Host was very welcoming and the home is well-stocked with everything you need. Beautiful location for a winter or summer get-a-way.

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.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
There was some confusion on pets, it said it was pet-friendly, but when in contact with owner, she said that the pets needed to be registered beforehand. I did not see that option on Expedia when booking the site
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
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.
