Lakeview Lodge

Every room in this cottage is a showpiece. The living room enjoys the most spectacular views, and a stone fireplace surrounds a magnificent propane glass fireplace insert that is decorative in the summer and functional on cooler nights. This is a great place for sharing a special bottle of wine or just relaxing with a book, bathed in the sunlight streaming in.

Up the stairs, those seeking something to entertain them will not be disappointed. A satellite TV/home theatre system makes movie nights an essential part of your stay, and a games room will have the card sharks going all in for a game of Texas hold 'em.

The bedrooms are elegant and will give everyone comfortable nights, listening to the loons and catching a cool night's breeze after a day in the sun. The master has an amazing en suite - you might want to make this booking on behalf of your group so you can claim this room.

From the main floor, the deck is accessed from the living/dining room and offers a panoramic view of the property and lake. The large lawn is a place where the kids might toss around a Frisbee before cooling off in the lake. An extensive 250 ft dock is a great place to catch some sun or jump into the cooling waters - oh and you can use it for boats too, of course. The lake is an interesting one, with a number of islands to explore and circumnavigate in a kayak or canoe. The screened porch offers views of the lake and access to 6 person Arctic Spa Hot-Tub to relax in after a busy day on the lake.

The town of Barry's Bay is an 8 minute drive for your basic needs - like ice cream (available at the Barry's Bay Dairy or the Frozen Yogurt Desserts store) as well as a Tim Horton's, multiple restaurants and café's, an LCBO, Beer Store, 2 grocery stores and a kayak/canoe outfitter. If you are bringing or renting a boat, you can launch at the Barry's Bay wharf at the bottom of Dunn St. We doubt you'll want to leave the cottage for very long, but if you do, the Madawaska Kanu Centre and Barry's Bay Golf course are close by to tempt everyone in your group.

Lakeview Lodge is for those looking for a cottage that has it all. We think those who book this property will be delighted all around.
