Private Chalet in Nature & Water / Near Algonquin

By far one of the most peaceful and tranquil Airbnb we have stayed at! The place is exactly as described and shown, and Lisa and Ian take such great care of this cozy cabin. We are so relaxed after our stay. We will definitely come back one day!

Barkview Hideaway

The chalet is a most wonderful place for peace and tranquility. The chalet itself is ideal for a couple to relax. It has a beautiful ambience and the entire design and setup of the Barkview is excellent.

This is our second time staying at Barkview Hideaway and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is so comfortable and has everything you need. It felt so quiet and serene and the lake view is beautiful. We loved going to the lake everyday and there were never any people so it felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves. Ian showed us how to make a fire which was very kind and we really enjoyed the experience. We also got to see stars at night which were absolutely stunning. Would highly recommend staying here!

A beautiful getaway
