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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Things to do - Kayak - Water sports equipment ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,300 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/80000000/79760000/79759200/79759162/911e3f9b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ultimate Lakeview Cottage Retreat: Hot Tub, Paddle & Play Bancroft - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 29 reviews CA $293 CA $636 total includes taxes & fees Dec 2 - Dec 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=79759162&PinnedHotelID=79759162&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89640000/89633700/89633640/d86e8ade.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront Family Cottage with Private Beach and Hot Tub HERS - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=89633640&PinnedHotelID=89633640&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103700000/103698900/103698876/w924h683x42y0-f46bd2d0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Paudash Lake House Highlands east - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=103698876&PinnedHotelID=103698876&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101250000/101248600/101248502/0c55a63f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tiny Home Bliss Harcourt/Bancroft.
