Making a house in the hills is very different from making a home in the hills… Joie De Vivre is a home. And you feel that with every breath, every glance and every touch. You can visualise happy families huddled near the fireplace, excited cackles wafting out into the nippy night.

This was our second stay at Joie de Vivre in Mukteshwar, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The property is beautifully located amidst serene hills and forest, far from the usual tourist crowd… Reema, the owner, was warm and helpful—she suggested some nice trekking spots and local places to eat.

There are so many things to love about the property, the Attic room, glass room, ample sunlight in the rooms with glass ceiling, rustic interior, lawn outside the cottage, board games, books and above all peace and tranquility.

We had a fantastic experience staying at Joie de Vivre homestay. Starting from the home cooked food, to the cosy tastefully done interiors and ofcourse the fantastic surroundings made our short but sweet stay memorable.
