Although it was 1/2 hour away from South Baymouth Terminal, it was certainly worth the drive. The location, while remote, was on highway 6 and only a 12 minute drive to Ten Mile Point where there was an amazing view and the items in the trading post were authentic and reasonably priced. Our room was spotless and spacious. I wish we could have stayed longer.

The motel is well maintained, clean, and neatly arranged. The owners, Elizabeth and Nicholas a another Son duo, are the heart and soul of this place and it shows. They are helpful and thoughtful and go above and beyond for their clients. They gave us additional chairs, paper plates, spoons, and other cutlery as a courtesy. Definitely a must stay at Manitoulin.
