Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The location is very picturesque, the grounds are well maintained, the facilities are good and relatively inexpensive but are showing their age. Our room was huge with a great view but lacked a few basics like: facial tissue (had to ask twice); counter space and places to hang things in the bathroom; and there was no security lock on the door to the ground level public deck. The housekeeping was poor: dirty walls by the sink, marks on the tub and when we arrived we had to clean off skid marks under the toilet seat where there shouldn't have been any!

The restaurant seemed popular, but was not open for lunch so we didnt end up eating here. We did have an excellent meal in town, at a place recommended by the staff. The property feels old, but cant complain with how clean it was. And the staff was attentive to all our needs. I would stay here again - its a good start off point for the Cabot Trail.

We were here only one night but very much enjoyed Baddeck and our stay at Silver Dart Lodge. The staff were all extremely helpful and accomodating. We sat in the bar area which had a pleasant view to do some work. I wish there were more time to explore the bikes, trails, etc. I would stay here again.

Beautiful views of the lake, main room was very nice. However, the chalets have no sound attenuation between them. I could hear the family next door, and feel their kangaroo of a child jumping until 10pm and starting again at 6am. The bathroom smelled of urine, it needs updated as does the kitchenette.

Stayed here one night on our leaf peeping trip with our parents. We were pleasantly surprised by this quaint, old-fashioned feeling, “on the old highway” type lodge/hotel. Lovely spacious property, comfy beds, beautiful view, amazing breakfast for a great price, only $18 each for a buffet style breakfast with the best lake view. The ladies at the front desk were very knowledgeable about the town and very friendly. 10/10 would recommend and we’re definitely coming back next year!
