Red Bricks Homestay in Baskal

The story

Where Rustic Meets Red-Brick Charm

Some homes are built simply to provide a place to stay. Red Bricks Homestay was built around a feeling. In the quiet countryside of Chikkamagaluru, Kavya wanted to create a space that felt warm, earthy, and connected to an older way of living — a place where the beauty came not from luxury, but from simplicity, craftsmanship, and the character of natural materials. She was drawn to the charm of old rustic homes: their red earth, traditional roofs, wooden structures, open verandas, and the feeling of sitting in a home surrounded by greenery. Instead of recreating that feeling with modern finishes, she decided to build it using the real thing. And that is where the red bricks came in. Kavya personally sourced the distinctive red bricks and traditional elements that give the property its unmistakable character. Brick by brick, the vision slowly took shape. The terracotta-toned walls, patterned roof tiles, red oxide floors, wooden beams, warm hanging lamps, and open spaces were brought together to create a home that feels both nostalgic and deeply rooted in its surroundings. The result is not a polished resort designed to impress from a distance. It is a home with personality — a little rustic, a little nostalgic, and intentionally different. The surrounding greenery completes the experience. Step onto the veranda and you are greeted by trees, palms, plantation landscapes, fresh air, and the quiet rhythm of countryside life. Inside, the warm colours and earthy textures invite you to slow down, sit back, have a conversation, and simply enjoy being somewhere away from the rush of everyday life. But perhaps the most important part of Red Bricks is Kavya herself. She loves hosting. She enjoys meeting people, sharing stories, helping guests discover the surrounding region, and, most importantly, cooking for them. For her, hospitality is not about simply handing over a key and wishing guests a pleasant stay. It is about making people feel welcomed and cared for. Red Bricks Homestay is therefore more than a themed stay. It is Kavya's attempt to bring an old-world feeling back into everyday life a place where red bricks tell the story, the countryside provides the backdrop, and a warm host makes you feel at home. Come for the red bricks. Stay for the stories. Leave with the feeling that you found a little piece of home in Chikkamagaluru.
