"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! "

"What a pleasant surprise this was! It has everything to expect in a typical roadside motel but the bathroom has a nice large soaker tub. Everything very clean, the AC works and the restaurant was charming with excellent homemade dishes. There is a lazy river floating by the trimmed backyard grounds. "
