About this property

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.

Winter Weekend on Diamond Lake

We are a group of friends who have been getting together for canoe trips and winter trips for over 40 years. We are now age 60 plus. We booked this cottage as a central location for our travels. We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the location. The owner, Sean, made sure we had all we needed to make our weekend successful and gave us detailed instructions about the workings of the building and grounds. He was flexible with arrival/departure times and quite accomodating. Communication was great except for one small hiccup on the week of the booking, when an email reply didn't come as expected, but a phone call a couple hours later resolved everything. Our group was impressed with the comfort and functionality the cottage provided for us and the beauty of the location on Diamond Lake.

Lovely fall weekend

We had a great stay at this cottage recently. There is a beautiful view of the lake and lots of fun things for the kiddos to do on the property. We'd go back again!

Amazing stay on Diamond Lake

My husband and I and our pup had an amazing time at Sean's cottage. The settings could not be more beautiful in the fall. Great waterfront property that's a mix between modern and traditional. Sean was easy to reach and really responsive. The kitchen is fully stocked and the bed is comfortable (although we only stayed in the master bed). I don't think the pictures do this place justice. We will be back for sure.

Great Time Had By All

Clean, fancy, great space. Everyone in the party thought it was a good find. We’re planning on booking again. Water toys to explore the lake, water is shallow and nice enough for swimming close to the cottage. Reasonably priced compared to others.

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!!
