About this property

Lantern Cove A-Frame on Sunken Lake

Welcome to Lantern Cove A-Frame — a freshly renovated storybook escape on Sunken (Crane) Lake near Dorset. Managed with care by Dorset Ontario Cottage Rental (DOCR), this cedar-clad A-frame blends cozy charm with modern comfort: 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, central A/C, fast Wi-Fi, and a bright, fully stocked kitchen.
A wall of windows looks out over the lake, while a stone-hearth fireplace anchors your cozy evenings. Outside, the flat, kid-friendly lot rolls down to a sandy, shallow entry and dock—perfect for little swimmers, kayaks, and golden-hour dips.
Spend your days dining on the lakeview deck, enjoying morning coffee in the screened porch, and exploring local trails or the Dorset Tower lookout. In fall, expect crisp leaf drives and campfire nights; in winter, Lantern Cove becomes a full snow-globe retreat with puzzles, cocoa, and fireside movies.
With DOCR’s thoughtful touches and hospitality, everything is designed to feel effortless. Arrive, exhale, and make Lantern Cove your new tradition.
