Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Shimla

Our stay at Enchanted Himalaya homestay was truly unforgettable! The homestay offers stunning views of the Himalayan mountains right from the rooms, and we were lucky to witness a beautiful sunrise without even stepping outside. The rooms were neat, clean, and extremely comfortable. The food served was 100% homely, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Although it was slightly expensive, it was worth every penny for the quality and taste. It felt like a true home-cooked experience. The hosts, Meera Aunty and Shubham, were exceptionally polite, welcoming, and cooperative. They guided us on a beautiful forest trek and showed us their apple garden, which has a breathtaking view. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home. There are two routes to reach the homestay — one via Shimla and another via Darje. If you’re looking for a little adventure, we highly recommend taking the Darje route.

What a fantabulous stay it was!! It felt like home away from home. Minakshi and Pariksha (caretaker) were so responsive and helpful. Minakshi was always there for us and Pariksha was way too sweet and caring. Would like to visit it again.

this is very attractive on behalf of view from balcani n it's very useful place for family stay....all over experience is very excellent.

Manish and Sajal are amazing host. Right from the beginning they stay connected and ensure all our queries are addressed. Their response time is super quick and i never had to wait for anything. Property is at wonderful location with breathtaking views right from the balcony and even from the bedroom window. 1BHK flat was quite spacious, its a newly set up home. Hence all the amenities - Bed, Furniture, Utensils, Fridge, washing machine were brand new which gave us a different kind of freshness. Place is just 15mins drive from the city centre and in a quite and Serene Surroundings. You cannot just miss the early morning Valley view from the balcony. Place also has a dedicated car parking which was an added benefit. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again.

The place was comfortable and clean and looked like the pictures. Kamlesh, the caretaker, was responsive and helpful throughout. The geyser was really good, and the food was tasty and reasonably priced. The room also had a great view of the Annadale field and we saw a helicopter land and fly off from there, which was fun. The place is located only around 1.2 kms from Mall Road, but the road is very steep, so if you're unfit like me it can take up to 30 mins with lots of breaks to walk there. There are some langurs which jump on the roof sometimes but they don't stop or trouble anyone.

Excellent stay at BnBBuddy Apartment. Worth the price I paid for the property. I must say value for money and excellent property. Recommend to other traveller.

Beautiful stay, comforting vibes, and a very good host... thank you so much..

I had an amazing time there. The place is even better than the pictures. You can order your food, the view is amazing! I would’ve given 6/5 stars if that would have been possible:) Thanks to Arun bhaiya, he was always very helpful and co operative.

The place is an absolute gem, a perfect blend of customer service ,hospitality and facility management.The views, the care takers and the cooks were great to interact with and the hosts made sure that everything was perfect .The views from the place were an absolute bliss along with the amenities and the insides of the house which were perfectly aligned with the idea of a perfect stay. Would carry the pictograhic memory of the same for very long.Staying at the Melville Villa was full of pleasant surprises.

A wonderful stay with stunning views! This Airbnb is perfect for anyone planning to visit Shimla. The property is exactly as described—fully furnished with all the necessary amenities, including a well-equipped kitchen. The highlight is definitely the balcony view—absolutely breathtaking and worth every penny. The host was responsive and very helpful throughout our stay. I would definitely choose this place again on my next visit!

Staying here was an absolute delight! The space is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Every corner reflects a sense of warmth and care, making it feel like a home away from home. The location is perfect and peaceful yet close to your needs.

It was an amazing stay and felt like home. The flat is provided with all the necessary supplies for the stay. The best part of the stay is the balcony and the view!! Will definitely recommend!!

Great place to stay, lovely view , the best thing was the balcony where we stayed most of the time at our stay there looking over the mountains, great host very friendly , the place is 30-40 min drive from mall road, only the last 200 metre is little difficult to drive , the place looks even better than the photos, great escape from the rush of city
