Resort, Lake Forest @ Yercaud

INDeco’s The Lake Forest Hotel at Yercaud,Hill Station is one of the finest resorts I have stayed in Southern India.


located and crafted (as they say) among live coffee garden, on a hill slope, this resort has amazing  collections of antique articles which are decorated in each of the 40+ cottages they own.

Design for delight it is beautiful, unique to a great extend and if you happen to visit post Diwali time, you will enjoy company of clouds that will knock your cottage door.

What kills the fun though is below average services at room, and house keeping. Something that lacks both professionalism and promptness. Here they have a huge scope of improvement. Customer satisfaction cannot be ensured just by decorating rooms good but by providing quality services, something that is grossly missing at this resort.

Well that is the not end of this decade old resort. It some things are bad some are really good, I like the taste of food and courtesy of 'Club Mahindra' staff at hotel.


What I like here;

  • Location
  • Rooms
  • Evenings
  • Nature
  • Food

What is not good;

  • Service standards
  • entertainment (nothing beyond a small club room & rare fun activities in evening)
  • price (higher than average cost of stay)
Overall rating: 2.5 of 5
