It was a great property, host was incredible attentive and responded to any messages very quickly. All rooms had ceiling fans which was a must as it was very hot this week. Would definitely come back

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.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 15, 2025
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed many of the features that make this property so special — from the clean water and sandy beach to the water toys, and the convenience of an on-site washer and dryer and it being so close to Bancroft for all your needs. Many guests find the property very well priced for all that it offers. Tait Lake is indeed a beautiful setting for fishing, swimming, and family fun. We do want to address a few of your comments as they can be quite subjective — many of our guests (including a number of repeat visitors) have found the cabin very comfortable, charming, and well-appointed for a true lakeside getaway. The property is not “overgrown” but intentionally kept in a natural state, as reflected in the listing photos, to preserve the environment, its privacy and wilderness feel. Furniture and mattresses are always a matter of personal preference — what some find too firm, others find just right. That said, we will take another look at the outdoor seating and BBQ to see what may need replacing. As for linens, they are laundered between each stay. Finally, while the cottage is set on a hill (as noted in the listing), many guests appreciate the elevated setting for the peace, privacy, and views it provides. We’re glad you recognized the many positives the property offers, and while some of your concerns reflect individual preference, the owner is always open to feedback to keep improving.
