We have a total of four rooms, each with an attached bathroom with WC and rain shower. Rooms also have tea and coffee making facilities. The rooms have coolers and no AC, since we want to be as eco-friendly as possible. The thick walls and stone floors keep the interiors very cool in summer, and warm in winter. Guests have complete access to the other spaces in the house, such as the living room, kitchen, library and veranda.

We have named this room because of its enormous dormer window that looks out into the open skies and tree tops. It is on the first floor and has twin beds, a desk, wardrobe, full length mirror, and attached bathroom with WC and rain shower. It also has tea and coffee making facilities. Paintings done by tribal artists, and nature studies done by Sheema’s father, adorn the walls. This room is suited for those who want more privacy, since it is the exclusive accommodation on the top floor. It faces the expansive Salban library, and would be ideal for writers and book lovers.

Situated on the ground floor, it has a private veranda overlooking the Sal forest and the kitchen garden. It showcases our collection of tiger paintings from all over India, and hence the name. This room has double (or twin) beds, a desk and wardrobe. The attached bathroom has a skylight that allow the sun to stream in. This makes an ideal family room, since we can accommodate an extra bed. At the same time, it is good for elderly guests who may not wish to climb stairs.

A little distance from the main veranda, is a tiled-roof cottage with two independent rooms. One of the rooms has an antique queen bed, while the other has double (or twin) beds. Light streams into the bedrooms and bathrooms through transparent sky-lights. Two stunning Gond paintings are a decorative feature of the rooms. The cottage has been built with sun-dried mud bricks made by us, and showcases our local sustainable architecture in the best way possible. One of the oldest mahua trees on the property faces the cottage, giving it its name.

Although our rooms ideally accommodate two persons each, they are very spacious and we can put in an extra bed for a third person. The rooms have coolers and no AC, since we want to be as eco-friendly as possible. The thick walls and stone floors keep the interiors very cool in summer, and warm in winter. Guests have complete access to the other spaces in the house, such as the living room, kitchen, library and veranda.
