| Regular renters here, usually stay at Barrys Bay Cottage Resort and have stayed at other cottage also. The Paudash Lakehouse is by far the cleanest and largest we have stayed at and it was worth every cent. There was plenty to do, plenty to see, good fishing, large dock, 100's of DVDs, Netflix for guests, a fantastic TV, kitchen has everything you need, all appliences are new, two bathrooms, two fire pits, a seperate bunkhouse, clean grounds, plenty parking, cottage is right beside highway 20 so you have quick acces to Bancroft and Silent Lake for hiking etc. etc. etc. The pictures do not do it justice. We had a great week with great weather. Thanks Barb and Luis.

| We stayed at the Paudash Lakehouse for a weekend in September 2021. It exceeded our expectations. The cottage was very well equipped with all the comforts of home. We really enjoyed the log home feel and relaxing by the fireplace. We particularly enjoyed the canoeing and swimming at the lake. The water was pristine. Barb and Luis were very attentive hosts during our stay. I cant wait to visit again soon.

| We loved staying at Paudash Lake! The cabin is so cozy and has the most stunning fireplace. Even if you don't use it in the summer it creates such a warm atmosphere.
The dock is clean and fully equipped with life jackets, kayaks, and paddles, all in great condition. The lake is a delight!
It's far enough from Bancroft that you're not in town by any means, but you're absolutely close enough to spend a day at the cute stores or mines.
Barb is super helpful, very welcoming, and responds quickly to all your questions.
I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough!
