Nana's Cabin is a fourth generation (re-built in 2005) family owned cottage situated on breathtaking Lake of Bays in Dorset, Ontario. Our family invites you to unwind, relax, and enjoy over 100' of gentle sandy beach with stunning western exposure in our four bedroom cottage. The beach at Nana's Cabin offers full day sun and the most spectacular sunsets. The shallow and gentle sloping beach area is perfect for young children and adults who are young at heart. Only steps from Nana's Cabin, you will have full access to your own private 50' dock, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, Muskoka chairs, and outdoor fireplace. Nana's Cabin has all of the amenities that any family would want. Full kitchen and appliances (stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, Keurig, and kettle). BBQ and propane located on the deck offering a beautiful view of the lake. 2X 50'' LED TV, satellite, and high speed internet service. The clear waters are excellent for swimming, boating, and fishing. Venture out onto the lake and discover all that Lake of Bays has to offer. A public boat launch is located minutes away off of Hwy 35. Bring your snorkelling equipment, swim out to the floating dock and explore. The lake contains primarily lake trout and bass. At night sit by a campfire at the waters edge while star gazing and listening to the loons. The quaint town of Dorset is only a 5 minute walk or minute boat ride where you can dock at Robinson's General Store (voted Canada's Best Country Store). Dorset offers a full service marina with rentals, groceries and gift items, LCBO, restaurants, bakery, recreation centre, outdoor rink, playground, and artisan craft stores. Take a trip on the SS Bigwin steam ship and explore Lake of Bays. Don't forget to visit the Dorset Scenic Lookout Tower and hiking trails just outside of town.

| Nana's Cabin is great. We stayed for a month and enjoyed every minute of it.
The view is remarkable as are the sunsets. It has a southwestern exposure which every cottager wants. The sand beach makes it ideal for little ones.

| We are a family of 4 adults, 2 small children and a well behaved dog. We rent a cottage every year and Nana's Cabin was the best! Rebecca and Dan responded to our questions in a timely manner and were so easy to deal with. The cottage itself is beautiful. It is modern and yet still retains the cottage feel. The large windows provide lots of light and wonderful views. The waterfront is ideal for children and the water is clear with a hard sand bottom. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. Rebecca, thank you for being so accommodating and understanding. We had a wonderful, fun filled week at your cottage and look forward to renting it again.

| Our family had a wonderful time at Nana's Cabin. It felt like home and we were welcomed like so with a letter board. The cabin is situated on the most perfect spot and is walking distance to the town. We were fortunate to have sun for three days straight and we watched beautiful sunsets every night. It only rained on check out day. The cabin was clean and spacious (we were a family of 7 adults, 1 child and our dog). We hope to come back next summer or even during winter! Thank you, Dan and Rebecca.

| My boyfriend and I stayed here for just a weekend but we wished we had stayed longer. What a beautiful place. I can't say enough good things about it. The sunsets and sun rises on the water are stunning, the cottage is cozy & clean and stocked with everything you need, the beds are comfy and the location is perfect. We will be back again! Thank you Rebecca & Dan. :)

| We took our two young boys to Dorset for a short getaway and booked Nana's Cabin for the first time. Time at the lake is always amazing, but this cottage made our mini vacation even better. It was sparkling clean upon arrival, the communication from owners was detailed and informative, decorated very nicely and best of all, the two beds we used were super comfortable (sometimes hard to find at a cottage rental). The sandy beach and clean shallow lake entry were perfect for our two little ones who went swimming despite the cold weather we had while there. Short walk to the town. We would absolutely rent again. Thank you for all the nice little touches for our family!
