"Tucked in a sheltered cove and nestled in a soft coniferous forest, the Kenslynne domain hosts a cluster of secluded cottages on the rocky shores of Faraday Lake. Lynne or Glynnis will welcome you like family to stay in one of their beautiful lakeside homes. We stayed in Sharon's Lakeview Cottage, a tiny-home-like experience also known as the "Bunkie". This adorable little cabin does not have all the amenities of the other larger cottages, but is a cozy stay with its loft bed and pull-out loveseat. We walked the short stone path down to the shared dock with laddered steps down to a clear, warm lake every morning, and a few nights as well. The swimming was fabulous, the perfect balance of warm and cool against the hot August weather. The historic downtown of Bancroft is a quick 10 minute drive away, with small local shops and cafés, as well as full grocery shopping. It felt like camping in comfort, cooking local farm produce on our deckside BBQ, and taking meals in the dappled shaded swing seats by the firepit. I'm looking forward to trying the other cottages on future trips! "

"Exactly what to expect for the price of a roadside motel. Clean room and very friendly hard working staff."

"What a great week … as others stated the property exceeded expectations …. Nice and roomy.. Kitchen is super well equipped … checkin was a breeze as door code provided and easy entrance. Master has great view of lake and sunrise… 2 bathrooms with showers is a bonus… water toys and inflatables were great as was the hot tub … lots of comfy chairs on dock and deck…. Screen in room overlooks lake and is excellent for your morning coffee and reading time…Fire pit area is large and roomy and ample wood was provided. The backyard area is nice and flat for your cornhole games and whatever else you need Internet was good and fast and allowed people to work if needed and be on video calls speed was always over 60MBPS All in all an excellent property and we would not hesitate to rebook again This feels like you are borrowing a friends or family members cottage vs a rentalPlease don’t hesitate in booking this property !!!"

"This is a great place to stay!!! We loved our time here. The view, the decor and outside deck were our favourite. We Stayed for 2 nights for the Rock Hound Gemboree and we really loved how close it was to the venue but still far away enough to give a great cottage feel. The lake was so warm and we loved the inflatable kayak! The cottage was exceptionally clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. One thing were didn’t realize was the layout of the rooms - one was located in the lower I guess basement area which could only be accessed outside the cottage and it was very cold and musty. No one used this bed as it was isolated and we were concerned about having to go to the washroom at night. This is not a cottage if you have mobility issues as there is a long walkway to the cottage from where you park and we did notice a loose rock step, also steep steps to get in the front door and although the bunkie is close it’s also a steep hill. The other main rooms and interiors were great as was the bunkie and we all reallly loved how soft all the bedding was!! Oh, please note that at the waste disposal they no longer accept recycling so we had to take that home with us, on a fun note there was a large black bear at the dump!! Overall, we all felt this was a great place to stay and really enjoyed our time. Would definitely recommend to others. We had a great time in a beautiful cottage."

"This cottage was very clean and exactly what was advertised. The host is very responsive. We had a great stay!"

"Beautiful place and delicious breakfast! Will stay again. "

"The space was exactly as advertised. Incredibly well appointed and communication with Sasha very very quick. Our granddaughters love having their own space and declared the pillows the best they've had! The bottled water was one of the many details that were very much appreciated.."
