A desk, an open notebook, trees in the window and light that shifts all day: this room is designed for people who came to think or to work. It is the quietest of our private rooms, in our own description, and it has a private bathroom. For longer working stays, our workation guide and creative retreat page explain what the property offers and what it does not.

What guests say
Kanish was an absolutely wonderful host, always on top of everything and full of some of the best local recommendations. More than being a great host, he is just a genuinely warm and friendly person. We ended up spending hours talking to him about travel, life and everything in between, and those conversations became one of the highlights of our stay.
The property itself is in a beautiful setting, surrounded by lush greenery and the hilly landscape that makes Naggar so special. It feels peaceful, quiet and wonderfully removed from the usual rush of tourist places. And then there are the three adorable dogs at the property, who pretty much completed the experience for us. Green hills, mountain air, great conversations, lovely hospitality and three furry companions wandering around. It was our little version of heaven.
Would happily come back, not just for the place, but for the people and the feeling of being there.
Had such a lovely stay at Curious Cat Cottage! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning mountain views. The hospitality was warm and personal, the food was amazing, and the cats and dogs made the experience even more special. Would definitely love to come back!
The apartment is located in a beautiful mountain area. The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is very clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful with everything. We highly recommend this apartment.
Staying here felt less like a typical rental and more like joining a welcoming community. The experience was truly luxurious, highlighted by stunning, snow-capped mountain views right outside our window. The rooms were beautifully appointed with incredibly comfortable furniture, and the bathroom was spotless.
A major highlight was having Kanishk’s mom prepare our meals; the food was delicious and tasted just like a home-cooked feast. Kanishk himself was a fantastic host, always friendly and happy to chat. The common room was a great touch, packed with games that made our downtime really enjoyable. The town is charming and walkable, provided you have an adventurous spirit.
A few things to note: Pricing: Most services incur extra charges. Noise: If you stay on the top floor, the attic above can be noisy when in use. Value: While the food is tasty, it is a little overpriced.
Despite these, it was a memorable stay and we highly recommend it!
Beautiful location with serene views, if you are looking for a home away from home this place is perfect. Kanishk was very helpful during our stay, rooms were clean and spacious. Food was delicious. You will really enjoy this place, highly recommended.
A peaceful stay in the lap of nature, surrounded by beautiful mountains and fresh air. The place was calm, relaxing, and perfect for a quiet getaway. The owner was very kind, helpful, and cooperative throughout our stay, making us feel comfortable and welcomed.
