It’s such a beautiful place with a lovely view, and has great cozy vibes. It’s also nice as it gives the secluded feel but it’s good to know the town is right nearby! The hosts were also quick and helpful with their responses. Would love to come back here again, hopefully next time in the summer :)

From the moment we arrived, the hosts were just a message away, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable visit.The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need.

Every detail was clearly well thought out, making our stay effortless and enjoyable.This is truly one of the best rentals we’ve ever booked.

This is my second time at this property. It’s a great spot for a large group of people, tons of space. There were a couple maintenance issues with the property while we were there, but the owners were quick to respond. Always a nice spot to gather, only downfall is the water isn’t swim friendly. Amazing deck!

Spacious Getaway

This bright, spacious cottage was the perfect fit for our family and friends during our annual ladies weekend. The beds and linens were comfy and clean and there was ample space to come together as a group or separate for some peace and quiet. Some minor cleanliness concerns, some repair and maintenance required around the fire pit area. Host was excellent to respond timely. Disappointed with the lack of towels /dish cloths and coffee maker not functional. Host was open to suggestions and making improvements for next guest. We will definitely consider returning for a future weekend.

Fabulous time!

My family of 5 stayed with our extended family. We had a great time using the kayaks and row boat. I appreciated that there were lots of dishes and cutlery as we had a large group. It was easy to communicate with Latha. They were very detailed on where to find things so we didn’t have to ask any questions. We enjoyed the large dining table as we could all eat together. My 3 kids under 10 years old loved the dock and kayaks! Everyone had a great time. We were sad we couldn’t stay longer!

Memorable weekend away in Bancroft!

I had an excellent weekend spending time with friends and family at this beautiful waterfront cottage in Bancroft. Every guest upon arrival was so pleasantly surprised with the quality of the accommodations and have already asked about coming back next year! The cottage was able to comfortably sleep 15 people and had ample room for outdoor activities in the backyard with easy access to the lake below. This was one of the best cottages I’ve stayed at and would highly recommend it for larger groups looking to have a fun and relaxing weekend away.

Bancroft Vacation

It was an excellent location on Waterhouse Lake. There were four loons nesting about 100 feet off the dock. Exploring the small lake was easy with the four kayaks supplied. We used the kayaks for a day trip up the local river. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. There were two maintenance issues that came up and both were dealt with quickly and professionally. We have no hesitation in recommending this site to anyone.
