| Stayed at this beautiful cottage with sisters, daughters, and nieces and we just fell in love with the place. Andrea and Jason keep it clean and tastefully decorated. This was our first fall going to the cottage and weren't disappointed. It rained for most of our stay but we found the cottage roomy with lots of space for everyone to enjoy a little quiet time if needed. Lots of games, books, and movies. We managed a polar dip into the lake at 61 degrees. The lake was like glass and the reflection of the fall colors starting in the trees was beautiful. A lovely lake for some canoeing, and a great campfire pit at the shore as well. Big shout out to Andrea and Jason for this gorgeous, and welcoming cottage. Nancy and family

Also, thank you for the beautiful painted rocks you and your family left for us around Cottage grounds. What a wonderful surprise. I love them! Hope to have you come back again soon. Warmest regards, Andrea & Jason | |

| We had a blast at Towering Pines last weekend. The cabin was very spacious and extremely clean. The property and waterfront were also more then we could ask for. We definitely recommend Towering Pines and will be visiting again soon!

| We stayed at Towering Pines for a relaxing week with friends. We rent a different cottage every year and this was one of our best yet. The property is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful. The lake is perfectly sandy, quiet and peaceful. The canoes and pedal boat were perfect for enjoying the water. The cottage is huge, beautifully decorated and cozy. We really enjoyed the indoor fireplaces when the weather didn't cooperate for us outside. The large dining table was perfect for games and dinners. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed (and then some). The beds were comfortable and there was tons of space for all. Bancroft is close-by which made groceries easy and we enjoyed a meal at the brewpub and a stop at Eagle's Nest (highly recommend both). Andrea and Jason put the guest experience first and were very responsive and helpful both prior to and during our stay. They have truly thought of everything. I would highly recommend the cottage and hope to return one day :)

| Seriously book now. Right now!! The owners are so great. Very responsive and take care of their cottage immaculately!!!
Our first family vacation in over two years(thanks covid and baby) all of our mouths dropped at the gorgeousness of this pristine cottage!
You can enjoy rain or shine and not be disappointed! The covered porch was definitely a favourite for all. The water was crystal clear my 6 year old didn't want to go inside she loved it all. The option of a fire by the beach or close to the cottage was the best! So cozy but tons of space it's huge!!!
We all want to celebrate a cozy thanksgiving here. Its all we could picture when we were there was i bet its even more beautiful in the fall!!!
Can't wait to visit again thanks for everything!
