Very nice place. My only hiccup was coming back after a long day and the room wasn't made up at all and yet one of the workers signed the book saying it was. The person working the desk was super helpful about it but I never got any apology or even offer of anything for the mistake, which was disappointing. One of the pleasures of going away spending money at a hotel/resort is coming back to a made bed with fresh sheets, clean room, all that stuff I have to do myself at home.

The property was clean, the beds were comfortable. The property was mostly as described, though it lists to accommodate up to 8, there are only 7 actual sleeping places in beds, the 8th spot would be the couch or recliner, all of which are in need of repairs. There was a food and water bowl for our pet, which we found helpful, we kept ours for travelling to visit family. We also had use of the hot tub, which was in good working order, which was not in the listing, also a nice surprise. There are adequate dishes and cutlery for 4, if your group will be more, I would suggest bringing extra dishes, and cutlery. Also, there are no steak knives or cooking/chef knives, so if you're planning on cutting anything other than bread, you'll want to bring your own knives. We gave it a 3 due to maintenance issues which we have reported to the host. Overall, we had a good stay.

We really enjoyed staying at Memories by Baptiste Lake. The property was well maintained and private. Quiet nights by the fire and the hot tub was a lovely addition. Next time we'll try out the pizza oven! Convenient to town and the marina, was a perfect fall getaway.
