โœฆ Our Story

Not a resort.
A real home on a real estate.

The Elm House started as our family's weekend retreat โ€” a 1960s bungalow sitting on a working coffee and cardamom estate in Coorg. We opened it to guests in 2019 because we felt too many people were missing what real Coorg felt like.

No swimming pools. No conference halls. Just estate walks at dawn, the smell of fresh filter coffee, birds you don't know the names of, and evenings around a bonfire with people who chose quiet over chaos.

"I've done 40+ Airbnb stays across India. The Elm House is in my top 3 forever. Waking up to mist over the coffee estate with a hot cup in hand โ€” I still dream about it."

"Suresh's estate walk was the highlight of our Coorg trip โ€” better than any guided tour we've done. This place is the real Coorg, not the tourist version."
