Very accomodating and a lovely motel, it’s very quiet , clean , with great views from upstairs. Only a 2 minute walk to the lake front. Thanks to the hosts who are lovely and made it an enjoyable stay. Highly recommend this motel to all 😀😀😀
Really nice stay in family 2 bedroom unit. Great view from deck. Great amenities and easy checkin. The second bedroom didn’t have air conditioning so it got warm with door close. Also, since 2nd floor we needed to carry luggage up stairs. Maybe a problem for some. Overall great stay.
My recent stay at Baycrest was a serene retreat into nature. Tucked away in a picturesque setting, the lodge offered a perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. The cozy rooms, friendly staff, and breathtaking views made for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful getaway. Will definitely be returning
