Lots of space and great fishing off dock.
Posted Jul. 24, 2024 on HomeAwayOverall great experience. Lake is wonderful, quiet, and safe to canoe in. Good fishing off dock for sunfish and bass. Many mosquitoes, but expected for Ontario! Thank you, Ali!!

Quiet Lake, Bancroft
Posted Sep. 11, 2023 on HomeAwayWe really enjoyed our 2 week stay.
The sauna was great and a smaller lake with no power boats made it so peaceful. Canoe and kayaks were used daily. Cottage was roomy and fully equipped.
The series of steps to the water may be too much for some guests. The new dock could use a ladder for easier water access.

Gorgeous View
Posted Sep. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayLoved the lake had no motorized boats and view from all levels was gorgeous. Did not use the dock as I would have liked as it was quite a walk down from the cottage.

Cleaning charge should be 1/4 of actual.
Posted Aug. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayOnly major complaint - place needs a major cleaning. Under beds, couches and overalll should have a thorough vacuuming and scrubbed. Tried to vacuum but not very powerful. Mattresses could use an upgrade.
The location was great. Canoe and lots of life jackets. Lots of out door chairs up top and shore line. Clean clear lake, great for swims.

A perfect weekend getaway
Posted Aug. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayWe stayed at Ali's beautiful cottage for a girl's getaway weekend. The cottage is lovely, a little rustic but definitely has everything you could need. The lake is stunning, we swam and barbecued and enjoyed a fire under the stars and would climb into the sauna (which does take a while to heat up - about an hour) and just had the most perfect weekend. The only thing item we noticed which we would have loved to have is a ladder for climbing back onto the dock after a swim in lake, but other than that, our stay was perfection!

So glad you had a great time!! Appologies about the dock ladder as it needed repair. Hope to host you again :)

Great family getaway
Posted Jul. 10, 2023 on HomeAwayThis cottage had everything we needed, including lots of rooms and 2 bathrooms so we could all have our own space. Gorgeous lake, clean and very few weeds made for great swimming and paddle boarding. Super quiet area so if you’re looking for tranquility, this is a great option. Very short drive to shops and restaurants in Bancroft. Host was quick to respond and helpful. We would definitely book again. Our kids are 12 and 14 and we all agreed it was our best cottage trip yet! Thanks Ali!

Beautiful natural setting
Posted Aug. 23, 2022 on HomeAwayWe had a lovely time. The house was well-appointed and comfortable; the natural setting was gorgeous -- very restorative. Ali was extremely prompt with any questions and very helpful. The proximity to downtown Bancroft was quite convenient, yet we were in a very private and quiet setting. We loved the fact that no motorized vehicles are allowed on the water. We swam, canoed, and kayaked. The water was lovely. Very convenient to have firepits and picnic tables at two different levels (although we only ended up using one). We missed having a dishwasher, but it was not a big deal. We had a great week.

Amazing stay in Bancroft
Posted Jul. 31, 2022 on HomeAwayExceptional stay - our host provided excellent communication and was super responsive! The property was wonderful - very private, peaceful, clean lake and great swimming! Very clean and well equipped. Good wifi allowed for working remote. Everything you could ask for! We stayed for a month and made wonderful memories. Will definitely be back again.
