Aurora Bayside Inn

My family and I stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment for a 6 night stay during our trip to Yellowknife. The space was very cozy, clean and very welcoming. Host was extremely friendly and made sure we were well taking care of! The view was exceptional. The Inn was walking distance to great restaurants and amazing shops. There’s even a cute restaurant located below the Inn making it accommodating if not wanting to go out for a nice meal. Thank you for making our first trip to Yellowknife memorable!

First visit to Yellowknife. Absolutely loved this little place. The cabin was cozy and had an amazing view of the lake. Definitely will be recommending to others and will stay again.

An absolute gem! My friend and I stayed in the cabin and had a great first trip to Yellowknife. I say "first trip" because we're already planning to come back as soon as we can but coming back here is a MUST. The cabin was cozy, warm, and comfortable. It was nice to not have to worry so much about being too loud or bothering anyone. We ran in and out of our room a lot whenever the auroras came out or to eat out somewhere as there are a few amazing food spots a short walk away (including the restaurant they have on site, Flamecraft Grill & Chill. You can't beat getting a steak dinner to go, picking it up a few steps away, and dining in your very own cabin watching the auroras dance outside your window). The location is perfect! Close enough to the main city and restaurants/ cafes so you always have places to go, but far enough away that it's very quiet, calm, and dark. The innkeeper, John, was so nice. He came to introduce himself and even came personally to let us know when the northern lights were out. Great Wifi, plenty of amenities, beautiful view at all times (not just when the aurora is out). I already miss it and can't wait to be back!

Great location and beautiful views on Great Slave Lake. Located in the old town of Yellowknife which is very quaint with nice restaurants and shops all within walking distance. John was a super responsive host with recommendations of things to explore in Yellowknife. The Inn was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to feel at home. The beautiful deck was a perfect spot to enjoy our morning coffee and take in the views of the lake. Highly recommend.

Loved the cabin once I got in it. Warm, cozy, clean and inviting. I saw the northern lights right there from the cabin window! The lakeside location is a plus as there are no buildings obstructing your view of the lights.Roku Tv kept me entertained. Could use more detailed info on entering the code for the lock box and signs or better lighting to guide you to cabin. Dont forget to push the biggest button after entering the code. Kitchenette is an over statement, it's actually microwave, kettle and coffe maker...no stove/ burners or pots for cooking.

A girls trip, 4 of us, and we stayed at Bayside in late June and it really must be the best location to experience Old Town Yellowknife....we got to watch the floatplanes take off each day and that was exciting but also enjoyed solitude and splendid water views. We were there during summer solstice and experienced daylight at midnight which took some getting used to but we also participated in the Midnight classic golf tournament which was at midnight!. Very fun! and I Took that off the bucket list. I would imagine that this would be a prime spot for watching the northern lights int he winter. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need, we had the 3 bedroom suite. John the Owner is always around to help with advice on site seeing when he is not tending his garden at midnight. we had amazing fresh trout courtesy of john and Larry. There are great restaurants and gallerys within walking distance but actually a really nice new restaurant right in the Bayside Inn is quite good. You should check out the oldest hardware store in Yellowknife just a few steps away...perhaps the oldest in all of NWT? fully stocked with winterwear, even in summer.! Also i recommend North Air to get to NWT since we got complimentary HOT meals!....bison stew!

Great little place situated right in old yellowknife. It is a great location, just a 1-2 min walk from multiple restaurants and a cafe. Booked the cabin, it was small and quaint but it did the job. It has a bus stop right outside that goes directly to the other side of downtown yellowknife but the walk is only 20 mins with lots of great shops on the way. The innkeeper introduced himself and even came by to let us know when the northern lights were out. Thank you, John, for making our stay in Yellowknife wonderful. We are already looking forward to booking again with Aurora Bayside Inn for our next vacation.
