Harvest Fresh Farms  

Set in the serene Cumbum Valley near Kuttikkanam, a short 15-minute drive down the windward side of Kumily and close to Thekkady’s Periyar Tiger Reserve. This mountain farm stay sits amid streams, lush farmland and mist-kissed peaks.

The property feels rustic-chic with simple, cozy public spaces — a living room, library shelf and board games. There are just a few guestrooms, each with a fireplace and a kitchenette outfitted with a refrigerator; rooms include TVs and desks. Gardens and picnic spots frame the views.

Perks include 24-hour hot water, air conditioning, generator backup, daily housekeeping and a doctor on call. On-site features: picnic and barbecue areas, karaoke, a garden, bar and free self-parking. All meals are provided on the property—wake up to mountain-mist mornings and step into fresh air.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet and a 24-hour front desk. Tour assistance and transfer booking help with local excursions.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve meals, with room service available during limited hours. Barbecue facilities and outdoor picnic dining make it easy to enjoy meals on the farm.
