About the host
Hosted by Rosanna Pagliaro
This place is our dream place in a place of our dreams….Dorset! We started our family annual trip to Dorset when our eldest daughter was only 4 months old and now, she is 40 years old and we were able to buy our cottage 9 years ago!
Welcome to our serene lakefront retreat nestled on the shores of Otter Lake! This spacious and private cottage offers the perfect escape for families and groups seeking tranquility and outdoor adventure. With its expansive 3.3 acres of land surrounded by trees, you'll feel completely immersed in nature from the moment you arrive.

Why they chose this property
Our place consists of 3500 sq feet of living space on 3.3 acres of land right off Hwy 35 (30 minutes from Huntsville, Bracebridge and Minden…well positioned!). It sleeps up to 16 guests within 5 bedrooms. There are 3 bathrooms, two with showers and one with a bathtub and shower. We have 180+ feet of shoreline to a beautiful sandy, safe beach. In addition, the lake is shallow 60 feet out from the shoreline so it’s safe for children, fun to play water sports or just have your feet in the water.
Coming here is a joy…7 minutes from downtown Dorset and a quiet yet fun place to be…you have many options.
