Welcome home

A family home,
open to guests.

Golden Commune is a family-run homestay outside Dehradun city, with views of the Mussoorie hills. Our parents live here, so you stay in a home that is truly looked after. Ma and Dad are always on hand to make sure you are fed well, with delicious home-cooked meals, and the conversations over those meals are a big part of our day.

The younger generations of the family, from Gen X to Millennials and Alphas, visit as often as we can. We stay in touch with you from the moment you book, so your reservation, arrival, stay and local experiences all match your expectation.
