We were pleasantly surprised how nice this facility is. Our room had a lake view that was totally awesome. Unfortunately it rained the day we were there but it didn't dampen our experience. After a short road trip to see the Cabot trail, we stayed in our room and enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful view. The room was spacious and very clean. The lodge is short 5 minute drive to Baddeck. Which offers many excellent dining options and is a charming village.

Nous avons été logé dans la section sous-sol, beaucoup d'humidité même s'il y avait 3 déshumidificateurs dans le passage. Notre chambre sentait beaucoup l'humidité. Dans la chambre, il y avait des perce-oreille et des fourmis

The property is in a beautiful location, overlooking the water. The room was very spacious, the bed very comfortable, and there was a large deck off our room that overlooked the lake. It was overcast the night we stayed at the Silver Dart, but on a sunny day the view would be spectacular. I would absolutely stay here again,

Rooms were spacious and clean. Restaurant on site was nice although the breakfast “buffet” was nothing more than what you get from hotels that offer free breakfast. The price was 18.00!! 42.00 for powdered eggs, cereal and a few other items.Not worth the money.

The property is older but super clean and friendly staff. The pool was wonderful after driving the Cabot Trail and we were surprised to find the water warm at 8pm, but it had been 28 degrees all day so I’m sure that helped!

We absolutely loved the private deck that overlooked the Lake! Rooms were older, but well maintained and clean. Surrounding property, landscaping, pool area could all have used some more upkeep, but this is not a big deal. Restaurant staff were exceptionally friendly and food was very good.
