Family-friendly vacation rentals in Dorset

Really great stay! The house was clean and fit our group of 6 perfectly. Location was super close to Killington for skiing. Just an fyi if here in the winter - there’s a large hill to get to the house that is covered in snow/ice. Make sure you have a car with all wheel drive or a snow mode to get up as one of our cars wasn’t able to get up the hill!

Fantastic space for a large group. We had 10 people for a New Year’s Eve ski weekend, and this was the ideal spot for it. Hot tub was a great treat. Be warned - the floors are squeaky, so if you’re a light sleeper in a large group bring ear plugs.

Bob was an amazing host. The whole time he was very responsive and helpful with anything we needed! He made sure we felt comfortable and at home. The house was absolutely gorgeous!

The house was a good spot to celebrate the holidays with a large family. There were enough beds and bathrooms to accommodate everyone, as well as plenty of parking for multiple vehicles. I also appreciated the pet friendly nature of the home. The neighbors were friendly and even gave us directions to a sledding hill nearby. The house is older and as such is fairly compartmentalized, but the living room was big enough to hold everyone for movie nights and opening Christmas presents. The fireplace is a really nice touch. The heating was good as long as you know to increase the upstairs thermostat in order to raise the temperature downstairs. No problem with hot water as long as you don't run both showers at the same time. Hot tub was nice. Second kitchen was key for storing food for everyone. There is a grill outside as well as a fire pit and air hockey is available in the cellar. The garage parking space was nice too. Plenty of winter activities in the area as well. Thanks!

Very beautiful home and lovely host! Would recommend!

Our group had a fantastic time here! it was secluded and private. The wood stove was particularly nice given that it snowed a little bit while we were there. Given its location, we still never felt too far away from anything we wanted. Brin was always just a message away if we needed too, fantastic host and a beautiful home. We'll keep this place in mind for future gatherings!

My family and I had a wonderful time! Larry is very sweet, gave us a tour, offered to help with docking our boat and even offered my husband the tools to fix the bunk on our trailer. The house is big and beautiful!! Very clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need!! The hot tub is definitely a bonus as we used it everyday!! The dock was perfect, we had room for our pontoon boat and jet skis. All around the perfect place for some R&R!!! My family and I love Cossayuna Lake as we are semi local and it was our first experience with an Airbnb. Thank you Larry for sharing your home!! Highly recommend this for your next vacation!!

We had a beautiful time as Roberts home is so peaceful with the incredible winter views! It was a frigid weekend so unfortunately we couldn’t really enjoy the hot tub even though we did venture in it for a quick 15 minutes . Do not recommend doing this in negative wind chill! The apartment had everything we needed for a cozy stay. Robert met us at the parking area and gave us a great recommendation for dinner - the Grafton Inn Barn Pub restaurant was so quaint in a an old barn with a fire going in their two story fireplace. What a treat also to learn what an incredible glass blowing artist Robert is. We visited his gallery workshop and watched him and his assistants create glass bowls and purchased a colorful glass pumpkin and an ornament. We loo forward to our next visit when we can see the farm and animals in full bloom!

Great host ! Great home . Close to the ski resorts . I would definitely give her place beyond five stars. So easy to communicate with Christina.. I would definitely stay at her home again. Thank you for a great experience ! Helene

Went to the area for a Ski weekend at Mount Snow. It was a 17 minute drive and only a few turns. We happened to see Emily as we were waking out and she was super friendly and helpful. We forgot some stuff at home and she immediately gave recommendations on where could pick up replacements. The house is close to several restaurants. The beds were really comfortable and we slept like babies and were ready to hit the slopes in the morning. Thanks so much Emily! Hope to see you next year.

Denis's cabin was perfect for our ski weekend at Mount Snow! The cottage was cozy, dog-friendly, and had everything we needed. Denis made sure the heaters were on before we arrived, so it was super warm and welcoming when we got there on a cold Friday night. He was very flexible and accommodating with our departure time, which made our trip even better. We’ll definitely be back—thank you, Denis!

Mariann has a great space in a great location. Very accommodating and friendly, made you feel very welcome . Very responsive. Really nice area. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely place to stay! I especially appreciated the list of nearest emergency rooms and numbers, and the list of nearby shopping and restaurants (which we totally went to! Great recommendations!) The apartment was very cute and spacious.

This place is a gem. We were here to ski in January, but I think the house and location are probably very pleasant in all seasons. Mary and Kurt have struck a good balance, as attention has clearly been paid everywhere to making the house cozy, comfortable, functional, and casual: there is a really good vibe here. We’ll definitely be back. It was especially nice to be able to have our retriever Jessie with us, and it says something that she also was very comfortable and relaxed in the house. We took some great long walks with her up the quiet road outside, and we all had fun exploring the frozen brook downhill from the home.

So close to Stratton, the perfect spot for a quick ski trip. Helpful communication and instructions from the host made everything quick and easy. Would definitely stay again!

Loved the vintage charm of this place! They have done an incredible job preserving its character while offering modern conveniences. Being former Airbnb hosts we were really impressed by the attention to detail! While we had a short stay on this trip it would be a joy to come back. Thank you!

Great place to stay for skiing. Very close to Mt. Snow. Matt was very quick to respond to any questions. The place was well equipped. The fireplace was great and added so much coziness.

Wonderful home in the woods with beautiful views of the mountains. We especially loved using the skating rink. The clubhouse pool and hot tub were also very nice (pool was heated to 84 F, hot tub was 104 F). Would definitely stay here again!

Great experience renting from Andrew. Very responsive, within minutes any time we reached out. Place was super convenient to get to the slopes. Locker outside the front door was convenient as well to keep our snowboards and skiis. Our family had a great time in Mt. Snow and hope to be back.

I’m proud to say this is my third consecutive year visiting Loraine’s Moon Valley BnB and it’s such a great experience each time. I visit in the winter and always walk in to a cozy fire in the wood stove, a welcoming note on the chalkboard, and the space being clean, inviting, and peaceful. Loraine is always responsive and helpful, and provides a wealth of resources and recommendations for your stay. The space is pet-friendly, and my dog and I especially enjoy walking the nearby snowmobile trails up the mountain. Considering Loraine doesn’t require a pet fee or cleaning fee, the space is kept in wonderful condition. You can tell she truly cares about your time there.

We absolutely loved staying here- beautiful and laid out perfectly for 2 families, each with 2 little kids. Super convenient location to Mt. Snow. We look forward to staying here again!

melissa was very responsive and even sent help when we needed heater :) nice house for a family gathering, our group had a great time!!

We had a great time. The townhouse was the perfect space for our groups ski vacation. We had easy access to the mountain with a short, easy 50 ft walk. Phil was very communicative and easy to work with.

Lovely farmhouse close to okemo. Tons of space for two families with college age kids to spread out. The hot tub was fantastic after a day of skiing. Would stay again.
