Gurney House is a historic building and was the residence of hunter-conservationist and writer Jim Corbett.It is located near Nainital Lake and was built in 1881. Miss Margaret Winifred Corbett, Jim Corbett's sister, sold the house to Mr. Sharda Prasad Varma in the year 1947 when they left for Kenya. Currently the house is owned by his granddaughter, Nilanjana Dalmia. The cottage was constructed in 1880 with the dismantled material of their earlier house on Alma Hill . And hence the name implying a house built of carted material of a dismantled house.Gurney House maintains its colonial character and old-world charm. Still housing many of Corbett's furniture and possessions, the house brings Corbett's writings alive.Gurney House is a private home but its residents welcome Corbett-lovers by appointment for a complimentary tour of this heritage property.
