Lock in a great price for Bayside Bed & Breakfast – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

the breakfast was brilliant!! it is like a dream that you can watch the aurora light all night just on the balcony of the property. I like here so much that if I visit Yellowknife again, I must stay here again.

Chun-fang, Taiwan

A bit shabby, sharing bathroom,not ideal,and the rooms small The owners and staff are lovely,the breakfasts are excellent. But for the price,there is bound to be some hiccups. All in all worth the money.

Denise, New Zealand

It was really great!! The location eas perfect for me. If you want to see northern lights, Here is the perfect place to stay. And the breakfast is also really good. Many people come here(Dancing moose cafe) to have their meal, but we can have those as free! And the owner is really kind of everything! It was really perfect place for me. Thanks for everything!

지예, South Korea

Great location, glorious view of the lake from the lounge, viewed the Aurora from the lounge and deck. Easy access to walk to the lake, convenient location in Old Town. Fabulous breakfast in Dancing Moose Cafe.

Kam, Canada

Beautiful lounge common area to look out on the lake! Comfy beds and the breakfast that is included is to die for.

Kelsey, Canada

It’s far from downtown, but good location near by Great Slave Lake, there would be a beautiful sight view all day. The room was big, clean, containing lots of stuff: microwave, fridge and coffee machine. Also I like the brunch, they were cute and tasty. Stuffs were very friendly, I liked to talk with them, and they let us stay after we check out and wait for the airport shuttle, while the owner provided candy and water, I appreciated! Thanks and happy new year to John and his family!

An Inside Look at Bayside Bed & Breakfast

Located on the shore of Great Slave Lake, the 5th largest in North America, and a short walk from Pilots Monument, where a great panorama of the city can be enjoyed. Unlike most Bed & Breakfasts, a small licensed cafe, located on the first floor and open to the public, is a part of the experience. In the summertime, we provide maximum potential exposure to the comfort of the midnight sun with an expansive upper deck - open to all guests, a generously sized lower deck - for Northern Skies room guests and a deck adjoined to the cafe. In addition, we offer a floating dock, where you can fish or relax in the summer, or year-round, take a advantage of Rylo Hoovercraft tours - the only hovercraft in town. We have a great expanse of sky viewable from our guest lounge - great year round, but especially for fall and winter aurora tourists!

We saw the northern lights from the second floor porch and the backyard. Breakfast and lunch is good. There is a bus stop in front of the property. It is close to the pilots monument, Bullock’s Bistro, and NWT brewery. We had a 6am departure and John provided us a packed breakfast the night before.

“Wonderful B&B for a little getaway”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Cabin with Shared Bathroom (pet friendly)
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Some people might not like that the shower is separate. If that’s an issue, then you can book one of the rooms in the main building. The cabin is only a few steps away from the main building (the cafe, shower, and lounge). We thought it was worth it for the privacy, peace and quiet, and the views.
The hosts and staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast at the Dancing Moose was delicious (waffles, eggs Benedict, French toast). We didn’t rent a car but didn’t need to. The B&B is in a convenient location and we just walked everywhere. Only needed to take the taxi to/from the airport (~$20 each way). Appreciated being able to stay in the lounge after checkout (while waiting for late departure).
