About this property

Cozy Hilltop Cabin - 10 minutes to Bancroft

Escape to our 1-bed, 1-bath log cabin 10 minutes from Bancroft on beautiful Lake Baptiste. Ideal for snowmobiling and ice fishing enthusiasts in winter, with trails and lakes nearby and ATVing, hiking, fishing and more during the summer. Boat launch and OFSC trail entrance steps away from property. 100's of ATVing trails to explore. Self-check-in, host on-site. Ample parking for vehicles and toys. Linens and towels included.

Hilltop Cabin is a cozy 420 sq. ft. log cabin situated on our 3.5 acres of property. Cabin includes 1 bedroom with queen size bed as well as a double pull out in the livingroom. Kitchen is fully equipped with all the basics including cooking equipment, spices, coffee, tea, condiments. Private fire pit for all season use. Wood and fresh eggs available for purchase from hosts.

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. You'll likely see our dogs around the property. They're very friendly, but we completely understand that not everyone is comfortable with dogs. If you'd prefer, just let us know and we'll keep them tied up while you're here. To help keep them away from your cabin door, please be sure the deck gate is closed securely whenever you come and go. Chickens are always happy to have visitors as well!

We are always happy to rectify any problems that may arise or accommodate any reasonable requests. Anything we can do to make your stay perfect is what we are here for.

ATV tours available during the summer months at an additional cost. Bring your own ATV and be ready for adventure.

In snowy months, 4x4 or snow tires are recommended as driveway has a long incline however we do our best to keep driveway cleared and salted/sanded.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that our log cabin wasn't the right fit for your stay. During your stay, you did not contact us to let us know there were any concerns or give us the opportunity to address them. Instead, you chose to leave early after expressing concerns of feeling "unsafe" about what you believed were bug bites and after noticing a few dead ants. As this is an authentic log cabin in the woods, occasional insects are a normal part of the environment despite our regular cleaning and preventative pest control. Insect bites are also common when spending several hours outdoors around a campfire in a wooded setting. Unfortunately, several house rules were not followed during your stay. Most concerning was parking on the grassed portion of the backyard on top of the septic bed, despite a large gravelled driveway and clear parking instructions. This could have resulted in significant damage to the septic system. We also noted other house rule violations, which was disappointing. We work hard to provide a clean, comfortable, and authentic cabin experience, and we encourage guests to reach out during their stay if anything isn't meeting their expectations so we have the opportunity to make it right. We wish you all the best in finding accommodations that better suit your travel style.
