The apartment was nice and had great views to the lake; the fall colors were amazing at the time of the visit. The place was clean and spacious for 4 people, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom had good water pressure, and the common areas in the place offered different nice activities to enjoy nature and chill (swimming in the lake, kayaking, enjoying a BBQ, the coziness of a firepit and the possibility of seeing Milky Way). We met with the owner on the first night while doing a BBQ in the garden and he was nice and helpful. I would totally stay again in this lodge. Thank you!

In a perfect world we would have liked to have the BBQ on the balcony for an easier access and that the hot tub would be a bit less "exposed" location (it was right at the entrance) so it would be more inviting to get in.

We initially chose Baptiste Lake Lodge as a convenient location, on a lake, close to Bancroft and mineral hunting. What we discovered is that the Lodge is a beautiful, comfortable resort surrounded by friendly, hospitable people (including the neighbors!). The Lodge is right on the lake, on a quiet street with virtually no traffic. The calls of loons are heard early morning and during the absolutely spectacular sun set over the lake. Our accommodations were spacious and comfortable. We used all spaces, including our lovely private deck overlooking the lake. We enjoyed the large back yard a lot, and did get out paddling on beautiful Baptiste Lake. The flowers and gardens around the property are lovely, obviously planted with love and care. The Lodge was well located for us, affording us quick access both north (we visited Algonquin Provincial Park) and to many south, east and west mineral hunting trips. We hope to visit this lodge again! p.s. I loved that the Lodge recycles! So many commercial establishments do not.

Location, size and layout of the unit, and Tim, the caretaker.

The H&V system design s very poor. Cooking smells (bacon on one occasion burnt toast on another) from other parts of the building strongly contaminated the air in the unit we were in (#3). Also, the return plenum in the kitchen area is directly connected the the plenum in the adjacent unit's kitchen resulting in us clearly hearing conversation from that unit ! Finally the is no thermostat in the unit, so we had no control over temperature.

Location is absolutely beautiful and serene and comfortable! The living space is comfortable to just take a load off but you can also relax comfortably down by the water and enjoy amazing views! Having a fridge and oven mean you can easily stop into Bancroft for groceries and food to help save some money, or just enjoy the town itself with bakeries, local and chain restaurants, and beautiful local art. For us, it was also a short ride to Algonquin where we could easily spend a day hiking but have a great space to come back to.

The place is absolutely amazing ! The view of the lake, especially in winter was priceless ! The host greated us and was really nice in explaining to us everything about the facilities etc ... Very easy to find and wonderful if you want some peace and quiet in an stunning location ! Would come back again !

The fridge was making a loud noise that you could hear from the bedroom. The check out was made really clearly to leave by 10am if not you could be charged for the full day which we found a bit arsh, such a lovely place you want to enjoy your morning there!

Sunsets over the frozen lake were beautiful - great view from our windows and balcony. Very cute decor, solid amenities - loved the hot tub and full kitchen. Close enough to Bancroft to easily go out for dinner or do some shopping. Reasonable pricing.

Soundproofing between suites leaves something to be desired - you can hear the exact conversations of your neighbours. Less private than we would have preferred. Also, the showers scream - I don't know how to describe it otherwise: the water or pipes make a shrieking noise, like the shrieking eels in Princess Bride.

Everything was included. The place was very clean and comfy. We were able to bring our dog and we were happy with the view from our balcony. We appreciated that the property owner called us right back as we were locked out of the building by other patrons there so we could not get in. Simply called and he had someone open the door. Says that rarely happens. There are also lots of towels, extra blankets, movies to watch at night on Netflix .

The view was absolutely breathtaking and the space was larger than we anticipated. Having the optional extra bed was amazing, I absolutely slept in the living space to enjoy that sunrise view! It was incredibly clean, the owner was friendly, instructions were clear and easy to follow, havinf access to extra goodies was a bonus! Absolutely planning to come back! Close enough to Algonquin to enjoy a great day trip :)

Nothing that could be controlled! Ie. Mosquitos and flies outside but bugspray still made it a pleasant outdoor experience :)

The property was exactly as advertised, we were still surprised when we walked-in as it felt bigger than what we’d been expected! The place was spotless, well decorated, the mattresses and pillow were so good! Would 100% recommend and go back.

Unit 3’s kitchen is slightly small for 4 people sitting and there’s only two chairs in the kitchen, but it really is being picky. The place was super and it was great to stay there in every aspect.

You access the rooms via passcode and there isn't traditional front desk staff directly on site. Once we understood this it was an amazing experience. Staff is around to shovel and keep the place clean and maintain the property. And the room was perfect - large, clean, well appointed and comfortable. The Murphy bed was perfect. We were initially wondering if the beds would be small as they are described as doubles, but they all honestly felt like Queen size. We would 1005 stay here again.

We never received our passcode by email. But one phone call later, which was immediately picked up, and we were inside in 60 seconds.
