Steam edge home stay was indeed a home away from home.

We had recently been there to spend our family vacation. Our family includes an extreme of age group from a 65 years old grand ma to a 16 months old toddler and a kindergartener, leaving us to be cautious with our choice of resorts. Besides, we, the weary parents needed a vacation merely to escape the boredom and the exhaustion of everyday stress, not to mention the pandemic woes.

Thanks to Ms. Sindhu who owns stream edge, which came to our rescue to enjoy our holidays. She was considerate enough to clarify our queries and assure us a promising stay.

We chose to go on weekdays. Two nights and days were spent and every minute is an indelible memory. The staff were courteous and helpful at every moment.

The rooms were big and tidy with huge cots and comfortable mattresses covered with clean sheets. The bathrooms were large and hygienic with perennial water supply. These tiny things mattered a lot, as at the end of the day, you would just need a cozy sleep to forget your heavy routine. The rooms had pedestal and celling fans, but the soaring temperatures made us request for another fan and it was delivered to us immediately. It made a huge difference during the daytime, as the nights were anyways cold.

The other superb satisfaction was the food. Again, We had a mix of pure non veg seekers and a veg preferer. Stunningly, our taste buds were kept busy for the entire two days round the clock. The palette of menu both veg and non veg kept us satiated throughout. From the local cuisine to the varied flavours, the kids food to the delicious dessert, our tummies had a great time. Kudos to the cook.

The next attraction was the landscape and adventure activities which covered both children and adults. True to its name, steam edge is laid besides a stream edge. The rooms open up to the stream amidst a lush flora. As it was summer, the stream had minimum water, which became a blessing for us and kids to be playing in water full time. The tiny fishes, the birds chirping, the foresty greenery all helped us give time a break.

The adventure sports were fun and varied. The guide (Rajesh) was there whenever we needed him to help us with the harness and was so patient enough to give us repeated rides. Be it the zip lines, the balance walks, the slush volleyball ( not many places have this), the rain dance with DJ or the trekking... He was there to help us and escort us. Special thanks to him. Kids had a great time on the trampoline, rope climb, swing and see-saw.

The indoor games too were impressive with a galore of games under the roof. The cycling ( a great number of cycles) gave us another level of fitness.

The weather was in line with the summer temperature, but the nights were foggy and chill which made us switch to bon fires. The signature eeried silence of the forests with a blazing fire flames gives you a warm and cozy night to spend with your family before retiring to bed.

On the whole, it was a wonderful and relaxing experience for every one of us, safe, hygeinic, economical and adventurous. Polite staff always available to your call. Stream edge is definitely "once more".
