This was an amazing place to stay. The cottage was cozy and exactly what we were looking for. The lake is really nice and you can’t beat the view from the front deck. Our host was fantastic. He was very responsive and provided the perfect retreat for our family. We loved it and will go again without hesitation.

The views were absolutely picturesque, and it was the perfect spot for our family to relax, laugh, and make memories together. Highly recommend!

paradise found
loved our stay at Moondog! Beautiful setting - quiet end of a medium size lake - enjoyed canoeing and kayaking that are provided. Rustic cottage that has all the necessities (new fridge, stove, big screen tv and great internet coverage). Well stocked kitchen and a very responsive host. Thank you Ted!

Fishing just of the dock caught and released a dozen
Water was warm and clean.
Host was very kind and hospitable
Well equipped cottage with paddle board and more.
We had a great time!

Excellent cottage stay at Moondog
We stayed at the Moondog Retreat with our kids and our dog. The place is lovely and well cared for. It has all the amenities you would need to be comfortable and enjoy your stay. We enjoyed the amazing sunsets on the deck, we had campfire story time and smores, got to spot a few shooting stars, made good use of the lake - swimming and canoeing. We had a great family getaway. We also stopped in Dorset to climb the tower. We loved our stay at the Moondog Retreat, the kids loved it - would definitely recommend!!

Perfect getaway chill escape
The cottage had everything you could need and was very well curated in a retro/cottage/ old school vibe. But also all of your basic luxuries.
Great quiet property on a quiet lake. If you’re looking to actually escape and shut it down, this is the place.
Ted is a great guy who cares for his property and his guests and makes everything easy and amazing. What a gem.

Absolutely incredible
This was hands down the best stay we have ever had not only is Ted an amazing property manager and person but the cottage and property is a time you will never forget. The water is warm and beautiful for swimming and fishing, the decor is on point and gives so much history on the area and property the decorations are spectacular, the appliances are all new and updated, beds were comfy and super clean, bathroom is beautiful and shower is amazing. This is definitely going to be a regular vacation spot for us now. If i could rate this higher then the maximum, I definitely would. Thanks for a wonderful experience Ted and looking forward to next time.

Labour Day weekend 2024
Our family stayed for the long weekend and it was so relaxing and quiet!!
A definite rustic cabin like was used to when I was a kid, but with an actual bathroom! Lol
Cousins cottage growing up back in the day had an outhouse lol.
Ted gives you so much information about where everything is and was just a text away if we had a question!!
Would definitely return again!!

Our stay at MOONDOG RETREAT was fantastic! The cottage is super charming with its delightful Canadiana decor and thoughtful design choices. If you're into kitsch, you'll love the fun touches around every corner.
The amenities were excellent, with WiFi and a smart TV to keep us connected and entertained. We enjoyed the lakeside fire pit, the paddle boats (which our dog loved), and the kayaks that Ted personally delivered – such a nice touch!
The setup for outdoor entertaining was perfect, whether we were by the fire pit or just hanging out on the dock with a beer. See you next summer!

Heaven on earth!
This was the true rustic cottage experience that I grew up knowing. Very private and quiet with millions of stars and no light pollution. Calm lake without all the boats (there were just a few) made it wonderful for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, row boating and paddle boarding!! Our two large dogs loved it and our German Shepard was in more than us! The water is the cleanest and softest we have experienced in years. The cottage has all of the amenities you could need, with a real quaint days gone by vibe. It was perfect for us and our dogs without having to worry about our dogs with close neighbors. Truly Heaven on earth!!!! Thanks Ted for your hospitality!!

Stunning sunsets at the Moondog Retreat
Ted has a wonderful cottage to share, full of family history and all the conveniences you could want. The lake is beautiful and the water deep enough off the short dock that you can just dive right in. Plenty of privacy, lots of seating, great WiFi...what more could you ask for? Ted was remarkably helpful, answering any questions I had quickly and accurately. Hey, it's a cottage so you have to figure out how things work, where stuff is, and you can't expect a "hotel" experience hence why I only gave it 4 cleanliness stars. However, it was much cleaner than the cottage I owned for years! I've rented a lot of cottages in the last few years and this was one of my best experiences. We'll certainly look at coming back to the Moondog Retreat!

Relaxing time at the lake!
A rustic cottage set on a lovely quiet lake. Use of the canoe and paddle boat added to our experience. Our fur babies loved roaming the forested property and swimming. The cottage is very comfortable and decorated with many interesting items. The kitchen is well stocked and beds comfortable. Quite remote but can buy supplies in nearby Dorset.

Perfect spot!
My partner, puppy, and I rented the cottage for our honeymoon and it was fantastic! The water was perfect for swimming and the dock had a great amount of sunshine! The cottage is super cute with lots of fun vintage pieces to look at. Ted was great as making us feel welcome and comfortable. You can tell a lot of time and care has gone into this place. We had the most relaxing time! Thank you!

Fall colour extravaganza
We loved our Thanksgiving time at Moondog. The cottage is small but cozy and well organized. My bed was super comfortable (don’t know about the singles) the sofa too. Kitchen was clean and bathroom is massive and stylin’ . Incredible views, quiet lake, rolling hills to walk. Ted is lovely so be good to his cottage. ;-)
