8 Stunning Homestays For A Well-Deserved Staycation Under Rs 5K
Vacations are beautiful and something all of us daydream of all day at work. But booking online is always worrisome as you never know how strict the hotel policies might be or how little the hotel facilities might be. To avoid this, more and more people are opting for homestays. A peaceful stay in a home away from home that provides you with the perfect place to get away from your everyday life without leaving out the little pleasures you love, like your special chai and Maggi recipe. Most hotels give you a sofa lounge only on taking expensive suites, and terrace lounges or balconies are really just public spaces. But homestays provide you with all these spaces as your private spaces just for you to enjoy. So instead of travelling long distances just to get to a quiet place to rest, why don’t you cut your travel time and choose to stay at our beautiful list of Delhi homes that can take you away from your worries in just a click?
1. Lake View Luxury
We all love plush interiors consisting of perfectly stocked bookshelves, sofas with fluffed pillows, glass doors and windows with a view of old monuments, cute wardrobes and a terrace lounge. The whole loft vibe with modern interiors is very NYC-chic but kinda hard to achieve in our old world charm apartments. But just because we don’t have them at our places, doesn't mean we can't enjoy these kinds of pleasures. This beautiful luxury apartment is modern, chic, and charming and the terrace lounge fully equipped with furniture is to die for. This one comes approved by the Founder of Airbnb itself so you can go stay here without needing assurance of quality.

2. Lake View Glass Bedroom
Have you ever wanted to spend the whole day in bed with your partner with light coming in from all sides? Somewhere you can enjoy the view without ever moving your head from the pillow?

Well well, you’re not alone and so HKV has the perfect house of your dreams - the Lake View Glass Bedroom House. This is an actual B&B as it has no kitchen or dining, just a bed and the option of breakfast being served to you. But you won’t be able to complain as the place is just too dreamy, charming and perfect.

5. 3BD WOW
We all Delhiites love Delhi and don’t want to imagine living in another Indian city but we can’t deny that in most places we hardly have any greens here and at times we all dream about a greenhouse filled with plants where we can sip tea on our own cute plant-filled balconies (that we didn't work hard to maintain as the struggle of keeping a plant alive is so so real). For all those times, or simply for times where you would enjoy living with your friends without parental supervision, opt to stay here in GK-II at this beautifully furnished 3 bedroom house that comes fitted with all amenities needed. For an even more relaxing experience, the stay gives you an option to hire a cook as well.

Horses are majestic animals, so calm and charming that they create a magical aura due to which it is hardly surprising that they are part of so many romantic gestures - from carriage rides under the moonlight, to riding on the beach, to even the choice of baraat carriage in Hindu weddings. The Barn creates the dreamiest environment by combining a romantic farm life vibe with the charm of horses. Book this beautiful cottage set in a 2-acre farm and enjoy the sweet pleasures of rustic life without venturing out to the countryside.
