About this house rental
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

We stayed at Sean's family cottage for a weekend to attend a wedding in the area. Sean was responsive to communication, friendly and check in/out was simple.
The cottage was clean as a whistle with very nice decor. It was warm & comfortable on the cool nights. The thermostat was easy to use.
We were a party of four adults but had family dropping in & out who were staying in the area. The kitchen/great room was cozy with a spectacular view of the lake & the perfect spot to gather with friends & family. The kitchen was well stocked & functional. The Weber BBQ was a dream :). The furniture & beds were very nice and comfortable. There was plenty of bedding & towels. There was lots of seating inside & out and the deck was a lovely spot to hang out. The small loft area looking on to the great room would be a hit with small children. The cottage was well set up for children & pets.
The lakefront/dock had a lovely view of the lake with lots of Adirondack chairs. The large open lawn in front of the cottage ( with a trampoline for kids) would be a great spot for kids, and adults, to play. We didn't use the firepit but it was a nice feature with plenty of firewood.
Thanks to Sean & his family for sharing their cottage - it is 5 star for sure!

My husband, out dogs and myself had an absolutely wonderful week at Sean's gorgeous cottage on Diamond Lake! The location and views are fabulous, the cottage is beautiful and comfortable and very centrally located to Bancroft. The lake is clean and quiet and great for swimming. Sean is a super host, very communicative and friendly. We had the best week and will definitely be back!

The listing was amazing! Was able to get up for a weekend in May to celebrate 2 close friends birthdays. The cottage was beautiful with a true northern Canadian feel to it with a lake view you can’t beat. Thank you to Sean for the easy process of booking and for accommodating when the initialed dates booked for were not available. Highly recommend if looking to get out of the city!
