Excellent Stay

Varad Puntambekar

5

We stayed at the Dunn Bar House in Matheran at the end of July 2025, and it was such a great experience! The place is 170 years old, and since my wife and I love vintage stuff, this was perfect for us. The staff was super friendly, and the caretaker was really helpful. If you’re into old-school vibes, you should definitely check it out. Just a heads up, there’s no network coverage, so it’s a nice little break from the hustle. It’s about a 30-minute drive to the local market, too. I recommend booking in advance if you decide to stay there. I found a great price on MakeMyTrip!

A Decent Place to be in the Lap of Nature.

Tejpal Singh

The Best Place to cut off from the daily chaos of the world, at least for some time. No Mobile Network,No Wi-Fi and No vehicles, traffic. Just you, Nature, Plants, Rains and tracking and some horse poop all over the places. Pretty decent property. Close to the Lake and other main points.Good food and service. Nice Hosts Ratheesh, Nixon, Shyam... Great Experience.

Tranquil and soothing forest bungalow

Rahul Chattopadhyay

5

150 yr old bungalow built by british amid-st dense forest with a beautiful verandah. Placed strategically, close to the lake and view points. Unlike other Dune Barr House - Verandah in the Forests, it reserves the feel of a real forest bungalow - no swimming pool, party scene. Food is good, rooms are huge and clean, washrooms are clean.
