Vanilla County is a 75 year old Dutch style Heritage Plantation House nestled in the Vagamon Valley, The Western Ghats. The Western Ghats is one of the eight hot spots of biological diversity of the world. It is a UNESCO recognized world heritage site and contains a very large proportion of the country's flora and fauna, many of which are only found in India and nowhere else in the world. The house is a family boutique inn set amidst the unspoiled rural country side typical of the Western Ghats. This property is home to spices, vegetables, trees and flora of many kinds. Nestled amidst lush green hills and gushing streams, our bungalow offers a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Food that is handcrafted with organic home-grown or locally sourced spices and produce ensures that we serve a slice of our home, not compromising on safety or quality. We pride in the hospitality we offer, which is different to what you would experience from a hotel, it is custom crated and we believe in treating our guests as we would our family. This is what sets us apart.
