| We had an amazing weekend at Towering Pines! The cottage is spectacular! The size, the incredible log structure, the windows are all breathtaking on arrival. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the layout is perfect for larger groups. We were a group of 9 and there was plenty of space for sleeping, relaxing and eating, with all the amenities of home.
Lake Lucerne is quiet and beautiful. The water was like glass and the surrounding trees make for a beautiful setting to relax on the dock or enjoy the water. The cottage is close to the town of Bancroft which makes it easy for a quick trip for shopping, dining or exploring.
Can't wait to be back!

| The beautifully decorated and very roomy cottage made our Easter stay, not only enjoyable but also one to be remembered.
The perks we really liked were the cozy blankets, a good selection of books and games and firewood ready for those wonderful fireplaces.
Thank-you for your prompt communication through texts and email. That was much appreciated!

| We have been here so many times but this is the first time since Andrea has been running it. WOW! All of the new furniture and art make it more home like then ever. We have always wanted to sleep in the loft but never found it cozy enough, that has changed. We spent 3 night up there and loved it. I was so happy to have had all the wood there ready for me since I arrived alone and wanted to prepare everything for the other guests. Made it easy for me :). The entire place is spotless! Every guest we bring is speechless because of how big and beautiful the home is. We will of course we back again! Thank you Andrea!

| This was our second New Years weekend at Towering Pines and again it was amazing. The weather was rainy this time but we were warm and cozy inside with 3 fireplaces going. There is enough room for everyone to sit around the table to play games and also quiet corners to curl up with a book. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Andrea and Jason are great hosts to work with!

| This cottage was amazing from the time we walked in and saw how stunning the structure was. Every room was beautiful and comfortable, the kitchen was supplied with everything we needed, the waterfront was just great for little and big kids. We were a group of 18 and it was the perfect place for our gathering. We swam, canoed, paddle boated and had great fun at our campfire. It was beyond our expectations and though it was an expensive weekend for us, it was well worth it for celebrating our 50th anniversary with all our family.
