About the host
Hosted by Rock Lake House
Christopher and Jannett are a son/mom superhost team. With over 40 years of hospitality/hotel/culinary history, we picked Rock Lake House as our business passion to share the love of welcoming guests and sharing the beautiful nature that surrounds Rock Lake House.
Why they chose this property
L'Amable, ON is just south of Bancroft in a beautiful unspoiled section of the Ontario North. Surrounded by crown land, wild life (deer, turkey, pheasant, bluejays, cardinals, humming birds, chipmuncks, moose, bear, turtles just to name a few), we love the quiet of the non-motorized lake our house is on. Great neighbours, lots of greenery, forests, hiking trails, creeks, and more wildlife.
WIth all this, we are 10 mins to downtown Bancroft for the conveniences and quaint shopping and dining important to our guests.
