Cook a family meal or feast for friends in our full kitchen with plenty of counter space while socializing with friends thanks to the open concept space. Need a quiet space to curl up, or a spot to sequester kids? Enjoy the smaller den/ spare bedroom space, with a second television for some quiet and calm.
Ready to venture outside?
Follow the flagstone pathway to your own private waterfront; close enough to the cottage to trek any essentials down to the lake, far enough away to set parents' minds at ease with their little ones.
With 220 feet of waterfront to yourself, you can swim in shallow water, jump off the end of the dock, or our favorite fall activity- go for a quiet ride around the lake in one of three kayaks or the peddle boat available for your pleasure and take in the glorious fall colours Muskoka has to offer. Bass Lake connects to nearby Kashe Lake by a quiet, calm river for a relaxing trek around either lake, and even fishing!
At night, enjoy the sunset down on the dock, gather around the campfire and enjoy stories and s'mores, enjoy dinner outside on the large, wrap around deck, or spend a night playing board games in the screened in gazebo.
Want to venture off the property? There are plenty of nearby hiking trails, including the one-of-a-kind art-meets-nature hiking experience; the Tree Museum (10 minute drive away). A short walk down the road (or less than 5 minute drive) grants access to a larger public beach, still small enough to easily watch any little ones.
Nearby Gravenhurst hosts the revitalized Muskoka Wharf where you'll find Canadian artists handcrafted goods at the Shipyards, enjoy High Tea at Blue Willow Tea Shoppe, or enjoy dinner at family friendly Boston Pizza (say hi to server Melanie for us!) or a more grown up night out at the Dock of the Bay Steak & Seafood Grille. Venture further into town for other fabulous shopping and dining experiences, as well as easy access to groceries, essentials (including the LCBO) and last minute needs.
Barkway Lodge operates four seasons a year, offering gorgeous colours in the late summer and fall, and snowy tranquil getaways in the winter as well as summer fun. We look forward to hosting you for your fall getaway!

| We had a great time at Barkway Lodge! The cottage was big, comfortable and very clean. We had 4 couples staying and everyone had enough space and privacy. The outdoor space was nice and we spent the entire week floating in the water and exploring different islands and lakes. The kitchen had all the cooking equipment we needed, and the bbq worked great. Nothing beats a summer on the lake in Ontario!

| Highly recommend!! We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. It was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. We didn't run out of things to do rain or shine from kayaking to fishing to hiking trails. The owner was reachable and provided all of the information needed. Would definitely return for another getaway!!

| Having rented cottages all over Ontario for the past 25 years, this may be our favourite. The cottage is spacious and clean with a very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and the provided sheets and towels were very good quality. We made great use of the gazebo for quiet reading and playing cards. The extra tv room was a nice surprise. The ceiling fans in every bedroom and extra floor fans meant even the hot nights were comfortable for sleeping. It was also nice not having to bring jugs of drinking water as the tap water is potable.
The lake is outstanding for kayaking and paddleboards. There are many stunning connecting rivers to explore as well as a river leading to a much larger lake. The larger lake attracts the sea-dos and faster boats leaving this lake nice and quiet. The public beach just a minute away would be great for smaller kids needing more sand to dig in and a roped off swim area.
5 minutes up the road is a long and challenging hiking trail with great views of many of the surrounding lakes and marshlands.
Loisann was awesome. Very quick to respond and answer questions.
We rarely stay in the same place twice, but with the quality of the cottage and so much more to explore we are already looking at dates for next year.

| We loved this cottage! I stayed here with my family including 2 teenagers and it was perfect! Beautiful, quiet lake. The dock was great for morning coffees and for the kids to catch sunfish from. Also unexpected but a great bonus is a very small public park 2 cottages over (a 3-4 min walk) and this park has a large shallow sandy beach, shady grassy picnic area, and roped in swimming area for the littles! The cottage itself is large, clean and comfortable. Lots of fans everywhere for comfort. The teenagers appreciated the WIFI and the 'gaming' room with its own TV and couch. The kitchen has everything you need. Beds are comfortable. 2 full bathrooms were appreciated! Loisann was a delight to deal with, she was quick to respond to all my questions. We hope to be back next year!
