Cottage vacation rentals in Dorset

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay at Jeffrey Lake Cabin – we absolutely loved it! The place is truly special, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches. Everything was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Thanks again for being such a great host. We’ll definitely be keeping this spot in mind for next year! Sooraj

Wait.. there is no option for 6 stars!?! Wow, where to begin!?! From check-in to check-out, our group had a fantastic time. Our host was super friendly and easy to connect with at all times. Our group had 8; 6 adults, a teen & a child. Everyone was entertained at all times from the karaoke machine, the games, the hot tub, the firepit, the kayaks & canoes, the swimming, and the stairway to haven, which was truly breathtaking taking!!! The town of Halliburton was a short 10 minutes away where we enjoyed some shopping, lunch & coffee. We were celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary; 78 & 73 years young and they rocked that staircase several times! We frequent Air B N Bs often and this is by far my new favourite. There is already talk of a return visit in the future. Highland Bliss is gourgeous, loaded with all the amenities, is spotless, super comfortable and my family is so thankful to Marcia for allowing us to visit her beautiful space and create lasting memories!

This place was beautiful and right on the water. We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed it. We had enough kayaks to have fun in the water. The location was very private and peaceful.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage in the woods! It was clean, spacious, and incredibly peaceful — the perfect nature escape. The hot tub was amazing, and the game room was such a fun bonus. We also loved how cozy and comfortable the beds were, and the living room and big kitchen made it easy to relax and enjoy meals together. Just a heads-up: there are quite a few mosquitos, so be sure to bring some bug spray. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature!

My friends and I stayed here for a winter weekend away and it was just what we needed/wanted in a little cottage. Great location for those coming from the GTA and nice and close for those in Simcoe. Once we got there we felt right at home! The hosts had cleared the walking paths and back deck of any recent snow fall which made it nice and easy to get inside and enjoy the grounds. They went above and beyond by having the wood burning stove going for us when we checked in which made CARL that much more cozy and welcoming. Communication and instructions were very clear and detailed from start to finish which made the whole rental process easy and enjoyable. My friends and I look forward to coming back to CARL in the future!

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend at this cottage. The lakefront property is beautiful, clean, and our favourite part was watching the gorgeous sunsets that could been seen from the terrace as well as from inside. Jesse was easy to reach and made sure that everything ran smoothly and that we were having a good stay.

Beautiful cottage and also nice outdoor decoration and nice walk to river with gorgeous lights! We celebrate birthday with family so plenty space for 10 people, 2 kids and 2 infants! Also just mention there’s noise detector which host didn’t mention on description, inside you can be pretty loud only outside have to respect live neighborhood but it wasn’t issue for us to celebrate birthday! Was flexible check-out from Bethany which helps us! Airbnb host is very responsive which is nice, there were a couple messages I had to follow-up on.

Jessica was wonderful, and her place is absolutely charming—cozy, cute, and beautifully surrounded by nature. Grateful for the experience and would happily book again!

Susan is a great host, very responsive and accommodating. The home was fully equipped with everything you would find in your own home, as well everything was clean. Beautiful sunsets on the dock on a peaceful lake. Highly recommend renting the extra kayak and SUP boards.

Host allowed us to check in early way ahead of usual check in time which was great. Had an extra full day to enjoy the cabin right by the lake with private beach access and lots of gear provided by the host (Kajak, Kanu, Boat etc.). Cozy little campsite with fire pit and chairs. Great view of the lake and fall colours. Very quiet despite neighbours to the right and left. Vast selection of DVDs for movie night. Short car trip to supermarkets in Huntsville. Had a great time and would definitely recommend it. Easily accommodates 4 adults.

Ashley is a gem and her place is truly a diamond. Her place was absolutely pristine (and I am super picky about the cleanliness of any place I stay in) - she had all the amenities and her whole place looks like it’s straight out of a magazine. Her cottage is in a beautiful and quiet area, giving us some real serenity from the city life. Although our stay was short it was truly perfect and we would love to come back especially during the fall when the leaves turn colour.

This cottage was amazing. The place was entirely as described and the prior reviews were spot on. Roxana was very helpful, gave tons of recommendations and was very kind and responsive. Kitchen was well stocked, the beds were super comfortable, the AC was perfect and I literally can’t think of a single critique. A really nice touch with the s’mores station that my kid basically ate all of. We will definitely be back!!

