About this house rental
Welcome to Bancroft Cottage, a charming oasis in the heart of town. Stay in one of the village's original homes, built in 1824 and lovingly restored with modern amenities. From the fully furnished interior to the beautifully landscaped yard and patio, you'll find a relaxing space located within steps of shops, restaurants, the Farmers Market, the TJ Evans Bike trail, and Denison University. Truly the best location in the village!
We offer a unique setting for guests visiting Granville and its surroundings. You can expect a quiet residential neighborhood of historic homes, steps from dining and retail experiences as well as Denison University. The house has 3 upstairs bedrooms as well as a queen sized pull out sofa bed downstairs. 2 of the bedrooms have queen sized beds. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds. Full bathroom is downstairs with a 1/2 bath upstairs. Snuggle up by the fire inside the cottage during colder months, or relax on the patio surrounded by greenery when it's warm. No matter the season or reason, there's something to discover here.
A note about our cleaning protocol:
We employ professional cleaners to ensure a sparkling home for each new booking. We follow Airbnb's professional guidelines, including the following:
1. High-touch surfaces like doorknobs, remotes and light switches are sanitized between bookings.
2. We use cleaners and disinfectants that are approved by global health agencies.
3. Each room is cleaned extensively.
4. Extra cleaning supplies are provided for you, so you can clean as you stay.
5. Protective equipment is worn during cleaning.
Note that the Village of Granville strongly encourages maintaining social distance as well as the wearing of facial coverings in public spaces, including shops and restaurants.
*Small events permitted with permission of host and additional fee. Please contact host for details before booking.
*Beginning in June 2021, the courtyard and barn will be in use as part of a craft cidery. It will be a quiet tasting room/ winery concept. The cottage has its own private space, but the cidery courtyard can be accessed through the back gate if desired. We hope that our guests stop over to say 'hi' and enjoy a local craft cider in the barn or the courtyard. Let us know you’re a guest at the cottage for a free cider tasting flight!
*Chiminea is provided on the back patio. Please bring your own firewood/starters if you'd like to utilize. Thank you!
*1 night stays are welcomed Monday-Thursday. 2 night stays are required for Friday & Saturday bookings**

Yes. We love staying here--home away from home. Perfect location, space, house.

The Historic Cottage in the Heart of the Village is perfectly situated within walking distance of quaint downtown Granville, Denison University, and the old Granville Inn. Our work team appreciated the proximity to the shops and restaurants (Station was EXCELLENT for breakfast - warm, inviting, cheery, fresh, and friendly PLUS great breakfast food and coffee; The Granville Inn WONDERFUL for a light lunch - warm, old-money, classy, historic, delightful, and restful PLUS excellent sandwiches and seasonal salads! Dinner would be great here, too!). The cottage felt very homey - both inside and out; had coffee, tea, spices, and ample plates/flatware/tumblers/pots and pans for a group of six; also provided are rich bed and bath linens, plus bath soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The back patio has a great place to chat and the two living rooms plus kitchen would provide plenty of space for a group of 6-8 to enjoy an evening together. A wonderful gem in the best location!! Highly recommend.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
Thought we booked for 2 nights ( more than a mos. in advance) and then saw it was only 1 night. tried e-mailing to correct..no response, called ...slow response and person who called said they weren't in charge. Unhappy. Place was nice BUT the bedroom with twin beds seems VERY unsafe, stairs on landing etc.
