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.
