    We had a fantastic stay at this secluded gem on the west end of Manitoulin. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by nature, with Silver Lake just a short walk away, perfect for getting out on the water. The property was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax indoors. The beds were very comfortable with quality linens, and the kitchen and lounge areas were well-equipped with all the essentials. We especially enjoyed the hot tub under the stars and the fire pit in the evenings. Parking was easy, and the size of the property made the whole place feel like a private retreat. The owners were very responsive during booking and respectful of our privacy throughout the stay. Be sure to make the short 10-minute drive to explore the beautiful south shore and the island’s largest provincial park.

    The property is very secluded and quiet, a beautiful place to star gaze but there is no view of the lake (the lake is across the road, with a small opening only). The coffee maker was extremely slow and the stairs to upstairs have a shallow tread but everything else was great. Lots of amenities, clean and well kept property.

    Fabulous house with everything we needed for our 5 day stay. The premise is lovely as well. Silver lake is a great place to watch sun sets.

    Amazing

    Great experience. We loved visiting Manitoulin and staying at Siver Lake. The eastern part of the island is relaxing. The house was perfect for two families, quite comfortable and nicely decorated. I bother Meng and Mike with various questions and they were super responsive and supportive. We mostly drove around visiting Manitoulin’s main sites but found time to swim at Silver Lake, enjoy the hot tub and the outdoor fire place. Highly recommended!
