The Writer's Lodge by Stay To Unwid
Breathe, Be, Belong and Unwind
Welcome to "The Writer’s Lodge", a soulful, two-level boutique retreat tucked between Landour’s old-world charm and the scenic calm of the Mussoorie hills. Just steps from Wynberg Allen Junior School and 10 minutes from Mall Road.
This is where the mountains invite you not just to stay but to "breathe, be, belong and Unwind .
Legend says this home was built in the early 1900s by a British school headmaster seeking solitude from the colonial bustle. He made this hillside lodge his sanctuary, a space for poetry, journaling, and fireside conversations. Over the decades, it quietly hosted artists, thinkers, and Himalayan wanderers.
Locals still whisper that verses once read aloud here float through the morning mist.
Now lovingly restored under Stay to Unwind, the space is your gateway to peace, reflection, and the Himalayan soul.
