Quiet Lake, Bancroft

We really enjoyed our 2 week stay. The sauna was great and a smaller lake with no power boats made it so peaceful. Canoe and kayaks were used daily. Cottage was roomy and fully equipped. The series of steps to the water may be too much for some guests. The new dock could use a ladder for easier water access.

Gorgeous View

Loved the lake had no motorized boats and view from all levels was gorgeous. Did not use the dock as I would have liked as it was quite a walk down from the cottage.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Cleaning charge should be 1/4 of actual.

Only major complaint - place needs a major cleaning. Under beds, couches and overalll should have a thorough vacuuming and scrubbed. Tried to vacuum but not very powerful. Mattresses could use an upgrade. The location was great. Canoe and lots of life jackets. Lots of out door chairs up top and shore line. Clean clear lake, great for swims.

A perfect weekend getaway

We stayed at Ali's beautiful cottage for a girl's getaway weekend. The cottage is lovely, a little rustic but definitely has everything you could need. The lake is stunning, we swam and barbecued and enjoyed a fire under the stars and would climb into the sauna (which does take a while to heat up - about an hour) and just had the most perfect weekend. The only thing item we noticed which we would have loved to have is a ladder for climbing back onto the dock after a swim in lake, but other than that, our stay was perfection!

Great family getaway

This cottage had everything we needed, including lots of rooms and 2 bathrooms so we could all have our own space. Gorgeous lake, clean and very few weeds made for great swimming and paddle boarding. Super quiet area so if you’re looking for tranquility, this is a great option. Very short drive to shops and restaurants in Bancroft. Host was quick to respond and helpful. We would definitely book again. Our kids are 12 and 14 and we all agreed it was our best cottage trip yet! Thanks Ali!
