Exceeded Expectations

Property is impeccable in a beautiful cove like setting. It was everything we could have hoped for during our family get together. Spacious clean and comfortable. The cottage interior was warm and inviting with plenty of things to do. So many small details were taken care of and we are grateful that we found this listing. Well worth the stay and we plan on booing again in the future.

This spacious and private cottage offers the perfect escape for families and groups seeking tranquility and outdoor adventure. With its expansive 3.3 acres of land surrounded by trees, you'll feel completely immersed in nature from the moment you arrive.

Why they chose this property

Our place consists of 3500 sq feet of living space on 3.3 acres of land right off Hwy 35 (30 minutes from Huntsville, Bracebridge and Minden…well positioned!). It sleeps up to 16 guests within 5 bedrooms. There are 3 bathrooms, two with showers and one with a bathtub and shower. We have 180+ feet of shoreline to a beautiful sandy, safe beach. In addition, the lake is shallow 60 feet out from the shoreline so it’s safe for children, fun to play water sports or just have your feet in the water.
Coming here is a joy…7 minutes from downtown Dorset and a quiet yet fun place to be…you have many options.
