Cottage vacation rentals in Bancroft

My family and I had a wonderful winter stay at Watersedge Lakehouse. The cottage was beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. Our host made sure we had all we needed and was very helpful with instructions on staying at the cottage , checking in and local recommendations. The main living room was a perfect place to gather and have a warm fire while looking out at the water. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the hot tub and the outdoor fire plus the deer wandering about. It was a great place for relaxing and making memories.

Greg’s place is a perfect cottage: homey enough to feel comfortable yet special enough to feel like a treat. The view out the huge window is a lovely mix of sloped pathway/stairs, trees, lake, island in lake and more lake in the distance. The main room has the most comfortable couch and the 500 movies include something for everyone. We especially loved the wood-fired sauna down by the lake. I hope to stay here again!

We had an amazing winter getaway here with our 3 year old. The place is absolutely beautiful, even better than the photos. The gorgeous windows out to the forest in both the main living space and the upper bedroom were loved by all of us. We saw deer three different times during out 2 night stay! It was very quiet and private, perfect for us to recharge together as a family. The hot tub was a luxurious touch, and sitting in it under the stars during a snowfall was unexpectedly magical. The whole place was incredibly clean, and it had every amenity you could think of. We've done a lot of winter getaways and this may be one of our favourites! We enjoyed the close proximity to the wolf sanctuary and the hiking trails nearby. Thank you for such a lovely stay, hopefully we will be back!

Family and I did a Winter Getaway where we wanted peace and tranquility. Kevin's place is an all year place where you can find what you need or go to any time of the year. For our family it was so beautiful to chill out at the hot tub or playing games looking out on the (frozen) lake. When we first arrived we were greeted by Kevin and the reception we got from him was heartwarming. Kevin is a person who takes pride of his homes. Kevin's images on the website are true and beyond when you are staying there. A hidden gem. Really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return. Sharon H.

Really nice little place. lots to do. ping pong, pool and a hot tub. I definitely took advantage of everything. I wish it was the summer, because it's such a nice spot. The back yard is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this little gem.

Beautiful cottage on the lake with lots of rooms. The view from upstairs watching the sunrise was beautiful despite all the snow!

My family and I and our fur animals really enjoyed our stay at Mac’s Hideaway. Amanda communication was amazing and also provided a late check out. The cottage was so cozy and peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tub and the amenities it had. Even though it was winter we had a nice time. Amanda also had stuff for our fur animals (bowls, treats). Definitely would book again

Kathryn and Lora were exceptional hosts! They went above and beyond.T heir cottage was absolutely pristine. It had everything we needed and was easily one of the most well-equipped cottages I've been to. Especially the little touches like cozy slippers, to hot-tub towels, to spare toothpaste. The cottage felt designed for hosting. It had built-in speakers in the living room, bathroom, and backyard patio, to a built-in projector with Prime and Netflix. The hosts even recorded little instructional YouTube videos on how to operate the projector and sound systems. From start to end, they were communicative, proactive, and responsive. I would highly recommend this cottage, and hope to come back again!

Barry has a nice place with a peaceful and spacious dog park. We had a great time with our dogs—they loved playing in the dog park and enjoyed hiking on the nearby trail. Barry always responds quickly and has simple check-out rules.

Beautiful and peaceful lakeside cottage! We had a great stay. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. It was very spacious and had good amenities.

Everything that we could possibly need was here. We came to the area for snowmobiling and it was beautiful. Easy access to trails, pretty much just at the end of the road. The cottage was clean, fully stocked kitchen pots, pans, Everything. Views were beautiful, neighbors quiet.

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay here. It was truly an escape that we got to experience. Great hosts, great place, great atmosphere! The only knock I think I have is that the photos do not do justice!! This place was homey and beautiful, not to say the photos aren’t that but they don’t do it justice! We will surely be back if we’re in Bancroft again!!

I had an amazing stay at Ke’s property and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway. The place was spotlessly clean and tidy, and I immediately felt at home. The firepit was a wonderful touch, providing a cozy atmosphere for the evenings. As a parent, I was especially pleased that my 1-year-old baby was also very comfortable here. The space was safe and welcoming for our little one, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The scenery around the property is absolutely stunning, adding a peaceful and natural beauty that made our experience even more memorable. Lastly, I can’t say enough about the Shannon’s kindness, quick responses, and hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel truly welcome. I am so grateful for their attentiveness and care throughout our stay. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! I will definitely be returning in the future.

Very responsive host with wonderful accommodations. If you’re looking for a cosy place, with lots of character, and clean then look no further. I’m coming back winter or summer. Lots to do in the area.

