"Staff friendly"

"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 !!!"

"I had such a great time at the cabin! Jenn, the host, was so easy to communicate with and super kind. I was staying in the area for work, but I plan to come back so I can really enjoy all the features of the cabin and the surrounding area! Thank you for such a great stay!"

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

"Booked for a single night on the way through. Deborah was an incredible host and the place is really nice. Relax, have a fire, see some animals. Perfect little stay. "

"Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the property and would definitely consider returning in the winter season. However, we were very surprised to see that the primary bedroom shown in the photos no longer exists. It has been renovated to two bedrooms, and the barn door is no longer there. I was very disappointed. The fact that there were no pictures of the bathroom worried me. The bathroom is okay, especially for a cottage. But the toilet paper is placed on top of a garbage can, instead of mounted. Other finishes in the bathroom are lacking - screws are exposed and trim is damaged. The other inaccuracy is the privacy. It is essentially right on the highway. We could hear cars in the morning while we were sleeping. It wasn't a big deal in the winter, but it was enough that I wouldn't want to be there in summer. Finally, the kitchen is described as well stocked, but is missing some basic essentials that you should expect, like an ice cube tray, measures, and wine glasses. We had to go and buy wine glasses as the only option was very cracked plastic. Now for the good stuff. This cottage was the most immaculately clean property I have rented. I had ZERO concerns in any of the spaces. The common area with the couch and fireplace was spot on. Cozy, comfy and inviting. And the kitchen was a joy to cook in. We would definitely consider returning for a cozy winter retreat. All in all, we really enjoyed it!"
