We absolutely loved our stay at Derrick and Rachel's place! It was everything we dreamed of. The place is private, quiet and you are able to fully relax here. The Dome is beautiful, set high with gorgeous lake views. It is clean, extremely comfortable and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. They have every amenity you require, and excellent seating areas outside (around the fire, and at the dock). The available kayak, canoe and paddleboards allows you to fully enjoy the property. The sauna/shower was such a nice touch and a great way to unwind at the end of the day. If you are looking for a hidden gem, slice or paradise, or the perfect getaway this is your place! Rachel was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend.

We had a great stay thanks to Rachel and Derrick at the Algonquin Glamping Dome! Amazing views of the surrounding lake and a lot of amenities. We really appreciated the attention to detail and guiding us throughout the property on first arrival. Felt serene to enjoy nature in complete isolation. Thank you Rachel and Derrick!

What an absolute treasure this place is! Beautifully appointed, completely serene and so peaceful! We loved our stay and thankfully the weather was perfect! Only thing I would note is we would’ve liked to be notified that the sauna and shower are located up by the main cottage near the road but other than that just perfect!

We loved our stay at the dome! The lake was the perfect temperature for swimming and the some offered great views of the night sky. We hope to be back again soon.

Cozy, romantic, fun, peaceful, and beautiful are just a few adjectives that I would use to describe ALG. Derrick & Rachel are phenomenally thoughtful and responsive hosts. Our only regret with choosing ALG for our anniversary is that we didn’t book a longer stay! Lots of wildlife and adventure nearby too.

We found a little piece of paradise! Although we wanted to keep this hidden gem to ourselves, we just can't stop thinking and talking about the wonderful time we had at Derrick and Rachel's dome! Amazing, serene, awe inspiring, perfect blend of nature and nurture (loved the sauna and water sports equipment). There are not enough words to describe this unique place. Check in was quick and our hosts so kind, the dome is so beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Having the campfire and a gas BBQ was wonderful and so convenient but our favorite place to hang out was on the pontoon/ deck. From there we watched the fog move out over the lake in the early morning, we sunbathed and took a dip into the lake to cool off during the day, waited for the sun to set in the evening. It was glorious... We will be back!!!

We had an unforgettable stay at the dome campsite in the Algonquin area! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning natural beauty surrounding us. The lake was a true highlight—its pristine waters provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and exploration. Our dog absolutely loved the spacious outdoor area, and we enjoyed countless moments together by the water.
Waking up to the breathtaking sunrise each morning was simply magical. The colors reflecting on the lake created a serene atmosphere that set the tone for our days. The dome itself was cozy and well-equipped, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
We couldn't have asked for a better getaway in nature. Whether you’re an adventure seeker or just looking to unwind, this campsite has it all. We left with our hearts full and memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Derrick and Rachel's Dome. Nestled on the water, we had an incredible view of Louie Lake and the highlands with its Fall colours. What a great escape into nature without sacrificing comfort. The dome was cozy and equipped with all the essentials - Derrick and Rachel really thought of everything! From morning coffees on the deck watching the sunrise to catching the Northern Lights after sunset, our time at the Dome has truly locked in some of our best core memories, and we can’t wait to go back!

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!

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
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!

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.
