Cottage in Bancroft countryside for the perfect relaxing getaway.
Escape to this tiny cottage in Bancroft. Guests enjoy a comfy space (picture cozy studio) with one bathroom, designed for a relaxing getaway. The cottage stays comfortable during summer months thanks to air conditioning but has heat for those rainy days. Hair dryer, curling iron, shampoo, bath wash and linens provided. Explore the area or wander our 6 acre property surrounded by farmland. Sit on the porch in the rocking chairs and read a good book by day and take in the night sky or simply sit by a firepit (at the cottage or in the "park" area) at night. A small but complete kitchen is provided, but you can also utilize a Blackstone grill on the porch. Breakfast fixings will be waiting for you in the refrigerator or cereal in the cupboard (enough for each morning of your visit) as well as a coffee, tea and hot chocolate bar. The space is suitable for 3 people with a very comfortable full size bed downstairs and a twin bed in the loft. Not suitable for children under 12 because of the steep loft area. We're in a country setting with a tiny village nearby that has a bar (with great pizza) and a restaurant with great food. The cottage is about a mile away from a popular barn style wedding venue (Stone House); also within 7 miles of the village of Durand; 9 miles from Owosso/Corunna; near the Shiawassee River for great kayaking (you can borrow ours); and not far from several lakes and parks. You may choose to just slow down and enjoy the park-like area on this little "farm". There's a gazebo where you can picnic or a bench, table, & hammock in the park area (across the creek bridge)as well. The owner's live on the property for quick contact, but will respect your privacy unless you need us. We spend a lot of time outside, so you may see us and/or our grandkids around the property during your stay.

I stayed at this beautiful cottage for a quite time away and it was absolutely perfect! The host replied back quickly, the cottage/property was very clean, and the small special touches made the cottage feel like home away from home. I am picky about beds and I slept like a baby! Everything was so cozy and peaceful. I will definitely be going back!

Thank you, Kansey... It was our pleasure having you visit and thank you so much for leaving the little house so clean! Please come back soon!
If you are looking for a relaxed, safe and beautiful setting in the country, this is the spot for you! The hostess was very attentive and answered my text messages within minutes. She offered to answer any questions I might have had.The cottage was completely renovated and Furnished to offer comfort and peace of mind.
Pennys place was absolutely amazing. Her hospitality is unmatched. We stayed in this guest house on our way out of town and didn’t want to leave. The amenities checked all of our boxes and then some. Pictures don’t do this place justice. If you’re looking for a nice quiet setting in an amazing little guest house. This is the perfect place to be. We will definitely be back. Next time to just use this as our getaway spot. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

This cottage in Bancroft is overflowing with charm! As soon as I entered the property, I was greeted with an adorable cottage that offered all the comforts of Home and modern living—a welcoming porch, a beautiful kitchen space, a relaxing living room area, equipped with a coffee and tea bar, a claw foot bathtub, a cozy bed and a peaceful environment. A freshly baked loaf of bread with all the fixings for a nutritious breakfast awaited me in the kitchen.The owner has a very fine eye for detail. Everything was in place, tidy and clean.She offered immediate and clear communication to ensure a pleasant stay. I highly recommend this super cute cottage to anyone seeking R&R in a country setting.

Thank you, Amy, for the great review! I also thank you for the amazing gift - We will so enjoy the honey and balm from Amy's Garden and I hope your weekend at the Honey Festival was a success. I've just come from the cottage and appreciate the super condition you left it in. Remember us if you need to stay in the area - you're always welcome. If you do branch out into a vacation cottage of your own, please keep my number and let me know as we're always searching for a new place to visit!
This cottage is absolutely adorable! It’s a country modern decor, pictures are spot on. It was spotless and the host is awesome. They had everything we needed to make breakfast and a coffee, tea, and hot chocolate bar. I highly recommend staying here. Everything was perfect! The host went way beyond what you would expected in a vacation rental.
