I had the birthday cake flavour which was just very refreshing and one scoop was actually 2 scoops. Amazing! Cottage country at it's finest!

The location on Baptiste Lake is perfect…read more We spent almost every day relaxing by (or in) the water, it was definitely a great get-away vacation! If you're into canoeing, fishing, boating, etc.. Baptiste Lake is perfect. Also, Algonquin Park is only an hours drive away and you can experience all that is has to offer! The renovated cottages have been fixed up great, and provide a rustic feel. Comfortable beds, and screened in breezeways to keep you away from the bugs but still feel like the outdoors! Overall, I would highly recommend Belcast Cottages and can't wait to go back!!

Dave Koch, owner of this company has NO consideration for the cottage renters. He has no…read moreinformation on what supplies the cottage owners provide and will not ask them or provide a phone number for owners. Each year I bring about 15-20 things that i needn't have packed, as if there isn't enought to pack when going to a cottage. Last year I nearly packed up my whole house and needed none of what I brought except clothes. The owners provided everything a guest could need - very gracious- His directions to that cottage added an extra 30 minutes on to the trip which weren't necessary. His unprofessionalism is epic. If he doesn't want to deal with your questions, he just ignores you, regardless of how many times you contact him. This, needless to say, will be our last time using his rental company. His latest money grab is $175.00 for a week of insurance which only covers $2500 worth of damage. lol really? Add to that another $100 processing fee. It costs a lot of money to go to a cottage for a week and I sincerely think the experience of the renter should be considered, not just the pocketbook of Dave Koch and his cottage owners. Now brace yourself for his reply. He will say he has no record of us renting from him. Standard reply to a bad review. There were 9 of us who can verify we were there. Dave Koch provides a shameful lack of consideration for the people (renters) he needs to run his business. Disgusted

Booked a winter weekend family getaway, hoping to enjoy some snowshoeing, hiking and the frozen…read morelake for some skating, but there was no common lake access or signage to show where to go and felt if I did venture between the lakefront cottages, that I would be intruding on others privacy. The cottage decor was nicely updated with new finishes with basic (and I mean BASIC) amenities however this could not make up for the beds being as stiff as sleeping on plywood and the lack of having a warm blanket. Not providing more than one roll of toilet paper, dishcloth, dish towel, very little dish soap, hooks for towels to hang up, a wobbly coat rack, a broken outdoor first step, or even a snow shovel left a sour taste in our mouths. We will not be returning, wi there or summer.

Well beside that owner tried to scam my friend damaging boat engine which eventually had an issue…read moreand we reported right away but "mechanic" from hill billy town said that's okay I had a great time and I loved nature. Lake is few steps away from actual house and I did not expect a lot for a 3 bedroom place for 6 people at 120$ per night. There were not to many youngsters so it wasn't load only last day some teenagers came with no girls and started to make some noises. Fishing is great but be aware it mostly shallow and you can damage your boat. If you expect some visitors please be ready to see an owner asking you to pay extra $$$. So to finish with I won't go there again only because of sneaky owner and some mechanics who tried to get some extra cash for broke a** engine which is probably older than I am.

You might rent a boat and panton for a fair price. Convenience store is on the corner. Cities and grocery store is in decent distance. You might need to book in advance since it's pretty busy all the time. Here is not a long of young people around. If you are looking to spend your weekend out of town within 150km distance this is would be definitely place for you to check. Enjoy!

Awesome family fun for everyone!…read more West bay is the best kept secret in North-Eastern Ontario! If you are looking for a quick and easy get away without the hassle of packing your whole kitchen, I would highly recommend this resort. The accommodations are lovely and rustic. You are provided with everything you need as far as utensils and kitchen supplies, but the owners still let it be known numerous times that if we needed anything at all to let them know. They were beyond accommodating, and a real pleasure to deal with. This was our first time coming to West bay, and I have already booked for two more weekends this season. The cabin was adorable, and just what we needed. The cabins are dated, but definitely part of their charm. If you are looking for brand new state of the art cottage then you should check out the Hilton Hotels... However if interested in spending copious amounts of time outdoors enjoying a beautiful quiet lake, Spotless beach with safe water access, awesome hiking trails, and star filled nights.. I couldn't recommend any better place. 10 STARS!
