Superb!

We cannot recommend Lisa and Ian (our hosts) highly enough. This week was our third stay at the BarkLake Hideaway and it never loses any of its magic.

A Bark Lake treasure.

The natural beauty of the forest, the spectacular sunsets over Bark Lake, and the quiet peace at the cabin were exactly what we needed for rest and refreshment. The cabin is tastefully decorated and appointed with everything we needed and more. Hosts Lisa and Ian have thought of everything to make Barkview Hideaway a perfect place relax.

This place will not disappoint.

We had a wonderful week staying here. It is amazing inside and out. For anyone thinking of booking this place, it is perfect for a couple getaway in nature. You can enjoy the trails, the dock and swimming, camp fire or just sit relax and watch the view of the lake from the porch or inside. Anything you need to relax is all here. Thank you so much! 💕

A beautiful setting that includes both forest and lakefront. This fantastic cabin has everything you need for your stay. A smart construction that stayed cool during this last heatwave. Heatwave you say? No problem, head down to the water on a great and roomy dock ehere you can lounge or float around and stay cool. Best of all for us is that our great hosts allow pets. And that made all the difference for us!

A wonderful getaway

My husband and I had a fantastic week here. This place has the perfect mix of amenities and serenity. We loved relaxing at the dock. There are lots of nearby trails for hiking. Barry's Bay was a cute little town and convenient distance for all essentials. Definitely recommend checking out the Wilno tavern as well. Lisa was quick with communication and has clearly thought of everything when it comes to hosting. The cabin had everything we could have needed and more. We loved the cappuccino machine. Despite being off grid, we felt like we were in a 5 star hotel. We will definitely be back in the future!

The chalet has a wonderful view and the setting is peaceful and quiet. The amenities are excellent. My wife enjoyed the large soaker bathtub. The layout of the open concept kitchen, living room and bedroom is well done.
