The Stay

A family home that learned to keep good company.

Gypsy Homes began as our own house in the cedars above Bashisht. Over the years the spare rooms filled with travellers, the kitchen learned to cook for a crowd, and the orchard started giving more honey and apples than one family could eat.

Today it is six warm rooms, long breakfasts by the fire, and a small shop of everything we grow and gather. You are not a booking here β€” you are a guest of the house.
