Guests enjoy the entire cabin and are welcome to use any of the property other than the immediate area around the main house. We have chickens living on site at the back of the property (no rooster). They are quiet and do not free roam. We also have a super friendly dog who will want to be your best friend but please let us know if anyone in your party is afraid of dogs so we can keep him tethered near the house.

Peaceful Stay

We had a quiet and relaxed stay in this compact but well-equipped cabin. The hosts were welcoming but gave us complete privacy. The half-dozen duck eggs were a lovely surprise welcoming gift that we very much enjoyed.

Great space to enjoy some nature!

I was looking for a space to get out of the city and enjoy some nature. This space was great! The hosts were very gracious and gave me the privacy to unwind from the daily hustle and get some much needed r&r. Thank you!!

My son and I booked a winter weekend getaway here. The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and clean. Our host left a complementary box of treats and slippers for us. Unfortunately, we had to end our stay early because of an incoming ice storm that also affected our home area and would have made travelling dicey. The host was gracious enough to offer a stay at a later date to make up for it. There was a very useful booklet set out for us with information about the town, places to visit, shop, and eat. The host was quick to respond to all our needs. She is polite and courteous. I would go back again.

The cabin has been thoughtfully redecorated and the owners seemed very kind and welcoming. It was a good rustic escape. The 2 ceiling fans provided didn’t quite cut the humid heat, unfortunately, so it was uncomfortable in that way during the daytime but that is to be expected in the hottest part of summer.

I'm glad you both enjoyed your stay. In response to the unprecedented heat we have had so far this summer, we have now added an air conditioner unit.

Great quiet first family trip. The cottage was small - definitely struggled with seating for three of us to eat together- and closer to the main house than I thought, but it was still private and quiet. If you like a firmer pillow, bring one, but if you like fluffy soft clouds they have you covered. My son enjoyed feeding the chickens in the back and loved seeing the dog. We enjoyed fishing just down the street and the host was ever so accommodating with our questions. We left with our son asking if we could stay here for 5 days next time. Sounds perfect, to me.

5 day stay

We were attending the Bancroft Gemboree as vendors and used this property as our home base. The accommodations were suitable for our needs - we were not there during the day and arrived after dark every night. The bed is very comfortable although the bedroom is quite small. The kitchen, bath & livingroom are a good size. The property is about 10 minutes from downtown Bancroft.

I'm so sorry to hear that your stay didn’t fully meet your expectations. We genuinely strive to provide a 5-star experience, and it’s disheartening to know we fell short for you. Our cabin typically receives wonderful reviews, and it would have been helpful to hear from you during your stay so we could have addressed any concerns right away. I’m sure you can appreciate how important it is to have the chance to make things right before receiving feedback. Regarding the bedroom size, we do our best to be clear in the listing photos, which show that the bedroom is cozy. The cabin is only 420 sq.ft., so we've focused on maximizing space in the areas we believe our guests use the most. Once again, I'm sorry that your stay didn’t meet your expectations as much as it has for other guests. Since you mentioned that you mostly used the cabin for sleeping, I'd love to know how we could have made your experience even better.
