Relaxing,quiet and family friendly
We enjoyed the cottage! Our host Sherri got in touch to ensure that we had a way to get to the cottage as it’s water access only. We arrived to a neat and tidy place. Swimming off the dock was enjoyed by our youngest who is 4 and our oldest at 17!! Fishing from the dock or picking any location on Ravens lake with either the row boat, canoe or kayak (all provided) was awesome for all of us! The lake is a good size to cruise in the boat and just explore and we also did some tubing. Very friendly people next door as well! Would return for future vacations!!

Wanted to get out of toronto for a few nights before the kids went back to school. Found" running water" and knew the kids would love it, especially because its water access , and we could use our boat to and from. Dorset is a great little town, everything you will need. Raven lake is clean, well marked out, great for a cruise, or tubing .

Summer weekend getaway
We wanted a cosy spot to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 70th birthday. Sheri’s place was fantastic. Lots of bedrooms and space to spread out, well stocked kitchen, dishwasher was a bonus… sauna was fantastic during a few rainy afternoons. Being boat access only added to the fun. Great weekend in a beautiful spot.
