Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bancroft

This place was absolutely beautiful, it had the perfect name of “watersedge” when inside it really does feel like your just above the water, plenty of room for our guests, everyone enjoyed the space, I would definitely airbnb this location again! Joanne was extremely friendly, helpful and very detail oriented! Highly recommend!!

Sasha was a wonderful host. The breakfasts that were included were delicious . The setting was tranquil and we enjoyed the nature around us. The place and linens were very clean and comfortable.

Our stay at Dave and Bonnie's home was amazing! There was a lot of stuff to do at home itself including hot tub, sauna, jacuzzi, TV etc. They also provide kayaks and bicycles to make the experience more memorable. We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they had put up a mini decor for us 😇 All parts of home also had mini notes to help guide you with the small details. Places to eat at walking distance. Dave was super responsive and very kind to us during the trip. Book this place without hesitation!

It was another enjoyable stay. This is our second time staying at Micheal’s listing here in Norland. The scenery is beautiful and we enjoyed all the amenities. Thanks again for the relaxing getaway :)

This was our third year staying at Paul’s beautiful spot on the river. As a group of seven seniors this spot is extremely suitable for our needs to be on one level. A perfect place for a larger group. Thank you Paul for letting us enjoy your clean, easily accessible home for our holidays. Hopefully see you next year.

The photos don’t do this cottage justice! It is so lovely and homey, we loved spending our long weekend there!! The cottage’s kitchen is well equipped and there is even a desk and monitor upstairs which is a good set up for someone to work from the cottage. We would definitely come back!

Victoria was very accommodating with our parking needs. We stayed with her while participating in the 1st annual ATV Ride for Dad. We had a large trailer with 4 ATV’s and no issues with parking unloading and loading. We ordered breakfast for the first morning; having nice hot breakfast we didn’t have to make ourselves was nice. The glass bottled water was a nice touch and appreciated. Hot days didn’t allow us to use the hot tub but it was there if we wanted. Although it was hot outside the space we stayed in wasn’t terrible, even without AC, at least at night when we were there. The fans in the bedrooms were put to good use while we slept. Not sure how it was during the day though since we weren’t around. If we are ever in Tweed again, Victoria’s space will stay on our list.

We had a great stay at Carola's. Large house, large rooms and wonderful flower garden.

We had an absolutely magical stay at this lakeside cottage! The attention to detail in the space was remarkable, with every corner thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it a joy to cook meals, and the wood-burning fireplace added the perfect cozy touch for our winter evenings. The views were breathtaking—each window felt like looking at a postcard, with stunning vistas of the lake and surrounding nature. Laura's hospitality truly stood out; she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The location is unbeatable. Being just a short drive to Algonquin Park allowed us to enjoy some fantastic hikes with our dog and we loved returning to the peaceful setting of the cottage afterward. This cottage is a gem, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway or a cozy work-from-home option.

One of the best cottage experiences we’ve had! The place is so cozy and comfortable. An actual lived in vibe. Right on the lake and so gorgeous. My family and I had a wonderful time. Christine was an amazing host! Thanks so so much! Can’t wait to be back

Beautiful place! Can’t wait to return. The fishing is fantastic here! Thank you so much Stephanie you are a fantastic host !!!

Our second stay at Nicks retreat, just as great as the first time! 40 mins drive to Algonquin park, cute bakery and shops in maynooth and a large yard for a full game of football

We had a great time with our families during the May long weekend. The location is very beautiful and a rare find.. The theme is well laid out and rooms are in excellent condition 👍🏼 Would definitely love to visit again.

We stayed at Shireen's cottage for an annual family get together and it was absolutely perfect! The cottage was even more beautiful than the photos listed. We were a group of three families with toddlers and each level had a space that accommodated us quite well! The outdoor space was spectacular - with two separate docks, one with a very kid friendly step ladder into very clean and shallow water. the only tip we would have for renter's would be to bring tin foil/ ziplocks or seran wrap - we forgot that but everything else was provided! truly perfect stay!

This place was a great size for our group of 10 and had a very spacious and comfortable main room where we could all gather to eat, play games and relax. The sauna is a nice feature as well. The kitchen was very well equipped. Kersti and her co-hosts were very responsive, accomodating and helpful.

This cabin at Forest Mills is perfect for a solo peaceful retreat. The bush setting creates a calming atmosphere where nature is ever-present. Inside the cabin is clean, modern and well equiped for a comfy stay. Inspired by this environment, I focused on art projects and personal growth. Daryl and Karen were available when I needed guidance, such as how to start the fireplace, while also respectful of my need for privacy. I look forward to return to the Forest Mills cabin in the future - it truly is a special place.

Natalia and Evgeney were great hosts. They were both very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. Check-in was flexible and easy thanks to Evgeney, who did a great job at setting us up with our cabin. The cabin itself was exactly as advertised. We found it to be very clean. The view of Rice Lake from our cabin was great, and the area is really peaceful and quiet. Overall, we had a great time here! It was a perfect relaxing weekend.

Margaret seemed very nice, she left croissants in the kitchen for us to have in the morning. Overall a very cozy spot to stay and we had no issues. One thing I noticed is that there's an adjoining door that connects from her side of the building to ours and I'm not sure if it locks, maybe it does but I didn't see a lock option on my side. Anyway it still felt private and we definitely got what we paid for.

Cute cottage with great amenities and host

We were celebrating my husband’s 65th birthday with our children and grandchildren. It was a lovely weekend being together in beautiful surroundings. We loved eating our meals in the outdoor room and being able to enjoy the view and sitting by the fire every night. There is a pool that isn’t heated so it was cold but I’m sure with the hot weather approaching it will heat up nicely.

Awesome stay! Scott was easy to communicate with and it was clean and as described

wonderful hosts who will help to solve any question in a short time, beautiful and clean accommodation that corresponds to the photo, we will be happy to return here again

We had a great time Gord’s place!The cabin is spacious, cozy, and functional with a fully equipped kitchen and two full bathrooms. Great location with easy access to the pool and a beautiful view of the lake where you can enjoy stunning sunsets right from the deck. The grounds are meticulously maintained with beautiful flowerbeds and ample lakeshore space, very quiet,creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Gord and his family are exceptional hosts—friendly, respectful, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Gord even offered a flexible check-in time and provided two heaters for a couple of chilly nights. His local recommendations for nearby attractions were also greatly appreciated. Additionally, their thoughtful gesture of providing a play kitchen structure with toys made our toddler incredibly happy. We highly recommend Gord’s place to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. Thank you for a memorable stay—we look forward to returning!

This place was beautiful and homey! Honestly, the upper floor was much bigger than we expected and very clean. The bathrooms were all renovated and looked beautiful. The space was nice and kitchen was very pristine. The pool area was enjoyable and pond was nice to boat in. Would recommend this place for a nice family cottage trip :)
