Welcome Back

We are humbled and excited to be the next stewards of historic Bala Bay Inn. Built in the early 1900’s the hotel opened it’s doors to guests in the summer of 1910 under the name swastika hotel, once a symbol of fortune and luck the hotel was renamed / rebranded with the misappropriation of the symbol in WWII. Since then, it has been the Bala Bay Inn, Bala Bay Lodge, Cranberry Inn, Bala Bay Hostel and is now resuming it’s affectional referral as The Inn. The Bala Bay Inn that is!

Hop on down the rabbit hole for history and lore of the Lodge on Bala Bay.
It’s fascinating.
