Vacation rentals with lake access in Central Manitoulin

Christopher’s place is absolutely beautiful. Overlooking Mindemoya Lake, it’s nestled among tall trees and a serene landscape. The entire family are great hosts—very warm and helpful. Aside from the regular hosting essentials, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Greg was especially kind in teaching us how to start a fire for the fire pit, even providing some of their own firewood and fire-starting equipment. They also shared some excellent local recommendations and Sandra gifted our group a lovely children’s book written by Christopher’s wife, which was a thoughtful touch for the kids. One of the unexpected highlights was how incredible the place was at night—perfect for stargazing and astral photography. With minimal light pollution and a clear view of the sky, captured some unforgettable night shots and spent hours just watching the stars. I highly recommend their place as the first one to check if you’re planning a trip to Manitoulin Island.

Blue Baise Cottage is a gem nestled in a peaceful setting that instantly made us feel at home. Just a short walk from the coast, the location is absolutely perfect for both relaxation and adventure. The cottage itself is warm, beautifully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay incredibly comfortable. We left feeling completely satisfied and already thinking of our next visit!!

Serenity on the lake was absolutely beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone. Hillary was very quick to respond and the home and property was clean and stunning! You have all you will need there. We made some beautiful memories with our family and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to rent this place for the weekend!

Jacobs home is beautiful a very nice place to stay thank you for letting us stay

Wilda was a pretty good host. Very pleasant.

We loved Sam’s cottage. The location was great. We enjoyed BBQ at the waterfront. We would definitely come back.

This air bnb was so amazing I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s super clean which is such a plus when staying in an air bnb. They also thought of all the little details. There was sunscreen in the bathrooms, bug spray in the living room, extra chairs, wood and kindling by the fire pit. Don’t even get me started on the location. Absolutely gorgeous. The views are amazing and the water is so nice. If you’re able to, get the loft. It’s beautiful and has another bathroom and full kitchen. If you’re thinking if you should stay here, you should. It’s worth the drive up north questions asked. Thank you for having us!

Very enjoyable stay. Cottage has chic, rustic charm with modern amenities and decor. Gorgeous sunsets on the water. Private, large property. Enjoyed a kayak paddle on clear, refreshing Lake Manitou.

My and I stayed 3-nights at the Mutchmor Lofts - "The Cabin" during the 2nd week of September. The premise is spotless and well-appointed. The cabin is less than a stone-throw away from a beautiful & pristine sandy beach; and because it's the shoulder season, the beach is peaceful and that's exactly what my wife and I are looking for. We were given to understand by the locals that Providence Bay has the best sandy beach for swimming in Manitoulin Island and we agree. The area has an elevated boardwalk to protect the vegetation and the sand dunes; it's well-maintained. While you are taking a leisure stroll on the boardwalk, turn left for a short distance toward a small bridge where the Mindemoya River from Lake Mindenmoya drains into the mouth of bay and, fortunate for us, because September is the salmon spawning season, we came to witness an amazing scene of salmon gathering. We enjoyed our stay at Mutchmor, and we would like to thank Matthew for being just a great host.

A very cozy atmosphere and well designed. It was a home away from home.

We were two retired couples who rented the apartment for 3 nights. Very pleased. Walk-able location in Little Current, on the main street. Great views of waterway, bridge, and sunrise from the comfortable balcony. The apartment was as shown in pictures and as described. Chris was very helpful. Instructions for parking, entrance, and use were clear. With central location and over businesses, over night noise could be an issue. Sound generators were provided in the bedrooms. Beds and linens/blankets were comfortable as were living room furnishings. Loft bedroom wasn't used, note that ceiling height is limited beyond the centre of the room, as in the pictures. Bathroom very nicely renovated, hot water and towels great. Kitchen was well equipped for utensils and pots and pans. Bring you own condiments, spices, and tea/coffee for the kettle and basket coffee maker provided. Note that access stairs are steep and internet was slow. TV not 4K and sometimes had to wait to spool the feed.

Great spot to stay to explore Manitoulin. The location is very central so it's quick to drive to the top spots. Fire pit and beach access at the location is a great perk. Nano is a very friendly and responsive host, helped us with some small issues during our stay.

We were in town for a wedding and needed a spot to stay. Alexandra and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. I would recommend her Airbnb. Thanks again Alex!

The house was amazing. Bigger than we expected. We had lots of room. The kitchen was very well equipped. We did some cooking and some bbqing. The deck was nice to sit out on. It had a very nice view of the water. The location was perfect. Close to the grocery store, the lcbo and the town. We will recommend to anyone travelling in that area. Would stay again if we get back that way👍👍

Steph and Al are wonderful hosts. They are always quick to respond and have tons of information for those new to the island. Their cottage is stunning and incredible. It’s peaceful and exactly as described and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to stay there. We hope to return next year!

We had a lovelytwo night stay at Carolyn's place. It was so peaceful and set in the most beautiful surroundings looking over the lake. Carolyn and Daryl were so welcoming and friendly and left us some delicious cakes that were very welcome after a long drive to get to Kilarney. They were incredibly helpful too when we had an issue with our car. Carolyn gave us some good recommendations for walks and we'd definitely recommend the 5 mile walk to The Crack. Really enjoyed our stay.

The host, Shannon, was responsive and very helpful. The place was peaceful, very clean with lots of space for larger families. Amenities, food and gas are not far. We would recommend this place for an extended stay

This place has the WOW factor when you open the door! It’s beautiful in the pictures…even better in person. The board games were a huge hit with the kids. So was the lake. DO bring water shoes! The lake is a little rocky. The place was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything! Most impressed by the First Aid kit and Costco sized box of bandages (…when you have kids haha!).

The cottage was comfortable, in a good location, and included all the things we needed. We’re a family of four with a teenager and young child. Our youngest was thrilled to find a box of toys to play with, and our eldest loved the lake frontage. I found the kitchen was well-equipped, beds were comfy, and as the summer heat hadn’t yet arrived, Gencay left space heaters for the bedrooms, which kept us plenty warm. Great, relaxing stay overall. We wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

The cottage is beautiful - the pictures don't really do it justice. The view of the lake from the windows is breathtaking! It is well furnished, clean and has everything you need for a great stay. Angie and Dale are very responsive and helpful for anything you need. Definitely a great place to stay in a beautiful area!

Fantastic place. Cassandra has set up a little private paradise. She sent a super helpful welcome pack, the place was easy to find and easy to enter. The house itself was very clean and had alot of amenities to use. Beautiful views. Firepits, sauna, hot tub, kayaks & bbq! Everything you could want in a quiet get away. Very very impressive! 5/5! Id give 6/5 stars if I could. Would recommend to anyone. Will definitely want to stay here again if we come back to Manitoulin

Lovely spot on the water to spend a few days near my hometown, visiting with family and friends. Enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL sunset the first night of our stay that set the mood for a relaxing and quiet few days. Super cozy bed up in the loft, kitchen was well stocked, and we enjoyed our coffee on the back deck overlooking the lake every morning.
