About this property

Scenic Paudash Lake Rental: Comfortable Cottage for Nature Lovers and Adventures

Our lakeside cottage welcomes you to experience the natural beauty of Paudash Lake!

With space for six guests across two comfortable bedrooms and a cozy loft area, it's ideal for family gatherings or friends looking to reconnect.

The loft has become a favorite spot for many guests - with a comfortable futon for sleeping, a smart TV for movie nights, and bean bags perfectly positioned to take in the stunning fall colors through the windows.

You'll find our kitchen ready for cooking with all the essentials you need. Many guests love using our year-round grill for outdoor cooking while enjoying the fresh lake air.

Paudash Lake is a true gem with its crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming and excellent fishing. Our spacious dock includes a dedicated boat slip available until mid October.

Autumn evenings bring a refreshing chill, there's nothing better than gathering around our custom in-ground fire pit. It's become the heart of many memorable nights under the stars for our guests.

In winter, our cottage transforms into a cozy haven for snow enthusiasts. Just minutes from well-maintained snowmobile trails that connect to the larger OFSC trail network, you can ride right from the property.

Spring brings its own magic to Paudash Lake as the ice melts and nature reawakens. Watch for returning wildlife, enjoy the peaceful sounds of the season, and take advantage of early fishing opportunities when the lake is less busy but just as bountiful.

As evenings bring a refreshing chill in autumn and winter, there's nothing better than gathering around our custom in-ground fire pit. It's become the heart of many memorable nights under the stars for our guests.

About the host

Hosted by Jill Elliott

Host profile image
We are the Bartelliotts, a family deeply connected to Paudash Lake. For my husband, this lake holds a lifetime of memories. Now, our own boys eagerly dive into its waters and cast their lines, creating their own summer stories just as they have since they were small.
Our cottage stands as a special place for our family and for those we welcome. More than just a vacation spot, it's a home away from home that we've thoughtfully prepared with all the conveniences you'll need. Simply unpack your bags, stock the pantry, and you're ready to experience the lake—whether that means relaxation, adventure, or finding your perfect balance of both.
We take pride in sharing this piece of Paudash Lake that has meant so much to our family over the years, and we hope you'll enjoy its charm and comfort as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Mineral Capital of Canada
Our cottage sits in what's known as the mineral capital of Canada. The Bancroft area is famous among rock collectors because you can find about 90% of all the world's minerals right here. Whether you're a serious collector or just enjoy finding cool rocks with the kids, there are plenty of spots to explore nearby.
Silent Lake Provincial Park
Just a short drive away, Silent Lake Provincial Park offers beautiful, undeveloped shorelines and clear waters. In winter, the park maintains excellent cross-country ski trails with different difficulty levels. When the snow melts, these same trails become perfect for hiking through the woods and around the lake.
Snowmobile Right From The Property
For snowmobilers, you'll love how easy it is to hit the trails—there's access just 150 feet from our door. The local trail system covers over 300 kilometers, connecting you to the broader OFSC network. Many of our winter guests appreciate being able to start their ride without having to trailer their sleds.
Sir Sam's Ski Hill
About 45 minutes away, Sir Sam's offers downhill skiing and snowboarding for all skill levels. It's a family-friendly hill with reasonable prices and shorter lift lines than you'll find at larger resorts. Many of our guests make day trips there during winter stays.
We chose this location because it offers so much to do year-round. Whether you're interested in outdoor activities, want to hunt for minerals, or simply relax by the water, there's something here that makes each season special.

What makes this property unique

Unlike many seasonal cottages in the area, our Paudash Lake chalet is fully equipped for genuine year-round enjoyment. We've designed it as our family's second home rather than just a summer rental, with heating systems and amenities that truly work across all four seasons.

Our lakefront location offers direct water access with a private dock in summer, but doesn't hibernate in winter. When the lake freezes, you can step right onto the ice for skating or ice fishing, and the snowmobile trail access just 150 feet away means no trailering required.

We've furnished our place with our own family in mind—comfortable beds, a fully functional kitchen and spaces designed for gathering together. The custom in-ground fire pit has become the heart of many family evenings and conversations under the stars.
Perhaps most unique is our location at this special intersection of attractions—Paudash Lake's crystal waters, the mineral-rich Bancroft area, extensive trail systems, and proximity to both Silent Lake Provincial Park and winter sports destinations. Few properties offer such diverse activities across every season.
As a family who uses this property ourselves, we've invested in creating a place where memories are made year after year, not just a place to stay for a night or two.
