The Tait Lakehouse Escape

Welcome to The Tait Lakehouse – A Cottage Full of Heart & Adventure

Our family has spent years making memories here—and now we’re so excited to share this special spot with you. Whether you’re looking for a cozy retreat with friends or a fun-filled getaway with the kids, this cottage is set up to give you everything you need. Our hope is that you make loving memories and feel at home the moment you walk in!

Here’s what makes Tait Lakehouse so special:

• 3 Bedrooms – Sleeps everyone comfortably with additional sleeping arrangements in shared spaces if you want to spread out

• Hot Tub – Perfect for relaxing after a day on the lake

• 175’ of Private Waterfront – With a shallow, sandy shoreline ideal for kids

• Dock + Floating Dock with Slide – Swim, sunbathe, or just float the day away

• Kayaks & Pedal Boats – Hop in and explore the lake

• Big Fire Pit – Gather ‘round for stories, s’mores, and good times

• Spacious Deck – Great for BBQs, morning coffee, and lakeside lounging

• Outdoor Dining & Seating – Soak up summer in comfort

• Fully Finished Walk-Out Basement – Extra room for games, naps, or movies

• Four-Season Access – Enjoy lake life all year round!

• Fast & Easy Access – Just off Hwy 62 and minutes from Bancroft

We want you to feel totally at home during your stay—almost everything in the cottage is for your enjoyment! That said, here are a few helpful things to know:

Upstairs Bedroom Closets: These two closets are for family use only and contain personal items. Thanks for leaving them as-is.

Fridge & Freezer: These are all yours! Just please remove any food before you leave.

Condiments & Pantry: Feel free to use what’s there—coffee, tea, spices, oil, etc. We also provide body wash, shampoo, toilet paper, and paper towels to get you started.

Board Games Galore: You’ll find a great selection of board games both upstairs and downstairs—perfect for cozy nights or rainy days!

Basement Fridge: Please keep this one closed—it’s not for guest use.

Under the Deck: Lawn games, kids’ toys, and life jackets live here. Go ahead and use them—just return everything after each use.

Kayaks & Pedal Boats: Have fun on the water! Just remember, it’s at your own risk and life jackets must be worn at all times.

Hot Tub: Clean, maintained, and ready for you to enjoy—year-round!

Winter Guests: The driveway has a slope, so winter tires are a must if it’s snowy. We do our best to keep the upper parking area clear, but due to weather, alternate parking can’t be guaranteed.

Feel free to reach out 24/7 through Air Bnb. The main contact for emergencies is Anna and we will share her phone number the day of check-in. We always do our very best to get back you as quickly as possible!

Please keep in mind that this is our cherished family cottage, filled with years of love and memories. We ask that you treat it with care and respect the house rules—no parties or large gatherings. You’re absolutely welcome to relax, have fun, and enjoy yourself—we just ask that it’s done with kindness and respect for the space, the neighbours, and the peaceful nature of the lake.
