A Weekend at a 3 BHK Villa in Mussoorie
Oct 19, 2026
The plan started in a group chat, the way most good plans do. Nine of us, three families, one very loud uncle and Bruno, our dog, who gets a vote in everything. We were tired of splitting across hotel rooms on different floors, and tired of leaving Bruno behind. Someone typed, “What about a 3 BHK villa in Mussoorie?” and for once nobody argued.
The Drive Up
We took the bypass road past Mussoorie, which skips the Mall Road traffic and heads on towards Dhanaulti. The road climbed and curved, Bruno’s nose out of the window the whole way, and somewhere past Suwakholi the villa appeared. Check-in was at 1 PM and we were early, so the caretaker had the doors open and the kettle on before we’d finished unloading the cars. Private parking meant nobody had to circle for a spot.
Settling In
Three bedrooms, four bathrooms, one big living space. The kids claimed the first room within seconds, the grandparents took the quietest one, and the rest of us worked it out over tea. For the first time in years, nobody had to knock on a corridor door to find anyone.
Bruno made himself at home faster than any of us. A hotel room would have meant a few cramped square metres and a lot of apologising. Here he had the whole villa to roam, with space to run, sniff out every corner and then collapse in the sunniest spot. He didn’t need a leash for the first time all trip.
The Food
We’d planned to eat out most nights. Then the caretaker started cooking. Hot rotis, dal, fresh sabzi, and on the first evening, a spread that had all nine of us quiet at the table. It was homely, hot and tasted like it had been made for us, not for a hundred covers. Honestly, it was better than any hotel meal we’ve had, and we’ve had plenty. We cancelled two dinner reservations. Bruno, who got his share of the leftovers, had no complaints.
The Terrace
By late afternoon the group had drifted to the terrace, cups in hand, looking at the mountains. The light went gold, then pink, then soft blue. Nobody reached for their phones. That view was the reason we’d booked, and it earned its place.
Night, Bonfire, Slow Stories
When it got cold, the bonfire came out. We pulled chairs close, Bruno curled up at the uncle’s feet, and the uncle told the same story he tells every year. This time everyone listened. Hot water and heating inside meant the cold wasn’t a worry when we finally went in. We kept the music low, as per the house rule of no loud music after 10 PM, and honestly the mountain quiet was better than any playlist.
The Days in Between
We didn’t rush. Mornings were slow, with breakfast made by the caretaker and tea on the terrace.
One day we went into Mussoorie for the Mall Road crowd, the Gun Hill ropeway and cafes. Another day we drove to Kempty Falls, a five-tier waterfall about 15 km from Mussoorie on the Yamunotri road. A third, the kids wanted forest air, so we went on to Dhanaulti, about 20 km and 45 minutes from Suwakholi. Every evening, we were back at the villa before dark, and Bruno was waiting by the door.
Check-out was at 10 AM. We left a little slower than we’d arrived.
