Very nice BnB, quiet and restful with a pretty well maintained yard with pond. Easy driving access to Bancroft for evening dining options. The breakfast blueberry pancakes and ginger rhubarb jam were both excellent.

This property and the owners are absolute gems. The host was incredibly kind and accommodating when we were running late for check in and still gave us a lovely tour so that we could settle in comfortably. The rooms are beautifully laid out and filled with thoughtful touches. Breakfast was absolutely delicious! If you are lucky enough to get to try Al's blueberry pancakes count your blessing because they are fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future.

A tranquil retreat in the forest
Everything was wonderful - the room and bathroom were bright, clean, and comfortably appointed. I really enjoyed looking out from the room to the beautiful garden full of wildflowers. The property itself is an absolute work of art - the house itself has a unique and noteworthy architecture and construction that was fascinating to learn about. I loved looking out from the wrap-around deck to the peaceful forest pond below and walking around the grounds, enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. I only wish it had been a clear night to see the stars! I was offered a choice of breakfast entrees, and chose an asparagus omelet, which was perfectly prepared by Al. I really enjoyed my stay and plan to return the next time I'm in the area. What a gem of a property and Annette and Al are wonderful hosts.

We were looking at properties in the area and needed a place to stay overnight. Annette and Al were wonderful hosts and gave us the skinny on places to eat and nearby attractions. Not to mention that their property was gorgeous and a real treat to wake up in and go for a meander around the pond with a coffee.

We don't usually stay at a B&B
The Gathering Place was an exception to our normal overnight stays. What a surprise. The room was spotless, the bed was comfortable, my wife says, more comfortable than our bed at home, and the breakfast was delicious, coffee, juice, a bowl of fresh fruit and French toast or blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup, served by Chef AL. Annette was very charming and talented, she is a crafter, quilter, and sewer. My wife, also a professional sewer, and Annette had a good discussion. Next time we are in the area we will definitely stay with Al and Annette
