Cozy Hilltop Cabin - 10 minutes to Bancroft

Escape to our 1-bed, 1-bath log cabin 10 minutes from Bancroft on beautiful Lake Baptiste. Ideal for snowmobiling and ice fishing enthusiasts in winter, with trails and lakes nearby and ATVing, hiking, fishing and more during the summer. Boat launch and OFSC trail entrance steps away from property. 100's of ATVing trails to explore. Self-check-in, host on-site. Ample parking for vehicles and toys. Linens and towels included.

Hilltop Cabin is a cozy 420 sq. ft. log cabin situated on our 3.5 acres of property. Cabin includes 1 bedroom with queen size bed as well as a double pull out in the livingroom. Kitchen is fully equipped with all the basics including cooking equipment, spices, coffee, tea, condiments. Private fire pit for all season use. Wood and fresh eggs available for purchase from hosts.

Guests enjoy the entire cabin and are welcome to use any of the property other than the immediate area around the main house. We have chickens living on site at the back of the property (no rooster). They are quiet and do not free roam. We also have a super friendly dog who will want to be your best friend but please let us know if anyone in your party is afraid of dogs so we can keep him tethered near the house. Chickens are always happy to have visitors as well!

Great quiet first family trip. The cottage was small - definitely struggled with seating for three of us to eat together- and closer to the main house than I thought, but it was still private and quiet. If you like a firmer pillow, bring one, but if you like fluffy soft clouds they have you covered. My son enjoyed feeding the chickens in the back and loved seeing the dog. We enjoyed fishing just down the street and the host was ever so accommodating with our questions. We left with our son asking if we could stay here for 5 days next time. Sounds perfect, to me.

Beautiful and relaxing!

I had such a great time at the cabin! Jenn, the host, was so easy to communicate with and super kind. I was staying in the area for work, but I plan to come back so I can really enjoy all the features of the cabin and the surrounding area! Thank you for such a great stay!

The cabin has been thoughtfully redecorated and the owners seemed very kind and welcoming. It was a good rustic escape. The 2 ceiling fans provided didn’t quite cut the humid heat, unfortunately, so it was uncomfortable in that way during the daytime but that is to be expected in the hottest part of summer.

Great space to enjoy some nature!

I was looking for a space to get out of the city and enjoy some nature. This space was great! The hosts were very gracious and gave me the privacy to unwind from the daily hustle and get some much needed r&r. Thank you!!

5 day stay

We were attending the Bancroft Gemboree as vendors and used this property as our home base. The accommodations were suitable for our needs - we were not there during the day and arrived after dark every night. The bed is very comfortable although the bedroom is quite small. The kitchen, bath & livingroom are a good size. The property is about 10 minutes from downtown Bancroft.

Peaceful Stay

We had a quiet and relaxed stay in this compact but well-equipped cabin. The hosts were welcoming but gave us complete privacy. The half-dozen duck eggs were a lovely surprise welcoming gift that we very much enjoyed.