We booked this cottage on a whim with virtually no notice to the owner who was flexible with our check-in making it worth our 1 night stay. The cottage is so spacious with lots of room to lounge, eat and sleep. It was clean and comfortable. The waterfront is the real MVP here - pristine water, pure sand, great doc and decks.

We had such a wonderful time staying at Rowan Cottage! It was my husband and I with our little Boston Terrier and everything was perfect! The place was spotless when we got there and the instructions to check in were very easy to navigate. The place felt brand new. It was just the right amount of space for us. It is a fairly private area and the waters were very peaceful, not a lot of traffic on the water at all! The views from the cottage were amazing - perfect for the morning coffee! Appliances were great, and the washroom was so clean. There were awesome board games and vinyl records to jam to. As well as a Bluetooth speaker to connect. We were never bored! For anyone looking to visit, there are a fair bit of mosquitos so remember bug spray! Overall an amazing experience and highly recommend!

Awesome stay with incredible views! It was the perfect escape. Felt like a tropical paradise. Janna was super responsive and helpful, and we'll totally be back!!

I visited the A-frame with three of my girlfriends and it was the perfect burnout escape. One of my friends was working remotely while we were there and, when we briefly lost Internet, Amanda was so responsive and helpful. My friends really wanted me to add here how much they appreciated the welcome wine that was left for us. Everything was absolutely perfect, we don't have a single suggestion. My girlfriends and I returned to our busy lives totally refreshed. We would recommend this place (and any other place that Amanda manages because she was just lovely) 1000% and we will be returning!

Had a really lovely weekend at Mei and Sean’s cottage. The cottage is very cute, clean and was exactly as described in the listing. Mei and Sean were great hosts. They were very friendly, proactive and helpful. They provided very clear directions on how to get to the cottage which was appreciated. We were 2 families (9 people) and were very comfortable….plenty of space to stretch out. Loved the option to have open or covered patio, and made good use of the kayaks. We hope to visit again someday. Thanks again for a great long weekend!

We're very enjoy Dave's place with clean house. the view from the lake are so great. You can view the sunrise from the lake deck areas with amazing feeling. Very happy and enjoy staying in this cottage. Thank you Dave and Sylvia and let our party have a wonderful memory.

Our stay at Wren Lake was amazing. The cottage is on a small hill that overlooks a cove in the lake. The dock was very spacious, which was perfect for relaxing and tanning outside. We loved all the water toys!!! The cottage itself was slightly smaller than we anticipated, but it made for a cozy and more comfortable stay. The spaces were very clean, and organized. We all particularly enjoyed the black out curtains located in each room! With Dorset less than 12 minutes away, it made our stay more convenient and easy. Michelle was very responsive and a very awesome host :) We would all recommend Michelles cottage, it is perfect for a quiet, and relaxing stay away with friends or family.

Gorgeous, quiet, relaxing & convenient place. Carla is very friendly & respond our questions immediately. We love excellent place & will visit again.

Beautiful well equipped house will all new amenities everything was perfect and well done we will stay again!!! Loved the house and communication with the host!! Thanks you so much for have our group we all had a 5 star experience

This is a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Cottage is well maintained and the lake view is just surreal. Will definitely come back.

Patrick’s place was such a lovely treat for my group of friends. We were there for 4 nights and appreciated the flexible check in and check out. The inside was very clean and larger than expected. The beds were quite comfortable and the ceiling fans & portable fan were appreciated on the hotter days. As noted, the walk down to the water can be a bit steep but it’s not a very long walk so we had no issues. The dock itself doesn’t get much sun - at about 12:30pm it’s full shade. This wasn’t an issue for us but worth noting for those who expect to sun bathe. The lake itself was super peaceful and clean - not a very weedy lake at all and almost zero boat traffic. Kitchen is great. The fridge is massive. Having a dishwasher is a nice touch. Not a great selection of pans to use for cooking, only a medium size one that wasn’t completely destroyed. I’m sure that’s hard to manage with guests who may not treat them well. If you plan to cook a lot maybe bring one. We enjoyed our stay :)
