Cottage vacation rentals in Dorset

Charlie Cottage is gorgeous. Jess is very responsive and did not have any problem of any sort. hot tub was good, we called and also had a bonfire the last night. right outside the property there is a man made path that goes in a loop so pretty convenient to run or bike or walk or whatever. nice bench on the premises looking the lake where to see amazing sunset. bed was clean and comfy kitchen and bathroom had all the essentials. would recommend this to everyone. thank you

Amazing host, the dock is separate from the house, a 10 second walk, the hot tub and sauna are in the backyard. Water is very heavy and smells a lot, place is older and has bugs, but overall it was a great stay if you’re not picky. The hosts allowed us an early check in and late check out. Just because of their service I give them a 10/10

Perfect retreat spot! We had a few crews working in the area for ice storm clean up and this was the perfect spot to relax at the end of a long working day. Beautiful location and wonderful dockside spots to enjoy the sunsets. Jay is a fantastic host that is very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.

My team had a great time, hence us renting twice ! Thanks for your hospitality. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful place to stay. House was perfect for a concert at Casino Rama near by. Would recommend 100%.

We had an amazing weekend getaway with 10 of our closest friends! The place was exactly as described — clean, spacious, and perfect for a group. The kitchen was well-equipped, the common areas were great for hanging out, and we really appreciated the little touches that made it feel welcoming. The host was responsive and made check-in super easy. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing group stay!

Really lovely spot! The cottage is super clean, well laid out, with lots of outdoor space and tons of amenities, from the hot tub, indoor/outdoor games, etc. The neighbourhood is very quiet and peaceful, and just a few minutes walk to beach access. Really enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the hosts frequent communication and clear instructions. We hope to return!

What a dream of a trip to Muskoka! Eight of my friends and I stayed at this lovely cottage and had the most amazing time. The cottage itself is absolutely gorgeous and felt so welcoming, providing the perfect backdrop for our long-overdue get-together. Our host Ashley, was an absolute gem – always quick to respond and incredibly accommodating. We were so touched when they offered us an extra night because of some minor issues that were completely out of their hands. It just shows how much they care about their guests' experience. We're already dreaming of our next visit; this cottage is definitely the place we'll return to!

Bryan and Pam's cottage is hands down a whopping 10/10. It exceeded my expectations and then some. It truly has everything you need plus more. This place is a true gem! I'm upset I had to leave and it's now booked solid! Book this place, if you can, you will be amazed!

Beautiful and peaceful lakeside cottage! We had a great stay. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. It was very spacious and had good amenities.

Josh and Alyssa are great hosts. They are friendly and responsive, and made our stay easy and enjoyable. Their place is set up well, with lots of things to do inside and out. Not to mention, their rates are very reasonable. I would recommend staying with them.

We stayed at Julie’s for the May long weekend. And we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was quaint, but modern and meticulously clean. And it had everything you could need, dry firewood both inside and outside, seating around a fire pit, we used the beautiful wood burning stove when the weather turned chilly. And the kayak down the river is incredibly quiet and tranquil .., just the sounds of wildlife. A gem of a spot. It was a steep drop from the stairs to the river, so not easy to get the boats in and out if you are not in great shape. We had no issues, but might be a problem if you are elderly. I would highly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a peaceful getaway. There are trails to hike around too and the grocery store and other amenities are close enough. If you have kids, the sodalite mine is perfect for rock hounding enthusiasts! We found so many treasures.

A really perfect cottage in the woods. The inside feels cozy but spacious, and of course there's plenty of nature to explore outside if you want to. Adam came to greet me when I arrived and was very friendly and helpful. Couldn't be happier with the stay; would highly recommend it.

Beautiful location and cabin! The private dock was really nice to sit at and enjoy the lake. I wish we had some nicer weather but the covered porch allowed us to still enjoy some outdoor time and soak in the view of the lake. When we were indoors, there was lots of board games and things to keep us busy. Would definitely come back again!

An absolute gem – our go-to escape! This cottage has quickly become one of our all-time favourite getaways. Every detail is thoughtfully curated—from the stunning lakefront views to the cozy, well-equipped interior. We loved starting our mornings with coffee on the dock, spending afternoons cooking in the beautiful kitchen, and ending each night by the fire or with a relaxing soak in the hot tub under the stars. Jesse was an outstanding host—proactive, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. We’re already dreaming about our next visit. This place is something special!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our quality time

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at Eric's cottage! The location was idyllic, loved watching the sunrise from the dock and fire in the evening right outside the back door. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for a prime rib Thanksgiving dinner! Home and bunky were very clean, bathroom spacious and again very clean. We found everything accessible and easy to find. We enjoyed using the kayaks and canoe (little cool for tye paddle boards but there are 2 to use). Eric welcomes pets and our 2 dogs loved playing and swimming in the lake. 10 out of 10 recommend!

I recently stayed at Thomas’ cottage and had a wonderful experience.! The location was perfect—peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to local shops and attractions. The property itself was spotless and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. It felt cozy and welcoming, and I would definitely return for another relaxing getaway😊😊

We just returned from our stay and had a wonderful time. Amanda was very quick to respond to any questions and they’ve clearly put a lot of thought into their cottage. We had some rainy and cold days but loved the extensive movie collection and extra blankets. We loved the sunrise views from our room and slept well. The lake is beautiful (shallow at the dock) and we enjoyed paddleboarding around the lake and relaxing on the dock. We were pleasantly surprised to find such a large assortment of water toys, life jackets, and floaties. We were really happy with the kitchen supplies and found everything we needed to cook our meals throughout the week. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Alan and Rosalie’s place was exactly as described. Such a beautiful private spot. Rosalie greeted us when we arrived and she was very kind and helpful. We wanted for nothing! Their cottage literally has everything! I actually over packed lol I’m not used to that. We had a mix of weather during our stay and it was great to have fans, heaters and a fireplace when we needed. The private lake is so peaceful and beautiful. We felt right at home. Alan and Rosalie were very accommodating and I would not hesitate to go back!

We stayed at this cottage over the long weekend and had an amazing time. The place was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a highlight—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The backyard was spacious and peaceful, ideal for lounging or enjoying a BBQ. The owners were incredibly helpful, respectful, and responsive, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back!

My friends and I stayed at Hong's place October 2024. We've stayed there before and had a great time, and this time was no different. Even before checking in Hong made sure all questions were answered and gave us a guide to the place and the area. The check in experience was seamless and accommodating, and the cottage was cleaned very well. The cottage itself is so warm and cozy, and the surrounding area is beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay. Allison is very responsive and a great host. She was answering all our questions and give suggestions to explore. Very clean and nature friendly place to stay. Great escape from the noisy city life and had a peaceful stay.

My family couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. As far as bang for your buck goes you can’t do better. Andrew and Hali were exceptional hosts, very responsive and helpful anytime we had questions. Everything was very clean, bedrooms and furniture throughout were very comfortable. My boys would absolutely love to come back, and we’d highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a seamless experience on a beautiful lake. Thank you for such a great experience!
