| Staying at Towering Pines Cottage Retreat is a dream! My family stayed here prior to Ontario's latest lockdown and it was the perfect getaway from city life and the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day. The owners were so friendly and helpful, answering all the questions I had and ensuring that I had the perfect stay.
Inside, the cottage was spotless, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed (from kitchen essentials to well-stocked bookshelves and games). There were plenty of beds to stretch out on and have our own space, fireplaces and wood stoves to keep toasty in the evening, and an outdoor fire pit we enjoyed roasting marshmallows on.
I actually made a walk-through video of the beautiful cottage here: https://youtu.be/cdl_NChOCF4
In town, people are super friendly. I highly recommend Mama DeLuca's (it's located in the Subway on Hastings St). Great food and great prices!

| This cottage is absolutely amazing. Tons of space for a large group or multiple families. We went in January, the kids loved skating on the lake. The cozy wood stoves were so nice when you came inside from a long day outdoors. Hoping to get in for a summer vacation. Amazing location. Pictures don't even do the cottage or the scenery justice.

| If you want to experience that true Canadian rustic cottage feel, yet still want modern amenities, this is the place for you.
Tucked away near Bancraft on a small lake among a patch of massive pines, you'll find yourself a large beautiful cottage. True log construction, massive stone fireplace, this place is big enough to host *at least* two families.
We stayed for three nights in December, and though the weather did not cooperate, this gave us more then enough time to get a true feel for this place; Result? Thoroughly enjoyed it. The new owners are very responsive, the cabin was very clean and decorated for the season, fully stocked up on firewood.
It does get a lot of use (heavily booked) so the owners are clearly challenged trying to stay on top of the upkeep. The little upkeep issues that we noticed (E.G. Dripping faucet) are very minor and not worth noting in my review as they did not affect our stay at all.
Would definitely recommend and would like to come back in the future.
