"Our stay at this lovely home was great. Everything from finding the property to check-in and then the stay itself was great. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were a lot of small, but very thoughtful touches that made the stay comfortable. I was there with my daughter and a few of her friends and girls had a blast. They spent pretty much the whole stay on the lake and paddle boards really made it a lot more exciting!We were there during a very hot couple of days, and it was a little challenging without AC, but we had fans in all the rooms and everything worked out quite fine. All of us agreed that we wished our stay at this lovely house was longer and we definitely recommend this place to future guests!"

"Absolutely fantastic!"

"Tucked in a sheltered cove and nestled in a soft coniferous forest, the Kenslynne domain hosts a cluster of secluded cottages on the rocky shores of Faraday Lake. Lynne or Glynnis will welcome you like family to stay in one of their beautiful lakeside homes. We stayed in Sharon's Lakeview Cottage, a tiny-home-like experience also known as the "Bunkie". This adorable little cabin does not have all the amenities of the other larger cottages, but is a cozy stay with its loft bed and pull-out loveseat. We walked the short stone path down to the shared dock with laddered steps down to a clear, warm lake every morning, and a few nights as well. The swimming was fabulous, the perfect balance of warm and cool against the hot August weather. The historic downtown of Bancroft is a quick 10 minute drive away, with small local shops and cafés, as well as full grocery shopping. It felt like camping in comfort, cooking local farm produce on our deckside BBQ, and taking meals in the dappled shaded swing seats by the firepit. I'm looking forward to trying the other cottages on future trips! "

"Exactly what to expect for the price of a roadside motel. Clean room and very friendly hard working staff."

"What a pleasant surprise this was! It has everything to expect in a typical roadside motel but the bathroom has a nice large soaker tub. Everything very clean, the AC works and the restaurant was charming with excellent homemade dishes. There is a lazy river floating by the trimmed backyard grounds. "

"What a great week … as others stated the property exceeded expectations …. Nice and roomy.. Kitchen is super well equipped … checkin was a breeze as door code provided and easy entrance. Master has great view of lake and sunrise… 2 bathrooms with showers is a bonus… water toys and inflatables were great as was the hot tub … lots of comfy chairs on dock and deck…. Screen in room overlooks lake and is excellent for your morning coffee and reading time…Fire pit area is large and roomy and ample wood was provided. The backyard area is nice and flat for your cornhole games and whatever else you need Internet was good and fast and allowed people to work if needed and be on video calls speed was always over 60MBPS All in all an excellent property and we would not hesitate to rebook again This feels like you are borrowing a friends or family members cottage vs a rentalPlease don’t hesitate in booking this property !!!"

"Very close to the main road , neat, strong internet connections , very good view to nature, and very friendly customer service. "

"It is a beautiful resort, small, quiet and clean. The staff were wonderful - very friendly and helpful. The only suggestion I have to improve is that the beds probably need to be replaced."
