Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands

We were on Manitoulin Island for a Celebration of Life Ceremony, and while we flew in from Victoria, BC, we had friends and relatives driving to the Island from all over Ontario and most stayed at the nearby Hotel. Inessa's place was perfect for hosting the family and friends after the ceremony--plenty of room for everyone, a nice fire pit in the front yard for the evening, plenty of seating in the main living room and adjoining dining area. Everyone was impressed with the place, and asked for more information. I spent several summers on the Island as a child at my grandfather's cottage on Lake Mindemoya, and at my great uncles' farms nearby. Even though the area had changed a bit since I was last there, it felt very much like home to me, and even more so having a fantastic place to stay for a few days after and to explore the Island. Inessa responded to all my questions in a timely manner, was always friendly and accommodating--couldn't ask for a better place!

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.

We absolutely loved our stay! The home was cozy, clean, and perfectly located for exploring Manitoulin. Every morning and evening, we walked our dogs in the beautiful field out back. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook great meals, and Irene was a kind, responsive, and thoughtful host. This was the perfect home base for our hikes and adventures around the island. My friend and I (and our dogs!) would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great few days at Marilee's place. Ideal location, easy to explore Little Current area and wider Manitoulin Island. Everything was as described and matched the photos. Plenty of space and garden was nice to sit out and relax...and talk to the chickens! Marilee was very easy to communicate with and was always responsive.

I booked Diane's Airbnb for a crew of my workers. It is a beautiful place, with a lot of space for multiple people, many different accommodations, and overall a clean, neat, and organized space. This was located near our work site which was ideal, but Diane made the experience so much better. She is very kind, responsive, and willing to help which was a huge benefit since I wasn't physically there with my crew. I would strongly recommend anyone to stay with Diane and communicate with her about any questions, comments, or concerns you may have because she is beyond willing to help you and make you feel more comfortable. I rate this experience 11/10!!

Joyce and Mike are absolutely amazing, very professional , friendly . They go over and above to make sure you have everything . The place is very clean, spotless. Everything in there is beautiful, pottery cups, glassware. The deck is fabulous with the water view . We cannot wait to back . It’s breathtaking. Jay and Nikki

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!

Perfect spot!walking distance to everything. Host promptly answer when needed.

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.

Frank’s place was the perfect lakeside retreat for us as a couple. The home was spacious, peaceful, and incredibly comfortable—ideal for relaxing and unwinding together. Frank was a wonderful host—welcoming and always available if we needed anything. The location was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views. We would absolutely love to return!

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!

Plan to not want to get out of bed! It’s so comfortable and the bedding is excellent. The bedroom is dark and quiet. Kristina and Sophie have thought of everything. Every kitchen appliance you could need, housecoats, games and even mosquito coils so you can enjoy the backyard.

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👍👍

Thank you Jewel for allowing us to enjoy some peace and quiet in your beautiful home. She was very welcoming, making sure we felt right at home. The location was great, perfect for exploring the area; this gorgeous place is steps away from the water, we took the paddle boat for a trip along the water front, so fun on the sunset and in the evening we had an amazing bonfire. Also she has an adorable dog Sailor Moon, so cute. Highly recommended staying here!!

Had a great couple of days stay at Sue's place. Our dog enjoyed the beach that is so close to this place (3-4 minutes walking). Bathroom was clean and a full kitchen is available for use. Massive massive TV! All in all, up to expectations in all ways. Thanks, Sue!