South Bay Cottage is truly a perfect and lovely lake getaway. Drive off the main road and into your own private cove outfitted with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Once inside, the view of Lake Stoney can be seen through the large windows from anywhere in the main room. The sunsets and starry skies were so peaceful - and even though locals told us it was unusual - we actual had an amazing view of the Northern Lights! We loved that this cottage included all the linens we needed and lots of areas to get cozy and read a book - including the extra-special gazebo. While the kitchen area is small - it is well equipped with everything we needed. Close to great hikes (Petroglyph Provincial Park, High Falls at Eels Creek, Warsaw Caves, and many others.) Also great to explore the area's great golf courses, Wanderlight Alpaca walks (a must do), Peterborough Pete's hockey, Peterborough theatre, and amazing restaurants in Lakefield (Loon, Cassia, and more). Melissa was a wonderful host!

Laura is definitely a 5 star host she has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Laura responds to questions very quickly and has lots of information about the area and the cottage. I appreciated that she emailed me on a rainy day for things to do. From the time we entered the cottage we felt welcomed with a candle and a s’mores kit which was put to good use. The cottage is very peaceful and well stocked and very comfortable as show in the pictures. The host has thought of all your needs from newspapers to start a fire to coffee . Now make sure you are physically ok to climb stairs as my Apple Watch gave me a new 5 day trend for climbing stairs. However it’s a necessary evil to enjoy the cottage. If you want to relax and enjoy sitting on the dock watching a few ducks and reading a book than this is your place

Our stay was perfect, chalet had everything you could ask for and more! We stayed for work so we didn’t get a chance to go to the beach, or play any of the ample board games, but the kitchen was wonderfully stocked and the shower had great water pressure! Could not have asked for a better stay!

Was very comfortable to stay at Thomas's cottage. We stayed with 4 adults and 4 kids in the winter. The sauna was especially nice. The kitchen was well stocked. Everything worked well and communication was great.

Tammy was the sweetest, most helpful hist to my parents. I booked this place for their 1 year anniversary weekend and they were in love. She left them a cute note and got them a bottle of wine to celebrate. They loved the space so much and felt right at home and didn't want to leave. Tammy thank you SO much for your hospitality and taking such good care of my parents. They will absolutely be back!!

We were there for two nights for a much needed getaway, and even though things didn’t work out the way we thought they would (nothing to do with Lakepoint Cottage Resort) we had an amazing and relaxing weekend. We will definitely be returning.

This spot was great! It was the perfect refuge for a snowstorm. The kitchen was large, the bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathroom was pristine when we arrived. It's a very quiet area in close proximity to Campbellford and loads of conservation areas. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the surrounding forested area, the jacuzzi in very cold weather and cozied up in the living room with Netflix and food when the weather was too cold to venture outside. Parul was a great host, she even went as far as calling a snowplow to clear the driveway for us before we left. She was always ready to answer any questions we might've had and gave clear instructions regarding check-in, check-out and any issues regarding the property. Two big thumbs up! Thank you Parul!

Mihaela's cottage was a lovely little place surrounded by trees. Despite its location deep down the cottage roads, it took less than 15 minutes to drive wherever we needed to go (Buckhorn, Bobcaygeon, Kawartha Highlands Signature Park). The cottage itself was comfortable and clean, but we especially enjoyed the lovely firepit and jacuzzi 😄 Mihaela was also a responsive and understanding host, leaving plenty of clear instructions and responding to questions in record time. Overall we had a great stay and I would happily recommend this cottage to others!

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay during the last week of August! Some of our favourite parts of the place include: the canoes/kayaks that were available to use at our leisure, the check-in process being seamless, the essentials being provided (all kitchen supplies, beach towels, shower supplies), the other amenities (board games, BBQ). The place itself is quite beautiful. The dock with the chairs, the fire pit (even though we did not use) and the solarium were all stunning. I would just mention that it is a bit smaller of a place inside, so did find it a bit cozy and tight in the rooms. Also, the place is supplied with quite a loud window AC so sometimes it would get a bit loud/warm in the place. However, we would still give the place a 5/5 all things considered.

Chantyle's cottage was a great find for our family. While it was basic and nothing fancy but that is just what our family loves. We basically only need a spot to sleep and cook, other then that we are outside enjoying the nature we are surrounded by, and this spot was perfect The beach was perfect for swimming, crystal clear, and shallow so the kids could walk out for quite some distance. On top of the beautiful area and comfortable rustic cabin we were greeted by a very friendly, accommodating, and very helpful campground manager Phil and his wife Tanya. Helped us with things we needed right away and gave us suggestions on places to check out that our kids ended up loving....overall amazing experience thanks for having our family stay it was a great location and great place. friendly seasonal campers as well. our family will definitely be back ?
