Vismaya Lake Heritage
Lake Vembanad
A teak house on a quiet backwater, taken by the room or whole.
The place
A restored teakwood house with two rooms either side of a wood-clad sitting room, built around a traditional open skylight with swinging benches under it. There is no menu — somebody asks what you would like and then cooks it, and you eat it on the veranda, in the garden or on the jetty. Two couples travelling together can take the whole house.
