A private lake, visible from every villa and tent. From June the waterfall shows up; by October it has quietly retired. Swim, kayak, or sit on the rock and do the thing most guests came here to do, which is nothing.
A small kitchen that sources mostly from the farm across the road. Live music on weekends, open-mic on slow weekdays, standup when the crowd is right. Non-guests welcome after 5pm.

"We celebrated Holi here — food, music, lake. Close to Mumbai, impossibly far from it.
A short letter from the hosts on the first day of water this season — who was here, what was loud, and which dogs noticed first.
