Our cottage is made in such a way so as to provide our guests with the utmost comfort and relaxation. The accommodation is dispersed so that guests can have privacy as well as roam freely and be quite alone. The cottage is a double occupancy luxury cottage with an attached bath and a porch and has all the basic amenities. We have used traditional building methods in making this cottage. The bathroom has hot and cold running water. There are no TV sets in the farm as we want to provide our guests with a true farm feel so that they can connect with Mother Nature during their stay. Nevertheless, we do provide free Wi-Fi so that guests can stay connected with their family and friends. We have placed travel books and magazines featuring Sikkim so that they can gain more knowledge about this beautiful state. The room provides panoramic views of the lush green forest. Almost 70% of the raw materials used in the cottage have been procured locally from the farm. At Enchanted Forest Farm, we treat each guest as our own family member and look into their specific needs.
