Great Location and Host
Have stayed at cottage 3 times now to attend Bancroft Curling Bonspiel. Perfect location and accommodation for the 4 of us, each getting our own bedroom.
All aspects of accommodation met our needs as it is a cozy comfortable place and the host Jesse was very easy to communicate with and answer any questions we had.
Will definitely stay here again.

Great Spot
We come out for the tall pines rally every year, this cottage was in a great location in town, while being a large property. Worked well for two couples and our 3 combined kids.

Secluded Cottage in Town
My wife and our teenaged son spent an enjoyable week at this secluded cottage right next to downtown. The cottage is roomier inside than it appears from the outside and could easily accommodate a group of 4 couples. Large property allowed us to play games like Bocci ball and croquet. Back door opens right on the the river where we could swim and use our SUP. Besides the Tim Hortons literally next door, downtown Bancroft is about a 10 minute walk away with numerous little shops. Just go early… the whole town basically closes at 4pm. We went hiking to the Eagle’s Nest and at Egan Chutes and biked on the 190 km trail that goes through the middle of town. We made a day trip to Algonquin Park, which is close by. We also took in a show at the local village playhouse. We did need to contact the owners once and they were at the cottage within 45 minutes and were pleasant and friendly to deal with. In all our stay was a great way to close out the summer of 2023.

Enjoyed the quiet
Nice to be close to town, we enjoyed swimming in the river and having a fire and having an otter visit us close by.
Lots of places to lounge in the house

Would recommend! Great location! It's in town, but feels private and secluded. The river is on two sides of the cottage. Very good restaurants only a few minutes away.

A Real Gem
This cottage was cozy and inviting, Jesse was very accommodating, helpful and friendly! The property was beautiful and still secluded although right downtown, I will definitely be considering this place again for future getaways!
