Cozy Getaway
Perfect cozy cottage for a group of 4 or 5. We swam off the dock, went fishing and kayaking during the day, and had a nice campfire in the evenings. Located on a beautiful lake!! Highly recommend!

Family getaway
We had an amazing time at The Hideaway this week. Kids went swimming and fishing all day off the dock. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom was clean with a spacious shower. There's a tv that we never used because it was so beautiful outside but wifi worked well. Just a perfect family getway in a beautiful setting.

A wonderful private getaway for family
The Hideaway is a special place to stay that feels like your own! The property was so private, even with neighbours next door, we really felt like we were secluded. The Hideaway is the end lot, so no one else is beside it at the end of the lake - so private and quiet! We could hear and see some boats in the larger part of the lake but no real boat traffic besides a jet ski and a boat from across the lake. We stayed 5 nights and had fires 4 of them. The firepit is by the lake and was perfect for our family, including the dogs. Loved the dock! We used the dock daily for sunbathing, jumping into the lake (no weeds!!), and had our coffee there in the morning. The dogs loved being on it! I was even able to spend time watching a family of 5 loons close to the dock. The rowboat was fun to use and we got a lot of use out of the shared paddleboat to tour around the lake. There were 15 ducks swimming in the waterlilies off the dock, some roads and frogs, and a garter snake. Barely any bugs - never even got out our bug spray. The cottage itself is really great! We had dinners outside on the deck, used the BBQ most days and the oven a couple of times. Everything worked well. The beds were great for all of us. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook basic meals. As for the bathroom, the shower has decent water pressure and the toilet has a confident flush lol We really did love our time here and wouldn't hesitate to book the Hideaway again!

Great Place
This cottage was tucked away in the woods by the river, with a great view. Quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Very pleasant and friendly people. Would definitely go back again. Loved that there was a row boat available for each cottage to use.

Great for a short getaway
Great little cottage for relaxing - the dock and patio are lovely. Owner was very quick and responsive to questions. I was surprised when we arrived to find out that the water is not potable. Not a big deal, but it would have been good to know in advance and avoid the drive back into Bancroft.

Enjoyable stay
We enjoyed our stay at the Hide Away cottage. It was clean, comfortable and a wonderful retreat for our short, 2-night stay. We were bummed to find only a Keurig coffee maker as we had our specialty ground coffee with us so we had to borrow pods from Glynis. We took a lovely morning walk in the woods and enjoyed a perfect, peaceful day on the dock. The water was gorgeous and my son’s first swim in a lake was as memorable as it should be. Our hot water heater stopped working but Glynis got plumbers to come get it back on track right away. We had some concerns with the deck railings which seemed minimally anchored and unfortunately, the BBQ is quite old and does not have any flame control so all our dinners were grilled on the outside and finished in the oven. We enjoyed the fire pit each evening but the uneven, rocky shoreline was somewhat difficult to navigate, especially in the dark. A few small improvements including a new BBQ, solar lighting and a handrail on the staircase would elevate the space and property to match the fabulous dock. Overall we enjoyed our short cottage vacation and we were especially thankful for the beautiful scenery and perfect weather.
