About this property

SunSite Estates Waterfront

We invite you to the Island of Manitoulin. Our cottage is available year round, and has all the amenities of home (including even a dishwasher, as well as a washer and dryer).

Located on the tranquil waters of Manitowaning Bay, you will undoubtedly enjoy your stay. The cottage features two bedrooms, the master being especially spacious. We can accommodate up to six guests, with a pull out couch.

The cottage is situate on a road off of Highway 6, about mid-way between South Baymouth (the Ferry terminus) and Little Current (where there is access to the Island by bridge).

Fishing is excellent (pike is plentiful). A world record brown trout was caught in the North Channel last Autumn.

There is a propane barbecue at the disposal of all our guests. TV, VCR and DVD are also available. Guests are kindly asked to bring their own linen. As no smoking is permitted within the cottage.

Championship golf is nearby at Rainbow Ridge (boasting the fastest greens in Northern Ontario).

Local restaurants are great, with many offering the local delicacy of whitefish from Lake Huron (two of our favourites are The Old Schoolhouse in Providence Bay and The Garden’s Gate Restaurant in Tehkummah).

Beautiful island property

We returned to Manitoulin where we honeymooned 50 years ago. The first few days we were on our own and another couple joined us later. Plenty of room and aside from a corkscrew(we left one there) and measuring spoons, we had everything we needed. Lots of wildlife and loved the sound of the waves. Great spot!

Great cottage

Must say, nothing but good comments to make about SunSight Estates Waterfront. Doug was quick to respond to any questions that we had. The cottage was spotless, and looked like it had been professionally renovated recently. Great kitchen, and very spacious throughout the cottage. We would not hesitate for a second to return at a later date and spend another enjoyable week.

This is a beautiful cottage on the lake. The sunrises in the morning are spectacular, and there is a deck where you can sit to relax and listen to the water and birds. The cottage is exceptionally clean and has all the amenities to make your stay comfortable. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for some rest and relaxation!
