"The property was excellent and we had an amazing stay. The only feedback is both car spaces were occupied and we have to park the car quite far away on the second night of the stay. The kitchen stove area was dusty and hadn’t been cleaned properly when we checked in. Other than that we have a wonderful stay."

"We really enjoyed this house. It had beautiful views and had great interior design and furnishings. We had very good communications with the owner. There were 2 flights of stairs - one to get to the entry door and the other to get to the bedrooms that were available for our use. Not so easy with heavy luggage. Overall I would recommend this accommodation."

"Unfortunately we could only spend one night here because we left for Franz Joseph the next morning. But, we were delighted when we arrived and saw this beautiful room…amazing view of the lake with floor to ceiling windows, it had a full kitchen, fireplace, living room and dining area. I could stay there for weeks and be happy. Only one downside is the distance from downtown. We took cabs. But, if you like to walk, it’s a lovely one."

Recent reviews of Drift Bay hotels

5/5 Excellent

"I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience overall! The location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the stay. The highlight of my visit was the breathtaking lake view from the room—absolutely stunning and a true retreat for the senses. The rooms themselves were comfortable, providing a relaxing space to unwind. However, the early morning noise from the trash collection slightly disrupted the tranquility. The hotel’s restaurant also deserves a mention. Both breakfast and dinner were delightful, with a variety of options to satisfy different tastes. The meals were well-prepared and flavorful, making dining at the hotel a memorable experience. Despite the minor noise issue, I highly recommend this hotel for its amazing views, comfort, excellent dining, and service. It’s a great choice for a rejuvenating getaway. "
