Our cabin is the only property on a non-motorized lake in Bancroft with a private hiking trail. Peaceful and quiet with no neighbours on the lake, it is perfect for couples celebrating a special occasion. Great for remote workers who need fast wifi (Starlink). Access to a canoe, fishing kayak and a SUP board. Unwind at night with the large 80" projection TV. BBQ with propane and enjoy marshmallows by the fire pit (wood provided). Dog friendly 🐶 Tucked away on a glacier-formed lake, this newly-renovated cabin is equipped with modern amenities. Perfect for those who want to experience nature without compromising comfort. Bug season is happening now through the summer by the lake. Being nestled in nature means more exposure to bugs. They can be especially intense at dawn and dusk. We offer a bug zapper, bug jackets and insect repellent. Privacy and assistance Please note that your hosts live on the property but respect your privacy.
