Just minutes from charming Bancroft and Hastings Highlands, you’ll have easy access to scenic trails, perfect for kayaking, hiking, or ATV rides. Redmond Bay is a dream for paddling, fishing, and exploring.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
Hot Tub & Lakefront Relaxation
Soak in the hot tub after a day on the lake or unwind by the water on our brand-new dock, which overlooks the peaceful bay. The large back deck, with views of the lake and expansive yard, is perfect for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and birdwatching in this tranquil natural setting.
Ultimate Game Zone
Our game area is packed with fun: enjoy pool, table tennis, foosball, darts, and even axe throwing! Or simply enjoy some boardgames and Xbox instead. Perfect for families or groups looking to relax together with friendly competition.
Nearby Amenities
The cottage is just minutes from groceries, dining, a local brewery, LCBO, dispensaries, galleries, museums, a provincial park, and a nearby golf club.
Campfires & Fishing
Share stories around the fire pit, cast a line from the dock, or try ice fishing in winter. The lake is known for species like Lake Trout, Bass, and Walleye.
Pet-Friendly & Spacious
With a large yard for snow or summer fun, there’s room for pets and outdoor games – from snowmen and snowball fights in winter to catch and campfires in warmer months.
The Cottage Experience
This beautiful lakefront home is cozy, modern, and designed to feel like your own private resort – perfect for all seasons. Whether you’re here to relax, play, or explore, you’ll find every space crafted for comfort and fun.
Main Area
Step out to the deck for BBQs with a view or enjoy a soak in the hot tub. Inside, there’s a spacious dining area, a warm fireplace, a family room with Xbox, Smart TV, and a pool table, all designed for memorable gatherings.
Upper Area
Find two cozy bedrooms, one with a private balcony overlooking the lake, and a full bathroom. The second bedroom offers two single beds, perfect for families or groups.
Lower Area
The ultimate game zone awaits, with a wood-burning fireplace, two additional queen bedrooms, a full bathroom, and games like darts, axe throwing, table tennis, and foosball.
Outdoor Fun for Everyone
Your expansive lakefront yard is perfect for family and friends! Relax by the campfire, paddle around Redmond Bay with our canoe and kayaks, or just kick back on the dock with a good book. The bay’s shallow waters are ideal for paddling and casting a line, with species like Lake Trout, Bass, and Walleye right at your fingertips. While the bay is great for paddling and fishing, it may be too shallow for swimming.
For boating and swimming enthusiasts, several public beaches and boat launches are nearby:
• Herschel Public Beach on Baptiste Lake: A popular spot with a sandy shoreline and clear waters, ideal for swimming, picnicking, and enjoying the day.
• Diamond Lake Beach: Located about 20 minutes west of Bancroft, this beach offers a sandy shoreline and public boat launch, perfect for families.
• Papineau Beach: A quiet, scenic beach with shallow waters, located about 40 minutes away, great for families with small children.
• Hinterland Beach: This secluded beach on Kamaniskeg Lake offers a sandy entry, perfect for a hot summer’s day.
Nearby Adventures Await
Explore Bancroft’s scenic lookouts, hiking trails, ATV paths, and rushing rapids nearby, including Eagles Nest, Papineau Beach, and Egan Chutes Provincial Park. Bancroft itself has a rich history dating back to Ontario’s “gold rush” era, and its heritage as the “Mineral Capital of Canada” makes it a fascinating place to explore. With 36 miles of boating on nearby Baptiste Lake, you’re set for endless exploration on the water.

Perfect location for a snowmobiling long weekend. Direct access to the trails from the back of the property. Host was accommodating to late requests (guest and pet addons).

Excellent place for a fun vacation!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
I had booked this cottage for my son to stay over the weekend with his group of friends to celebrate his birthday. They were 9 and had the best time! The place was clean, full of fun stuff to do, like playing fuss ball and canoeing. There were enough rooms and washrooms for everyone. The host, Mustafa, was amazing. He was quick to answer any questions we had. You will not regret choosing this place
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
We made it work so it wasn't a major issue but were not warned of fridge and freezer not being cold so lost some ice cream bars in the freezer. There was a small freezer there so if host had warned to put frozen products there in first place we wouldn't have had to lose ice cream to learn. The hot tub never shut off nor could we open it entirely because cover too heavy but again made it work as were grateful it worked at all. Some extra communication beforehand would have been nice because if not for my partner knowing to turn off breaker the hot tub would have run the whole time. Although property was as clean as possible there were ants and 2" worm like critters that almost crawled into my stuff (again not the fault of the host but told me maybe cottage life not conducive to me). The washroom that best suited my needs was on the lowest level from where I slept so that was inconvenient and the stairs seemed a little treacherous as I was afraid I might fall if not careful but again made it work. I did like the pool table and the Netflix included to compensate for no cable TV. Also, the kitchen had some extra items not expected like wine vinegar which was a nice surprise.
