About this property

Historic Cottage in the Heart of the Village

Welcome to Bancroft Cottage, a charming oasis in the heart of town. Stay in one of the village's original homes, built in 1824 and lovingly restored with modern amenities. From the fully furnished interior to the beautifully landscaped yard and patio, you'll find a relaxing space located within steps of shops, restaurants, the TJ Evans Bike trail, and Denison University. Enjoy Madeline's gluten-free bakery across the street and Seek-No-Further Cidery just steps away.Truly the best location in the village!

We offer a unique setting for guests visiting Granville and its surroundings. You can expect a quiet residential neighborhood of historic homes, steps from dining and retail experiences as well as Denison University. The house has 3 upstairs bedrooms as well as a queen sized pull out sofa bed downstairs. 2 of the bedrooms have queen sized beds. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds. Full bathroom is downstairs with a 1/2 bath upstairs. Snuggle up by the fire inside the cottage during colder months, or relax on the patio surrounded by greenery when it's warm. No matter the season or reason, there's something to discover here.

*Small events permitted with permission of host and additional fee. Please contact host for details before booking.

*Seek-No-Further Cidery operates in the barn at the far end of the property. Guest have their own completely private space and patio. We hope that our guests stop over to say 'hi' and enjoy a local craft cider in the barn or the courtyard. Let us know you’re a guest at the cottage for a free cider tasting flight!

*Chiminea is provided on the back patio. Please bring your own firewood/starters if you'd like to utilize. Thank you!

*1 night stays are welcomed Monday-Thursday. 2 night stays are required for Friday & Saturday bookings**

About the host

Hosted by Trent Beers

Host profile image
The cottage is owned and operated by myself (Trent) and my partner Ashlyn. We enjoy traveling, cycling, fireside hangs, and spending time with family. I am originally from Bryan, Ohio (home of the dum-dum sucker and Etch-a-sketch!) and Ashlyn is from Granville. In addition to Bancroft Cottage, I also own Seek-No-Further Cidery and The Lot Beer Co., both in Granville. We love helping to create a memorable experience for our guests and providing a unique, cozy place to stay while exploring Granville. We are happy to communicate by phone, email or text, and will gladly stop by should you want to chat or have questions!

Why they chose this property

We love Granville for it's small town, New England charm. The location is perfection as it is just steps from everything in town, yet just far enough away to feel like a private oasis.

What makes this property unique

Bancroft Cottage maintains the charm of a home built in 1824, while having all of the modern conveniences for an enjoyable stay. The cottage is full of beautiful local art, history, and amenities that will quickly feel like your home away from home.
