The cottage is in a beautiful setting and is very well equipped. We had a wonderful short break. Mr and Mrs Smith were welcoming and helpful. If I could give this cottage 12 out of ten I would. We hope to be able to visit again one day.
Our stay was amazing! The view is stunning, the cottage was clean and has everything you need for your stay. We loved spending time outside and on the dock. Highly recommend!
Cottage was beautiful and clean.Setting was great and access couldn’t be better.The cottage was the best equipped unit we’ve rented on Vrbo.Everything was great.
What a fabulous summer property. All is at your disposal whether you want to spend time on the lake, go to a golf course around the corner, or just take in nature on some hikes…The cottage is newly built, it is maintained very well, and has all the amenities that you would need. I highly recommend staying at this Muskoka cottage.
Absolutely loved everything about our stay- absolutely stunning location and cabin, very thoughtful in all the little details - I’d love to return someday
The cottage is beautiful, well built and impeccably maintained. Ken and Tara are very responsive and the cottage is equipped with everything one could possibly require. The deck is huge and perfect for sundowners. I highly recommend this spot.
We had a great week at the cottage—everything was well done at the cottage and all the amenities were fantastic. Tara and Ken are wonderful hosts. Would stay again.
We had a lovely 4 nights. Tara and Ken met us at cottage and showed us around. Excellent hosts. Cottage is fully equipped with all you need for a very comfortable stay. Best bit of it for us was sitting quietly on the huge deck relaxing.
We stayed at this cottage for our elopement, and it was absolutely perfect. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay special, and after reading so many reviews saying the same thing, we knew we had made the right choice. The property is stunning, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. At night, you can lie on the dock and see the stars so clearly! It’s truly magical! We can’t wait to come back next year to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend this beautiful spot!
This place is perfect and spotless. Communication with host easy. Ken and Tara have made this a real home from home. No detail has been left undone. The thought and special touches that have gone into this house and the extras provided is amazing.The lake view from the lower deck will stay with us for ever. We came from the UK and hope to visit again.
Owners are close by and are professional, kind and welcoming. The property is beautiful, beds are comfortable, and the dock (and view) are everything you associate to staying at a cottage in Muskoka.
We were looking for a place to get away and relax. The Muskoka Lake Chalet was the perfect place. The outdoor decks and dock were perfect for relaxing by the water or enjoying a meal. The firepit is a wonderful way to enjoy the evening. The cottage itself was well appointed with anything you could possibly want. It was very clean and had plenty of cottage charm. We liked it so much, we’re looking at dates to possibly book again in the Fall.
Amazing cottage over looking the lake. Enjoyed the large dock and fire pit to sit back and relax. The new cottage was fully equipped, spacious and extremely comfortable. Tara was an amazing host.
This cottage was clean and absolutely beautiful! Ken and Tara were fantastic to deal with. My 12 year old boy/girl twins are asking when we can go back!
Really enjoyed the lake view and the large window in the living room. The property also had many household items that were very useful including board games in the TV cabinet. Note that the living room couches seat 5 people.
Loved our stay! Right on the lake. Simply amazing. Built and designed by ken and his son.
All details were attended to from purofief water to lovely linens. Spacious and new. Well maintained by wonderful hosts. They even brought us kindling wood and fire starters. Will definitely come back!

About the host
Hosted by Tara Smith
My husband and I have had the good fortune of living in Muskoka for over 40 years. We have raised our family here and enjoy all the seasons. We take part in hiking and biking, as well as kayaking in the area. My husband's family have lived on the property for over 100 years. My son built the cottage, with the help of my husband. We hope that others will be able to fully enjoy the area when they visit the cottage.
Why they chose this property
Barlochan Lookout is on a bay on Walker's Point on Lake Muskoka. There is boating access to the big three lakes; We are situated between Bala and Gravenhurst on a year round maintained road. Close to the Torrance Barrens, you can enjoy the dark nigh sky of Central Ontario from either the Barrens, or right from the dock. Close to Bala , Port Carling and Gravenhurst for shopping and browsing. Hardy Lake Park nearby offers hiking trails of various lengths from 3 km to 9 km.
What makes this property unique
The lake property has been in my husband's family for over 100 years. We built this cottage with love, and hope all our guests enjoy it as much as we do. We have first had knowledge of the area; pay attention to detail; and are immediately available should you need our assistance.
