Located on Tait Lake, just a short 10-minute drive from the Town of Bancroft, this charming log cottage boasts expansive decks that offer beautiful views of its spacious lot, which includes an impressive 500 feet of shoreline.



Recently renovated throughout, the cottage features a vaulted ceiling in the open-concept kitchen, dining room, and living room, complete with a cozy gas fireplace and seamless access to the sprawling multi-level decks.

To ensure their safety and well-being, we strongly recommend that children are closely supervised at all times throughout their stay.

Your dog would be fine so long he/she is picked up after, not left alone in the cottage or up on the furniture, and not allowed to bother the neighbours. He/she must also have a flea and tick collar or treatment.



Make unforgettable memories with your loved ones and treat yourself to a wonderful stay in our cottage. We hope you enjoy your stay!

6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Overall it was fine. Not luxury as the listing stated. Positives: Excellent water pressure and lots of hot water. Good little beach for kids, lots of water toys and equipment for various activities. Dock in good condition. Tait Lake was really clean and provided good opportunity for fishing. If you walk along the property line there are lots of frogs for interested kids. Lots of DVDs for adults and older kids some board games. Bring additional DVDs if you have little kids. Working washer and dryer on site. Located only a short drive away from Bancroft. The dump is also close by for garbage disposal. Areas for Improvement: The covered porch was not useable during the rain and leaked quite a bit. 2/3 Queen mattresses are rock hard- felt like we were sleeping on the floor. Single was okay. Couches are well used and sink in the centre. You can hear the traffic from the road when outside or when windows are open. You don’t have a clear view of the lake from anywhere except the dock. The property is somewhat overgrown and unkept. Broken chairs, stained outdoor furniture, etc. BBQ was not in great working condition, only the back section was in working order. Things to note: If you have mobility issues avoid this property. Very steep hill up and down to the lake. Bring additional dish cloths and hand towels for bathroom. Would recommend brining all linens and pillows as the ones supplied are in well used condition. Some looked moldy/stained.
