Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Ponedas

A Memorable Stay at Creek Villa, Skardu Tucked between snow-dusted mountains and the gentle murmur of a stream, Creek Villa in Skardu felt like a secret retreat waiting to be discovered. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just a place to sleep — it was an experience of peace, nature, and warm hospitality. The villa itself is beautifully designed — cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated with traditional Balti touches that give it both character and charm. Waking up to panoramic views of the mountains and the sound of flowing water was the kind of peaceful moment I didn’t know I needed. What stood out most, though, was the service. The staff were incredibly welcoming — not just polite, but genuinely kind. They were always ready with a cup of chai, local stories, or travel tips that made exploring Skardu even more meaningful. The food? Deliciously homemade! Every meal felt personal — from freshly cooked parathas at breakfast to traditional Balti dishes for dinner. The best part was the villa’s location — close enough to explore famous spots like Shangrila Resort, Upper Kachura Lake, and Shigar Fort, yet secluded enough to feel like your own private hideaway in the mountains. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple seeking quiet, or a group chasing northern adventure, Creek Villa offers something special: a slice of Skardu that feels like home.

I highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers. Great value for money and a comfortable stay

Apex Hotels and Resorts offers a distinctive stay with their yurt-inspired rooms, blending modern luxury with a unique ambiance. During my visit, I was captivated by the cozy yet spacious interiors that echoed traditional yurt designs. The rooms were thoughtfully furnished, providing a serene and memorable experience. Apex Hotels and Resorts' yurt rooms are perfect for guests looking to embrace a blend of comfort and cultural inspiration during their stay.

Amazing location, away from the hustle and bustle of Skardu; wonderful staff that made us feel like home; beautiful views directly from our room; 1 second and you are in the desert; and let me repeat: the staff is exceptional! They really went out of their way to make us have an incredible time (from their driving services, to Q&As, and assistance during a road block). We highly recommend this place! Thanks Zohaib, Kasheef and team!

Faisal and wife are very friendly and welcoming. They are both educated and fully fluent in English, and Mrs Faisal is practically bilingual. They do their best to provide comfortable experience to the guests. Their home had a "design" feel to it. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom is spacious and modern. The wash basin is touch of class! We were served with nice welcome tea & snacks. Tea was also served many times during our stay. The hosts provided lots of information on culture, local attractions, and many different subjects. We enjoyed our pithy chat with them. The house is surrounded by small seating area in front and a garden at the back, both with shady trees, very pleasant. The location of the house is a bit far from the (hustle & bustle of) main bazaar and it's within walking distance to the interesting site of Buddha Rock, a must visit site if you are in Skardu! Faisal's wife kindly walked us up to it. The resort is perfect if you look for friendly life in a family home.
