This place is a destination in itself. Its tastefully decorated. There is a large book and games collection which our group(with 2 young kids) enjoyed a lot. Darryl and Louisa were friendly and responded promptly. Sunrise on the lake is just beautiful! The path to the lake and the lake itself is just so scenic. Proximity to Bancroft downtown is a huge plus, easy to load up on supplies and many restaurant options. Bbq, campfire, kayaking, star gazing, bird watching all on site. ##### sukanya r.
