About this property
Diamond lake waterfront cottage just west of Bancroft
Welcome to our recently renovated cottage. Cate (my wife) stills gives me a hard time about a 3 year renovation after she passingly mentioned a little more space would be nice lol.
Due to busy schedules we haven't used the cottage very much in the fall and winter and thought it might be nice for others to explore the bancroft area we have come to love so much.
Our cottage has an open concept living space with satelite TV, internet, and a gas fireplace. There are 4 bedrooms 1-king bed, 1- queen bed, 2 single beds, and a twin over double bunk. There are 2 bathrooms one with a tub and one with a stand up shower.
The cottage has central heating and has lots to offer for all seasons. There are hiking trails, biking, parks, and other seasonal attractions. Atv'ing, snowmobiling, fishing/ice fishing are also very popular
The town of bancroft is a 15 minute drive and has everything you would need. 2 grocery stores, canadian tire, shoppers drug mart, lots of restaurants.

About the host
Your host
We are a family of 4 living in Brooklin. We have 2 young daughters that are growing up quickly!!! We originally bought the cottage in 2015 and after spending a few years on the lake decided to renovate and create a space for friends and family to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
Why this property? That is a good question.....Since I did most of the work myself I am a bit biased lol. I built the space to be keep a more rustic cottage feel with modern amenities. The waterfront has a nice sandy entry into the lake which is great for little ones. There is no lack of outdoor activities all year round and the scenery is beautiful!!
