Our family had a wonderful stay. The stunning views are even better than the pictures. The kids loved both the outdoor and indoor activities, with canoeing and local attractions being the highlights for us. Hosts Cindy and Mike were extremely helpful, offering excellent recommendations and exceeding our expectations. The place had a welcoming vibe. Highly recommended—a hidden gem.

Had a great stay at Eva's place. Eva was very responsive in answering us and also very clear with instructions. The house was kept neat and tidy and location was calm and peaceful. When propane has was out, she was kind enough to get a new one as a replacement. Highly recommend for anyone/family for a weekend getaway. Thanks you Eva for letting us stay at your place.

A beautiful get-away in the country! Second time visiting - first for a nearby wedding, and this time to host a visiting chef, and celebrate a birthday! A cozy get-together in a beautiful home and gorgeous surroundings. Couldn’t have been a more perfect venue!

Forest Mills Cabin Retreat

LukeRating, 5 stars7 months ago
The stay was incredible! I would say that the pictures matched, but it was so much more than what we expected. The space was bigger, was really well taken care of, and the owners were amazing people. Even when a minor issue happened, they were right on top of it and it didn't affect our stay in the slightest. I would 100% come back

Jen's place was a perfect venue for a get together with some old friends. We enjoyed the camp fire, sat on the dock, and took a walk on the nice trail that's just a short walk away. The cottage had everything we needed. Thanks for a great weekend!

Relaxing Cottage Getaway, on Beautiful Fraser Lake

ChelseaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Rebecca’s place felt like home away from home as soon as you stepped inside. It had lots of seating and was very comfortable. Even though the lake was still frozen over the grounds were so nice we were able to spend lots of time outside with the dogs. It’s hard to find this level of accommodation that also accepts pets. There were dog beds and gates set up that made having our dogs there easy and safe but no sign of other pets having been there like smell or hair making it ideal for those who aren’t with pets as well. Hot tub was well maintained and gorgeous views! All amenities needed and beautiful bathrooms. Felt like a 5 star hotel with cottage amenities with the layout, items provided and decor. Would 10/10 stay again! Looking forward to heading back when the weather is nice for some time on the lake and in the walkable shoreline! Thanks again Rebecca!

Your guide to Bancroft

All About Bancroft

The small town of Bancroft is on the banks of the York River in Hastings County, Ontario. A popular destination for rock collectors, the town is known for its huge diversity of mineral and rock samples. Every year, the town hosts a Bancroft Gemboree, which attracts rock enthusiasts from around the world.

Bancroft is also an ideal place for exploring the great outdoors, and is home to some spectacular parks and reserves, with beautiful lakes, rivers and streams. Visit Eagle’s Nest Park and hike to the Hawkwatch lookout for spectacular views over Bancroft, or try your hand at fishing on Baptiste Lake. On the western side of the York River you’ll also find the Hastings Heritage Trail, which was once the Central Ontario Railway line. There’s also plenty of art and culture to explore in Bancroft, and this small town has several outdoor murals as well as galleries to choose from.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Bancroft

Bancroft has distinct seasons, but is a lovely place to visit year round. Over summer, many people look for cottages to rent in Bancroft so they can take advantage of the region’s outdoor parks, lakes, and picnic spaces. There are several lakes nearby which offer swimming, and plenty of forest trails to explore. Fall brings sunny skies and milder weather, as well as lower humidity. This is a great time to go hiking or cycling, and especially to visit Eagle’s Nest Park, when the changing colours of the leaves transform the valley. Rainfall is typically at its highest in spring, though this can be an ideal time for exploring town’s murals, galleries, and boutiques. Winter brings cold, snowy weather, and the nearby Provincial Park in the Kawartha Highlands offers cross-country skiing trails.


Top things to do in Bancroft

Baptiste Lake

This large, freshwater lake forms part of a chain of three lakes, including Benoir and Elephant Lakes. Surrounded by towering trees and rocky escarpments, it’s a great spot for boating, as well as fishing, especially for yellow perch, lake herring, pumpkin seed, northern pike and walleye. There is also a designated swimming area where you can cool off over summer.

Art Gallery of Bancroft

Bancroft offers a range of galleries to explore, the largest of which is the Art Gallery of Bancroft, which celebrates and showcases the work of artists and artisans from the town, as well as around rural Ontario. Run entirely by volunteers, this gallery also hosts an opening night for new exhibitions on the last Friday of every month, and a range of art-themed workshops. You can also explore A Place for the Arts, the West Wind Gallery, the Bancroft & Area Art & Craft Guild.

Eagle’s Nest Park

This large national park offers a selection of unique trails, including the Eagle’s Nest trail, which offers an insight into the early Indigenous presence of the area and the land’s unique geology, flora and fauna. The Hawkwatch, a popular destination in the park, offers an incredible view over the River Valley as well as the township of Bancroft. The views into the valley change during the seasons and are particularly impressive during fall.
