Summary: Spotless, well appointed, welcoming and felt like home! That is how I would describe Barkview Hideaway. If you are looking to decompress, unplug and recharge, this is it! Thank you Lisa and Ian for creating such a great space, surrounded by nature and beautiful views.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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!
