The Bayview Cottage in Gore Bay, Manitoulin Island

Welcome to our Bayview Cottage in Gore Bay on beautiful Manitoulin Island, the largest fresh water island in the world. Our cottage is waterfront and comes with great views of the bay, east bluff and breathtaking sunrises right from the covered front porch or side deck. We have the conveniences of town but sit on a dead end road that leads to a beautiful historic lighthouse. The island has lots to offer and explore as it is home to great hunting, fishing, boating, hiking and swimming. The cottage has a cute cosy rustic feel to it as the entire cottage is wood inside and out with cathedral ceilings and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. It has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and would be a great cottage for a family, romantic getaway for a couple or a relaxing atmosphere for just 1. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need to make your own meals, even waffles:) The common space is a place where you can watch t.v, play games, have a glass of wine in front of the fireplace and have a meal in the dinning area. Outside on the side deck there is a bbq with a picnic table aswell as other seating. The covered front porch is great for watching sunrises and reading. The side yard has room for outside games and fun including horseshoe pits. There is also a canoe on site. If you enjoy walking or biking, continue down the deadend road where it will lead you to a beautiful lighthouse (1.7km), if you decide to go in the other direction (1.2km) you can stop in for a beer at the brewery, grab lunch, take in the marina and yacht club, take the kids to the parks and stroll the boardwalk. Guests have entire access to cottage, property and lake front area. With exceptions of the supply closet in the bedroom and the shed in the yard. I will not be on the island during your stay. I am just a phone call away and will be available to you via phone or txt should you require me. Gore Bay is centrally located on the island along the north channel of lake Huron. It is a beautiful town that is complete with a marina, boardwalk, Janet Head lighthouse and parks that include tennis courts, beach area, splash pad, soccer field and a basket ball court all with views of the bay and east bluff.
