Algonquin Lakeview Glamping Dome
Beautiful dome on private lake!
My parents and I absolutely loved our stay at Darren & Rachel’s glamping site! The space exceeded our expectations. Having a whole lake to yourself is an incredible experience. The water is clear and calm - perfect for a swim or paddle! The glamping dome is just as depicted in the images, and really provides for a comfortable and luxurious camping experience. Darren & Rachel went above and beyond with the amenities. They thoughtfully stocked the dome and surrounding area with many essentials which eased the packing process and saved us a trip into town (e.g., comprehensive kitchenette supplies, BBQ tools, substantial drinking water, biodegradable dish soap and shower products, towels and linens, matches, fire starter, flashlights, life jackets, etc.)!
The whole property (I.e., dome, BBQ area, shower, sauna) is all clearly very well taken care of! We also appreciated all the lovely decor choices that added to the luxury element.
You are close enough to Algonquin park that it’s totally reasonable to do a day trip if you’d like to check out the hiking! Dorset is even closer, and was a good place to get groceries and any other essentials.
Darren & Rachel were very easy to get in contact with, and always provided quick answers to any questions we had.
We would highly recommend Darren & Rachel’s glamping spot! It was definitely hard to leave on the last day!

Algonquin Lakeview Glamping Dome
Hidden Gem
This was our very first time camping! We camped with a 4 year old and a 6 month old and it was AMAZING!!!!! From the bed to the seating area with the views there was nothing in the DOME that was not cozy and chic! The outdoor space and water access was great and my kid loved the doc, water, animals and views!
We definetly over packed as Darren & Rachel had everything we needed and so much more! Marshmellows, graham crackers, chocolate and even the roasting sticks my 4 year old was estatic to stay the least. Thanks for making our first experience memorable, cozy and fun. The indoor board games were great too as it rained the first night we stayed.
The owners were very easy to get in touch with and very kind.
Thanks for sharing this sweet gem of a location, we couldnt have had a better 1st time glamping experience.

Algonquin Lakeview Glamping Dome
Incredible! Didn't want to leave!
Darren and Rachel's dome on the water was everything and more then what we were looking for. This place was an absolute gem. We both love back country camping and being off the grid when we go camping but this summer we were a little to busy to plan a backcountry trip. We booked here stayed for 2 nights and although we were really camping in luxury it still gave us that algonquin backcountry itch with a muskoka cottage feel. The dome was so beautiful inside and everything seemed to be well thought out. We loved just relaxing on the dock all day and then hitting the sauna at night, grab a shower and stargazing inside the dome at night. Rachel was very attentive with responding and helped out so much with changing our plans to escape a rainy trip. We will definitely be back! One of our best trips ever!

Algonquin Lakeview Glamping Dome
A true one-of-kind gem located in the middle of Algonquin Highlands! This was the perfect getaway for my little family. I stayed here with my husband and 21 month old and automatically was floored by the beautifully decorated dome and amazing views. I was shocked at the fact that we basically had an entire lake to ourselves (there are no other cottages/homes located on this lake) and at how affordable the dome was in comparison to others I’ve seen on Airbnb and other vacation rental websites. The dome itself was decorated and furnished charmingly, with boho chic and vintage pieces. Inside, we had access to a king bed, dining and seating area overlooking the lake as well as a fireplace, which came in handy at night when the temperatures dropped. We loved how clean the dome was as well. It was clear the hosts put a lot of thought into the needs of “glampers”, providing everything we needed in the dome from flashlights, to drinking water, to board games, etc. I appreciated that framed instructions were nearby as a reference to locate what we needed or find out how to operate items. Regarding activities, we were able to paddle board, swim, and lounge on the lake as we had access to all necessary equipment. I was even pleasantly surprised and grateful an infant life jacket was available for my daughter! I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience was. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an elevated camping/glamping experience.
