A sprawling 170-year old British mansion, Barr House was the second of the original British residences in Matheran, built for Captain Barr of the Royal Army and later owned by an eminent Parsi family for decades. Nestling under a canopy of towering Jamun trees, barely a hundred metres from Lake Charlotte and close to popular points like One Tree Hill, Echo Point etc, this stately colonial building

Amazing experience, this place is for people seeking calm and peace. Away from the hustle bustle of the market. Centre of Attraction is the bungalow itself, it's architecture and furniture.

The rooms are big with very high ceilings (so ceiling fans are out). It's a place to be with nature and the rooms don't have air-c

A very old, but beautiful building. Not easy to get to, but added to the quaintness of the location. The directional signage was lacking. Luckily, the rickshaw-walla we had hired to carry our luggage from Dastoori while some of us walked, was knowledgeable and and took those of us who rode by other
