Dorset Cottage | Skyfall! Gorgeous Grand Cabin with a Killer View in Muskoka. Great for Families!

3 Bedroom Cottage in Dorset, Lake Of Bays

At Skyfall you'll feel as if you are in the middle of the forest yet you're just minutes from the Village of Dorset. Very private setting with inviting paths and strikingly beautiful and natural landscaping. Open-concept living space in 2 Great Rooms with cathedral ceilings, 2 fireplaces with stone hearths, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, all thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the glorious lake views and to fill every interior space with light. The indoors open onto a generous entertaining deck and patio area where you can watch the sun go down. The woodland office/writer's cabin (currently under construction), large dock and lakeside sauna round out this unique property. Beautiful clean shoreline with shallow sandy area plus deep water docking.
Please note, from the cottage there are 125 walking steps down to the lake, a mixture of granite steps, mulch path and wooden stairs.
Skfyall is our part-time home and we ask that you treat it with as much care as we do. As a close-knit group of cottagers, we endeavour to respect each other's space while enjoying cottage excursions. If you are looking for a place to enjoy nature, water fun, fall hikes, snowshoeing, fireside chats and beautiful sunsets, then please consider renting Skyfall. We value our tranquility as do our neighbours. We're happy to share our piece of paradise with like-minded folks, we only ask that you respect our home, our neighbours privacy, and the environment around us.
Important to note:
There is zero tolerance for trespassing on neighbours property. We've had issues in the past where guests have accessed out neighbour's boathouse. This is strictly for bidden. Please understand that trespassing on neighbouring properties will result in charges and/or loss of damage deposit. Video surveillance in effect.
Length of stay: Lake of Bays has implemented a Short-term Licence for rental properties in the area which has resulted in certain restrictions, including length of stay. We have decided that the restrictions are too onerous for STRs so have made the decision to switch to longer term rentals. Therefore we must have a minimum of 183 nights of stay per booking, which is compliant with Ontario's definition of a long term rental.
Dorset is only 2 km away with the famous and amazing Robinson's General Store (https://robinsonsgeneralstore.ca/) and Trader's Bay Restaurant. Algonquin Park is a short drive along Highway 60 in one direction with Arrowhead Provincial Park and its skate trail and tubing the other. The Frost Centre's 25km of groomed cross-country trails are only 10km south along Highway 35.
Please read and follow the cottage code of conduct while you enjoy your time at Skyfall.
If you are looking for a place to party hard, get loud, and crank the tunes, then respectfully, Skyfall isn't for you.

Summary: We had a great time at Skyfall. The view down over Lake of Bays was exceptional. The cottage had plenty of space and enough bathrooms. We were six of us but one night there were eight of us. . The kitchen was well equipped with good cooking facilities, great BBQ and close to Dorset to get groceries easily but far enough away to feel completely in nature. The cottage had character and charm. -great deep water swimming. Lots of parking and great star watching. Its a wonderful spot. Thank you

Anne S. Sep 10, 2023 11:00:47 AM

Summary: Our family of 5 plus relatives visiting from Italy and the U.S. (we were 10 in total) had a lovely week at this lakeside cottage. Highlights included the sauna, swimming off the dock, and outdoor campfires at night. Although the cottage technically accommodates 10+, we found that it would be ideal for a smaller group or a single family. E.g., the bathroom in the loft bedroom is completely open/visible to the main room below, so not great for private use in a multi-family situation. Suzanne and Sara were easy to communicate with. All in all, a cozy and fun Muskoka cottage!

Chase T. May 25, 2023 12:10:53 PM

Summary: This was our group’s third stay at Skyfall. We love everything about this place and the owners are wonderful and very easy to deal with. Highly recommend!

Dennis G. Aug 16, 2022 05:52:07 AM

Summary: The property was very clean with everything you will need for your vacation

Karey C. Jan 20, 2022 09:47:50 AM

Summary: Great swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and the property itself was very special- we stayed for a few days and were finding new nooks and crannies on the lovely property each day. Thank you!!

Meg C. Jan 10, 2022 05:02:19 AM

Summary: What a spectacular stay near Dorset! The cottage was spacious and had all the amenities we could have hoped for. The walk down to the waterfront was magical and the lake was exquisite. Our hosts were quick to respond to any questions. We hope to visit again!

Kevin W. Jan 8, 2022 03:17:04 AM

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at Sara and Suzanne's. It was both roomy for our group while still having lots of cozy corners for reading, playing games or hanging by the fire. It also has a beautiful view of the lake and everything you need in the kitchen. Our only note is that if you're staying with a group of adults some of the beds and bedrooms are a touch small (doubles vs. queens) with one room having only a kid's length bunk bed. But overall, great hosts and a lovely spot.

Nina B. Oct 7, 2021 11:00:18 AM

Summary: The property was spacious and cozy. It was the perfect place to spend our last summer weekend with the family. The hosts were easy and quick to communicate with. We loved our stay and will be back!

Corrado Q. May 29, 2021 11:00:06 AM

Summary: We had a beautiful experience. Loved the location and views. Stunning sunsets and sunrises. Going on nature walks. Would definitely return here in the summer where I can enjoy the water activities as well. Thank you for everything!! Felt super comfortable and everything was available and easy to find. Will be back.

Jeff R. Feb 26, 2021 11:02:14 AM

Summary: We are a family of 6 and thoroughly enjoyed a winter getaway. Great location, the kids enjoyed tobogganing down the driveaway and then cuddling up by the fire afterwards. Will repeat if available!
