Bed and Breakfast Bayside Bed & Breakfast

3505 McDonald Drive, X1A 2H2 Yellowknife, Canada –

Lock in a great price for Bayside Bed & Breakfast – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

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!

The owner was very accommodating and made sure all our needs were met. The breakfast was excellent and quickly prepared. The location was quiet and you could see the house boats from the dock.

The location can't be beat, in Old Town, close to the water, and offering a fantastic breakfast. The char eggs benny were fantastic.

Excellent food, comfy bed, charming and warm room. Outstanding opportunity to see the Northern Lights without leaving the property. Helpful host and staff. Lovely shared sitting room with beverages, fridge and microwave. Great location lakeside.

The owners, John and Debbie are attentive to details and they ensure their guests are comfortable and want for nothing. Will happily recommend and stay again!

Kim, United States of America

Wonderful stay at the Bayside. All staff were friendly and helpful, WiFi in the cabin didn't work at first but it was soon sorted out. There was a bike rental shop right across the road, nice way to explore the old town. Amazing breakfast served at the Dancing Moose Cafe. We had a relaxing time sitting at the floating dock watching float planes take off. Best thing was, we got to see dancing aurora right outside our cabin / at the shared lounge!

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!
