Beautiful Large 5bed 4bath Lakehouse in Bancroft

Welcome to Bancroft Shores Lakehouse, a beautiful waterfront retreat in the picturesque town of Bancroft. This spacious 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home features stunning lake views, a fully equipped kitchen, and ample outdoor space. The waterfront is great for kayaking and boating; however, the shoreline is weedy, has a soft bottom, and is not walkable or ideal for swimming from the shore. Note: Rates include Airbnb's service fee (new single-fee pricing), so there's no separate guest fee at checkout
