Family hotels and homes in Manitowaning

Everything. It was super clean. Elizabeth and her son were fantastic hosts - helpful, accommodating and friendly. The patio area was a gem for evening sunset viewing and morning coffee. They were super helpful with the use of their bbq too. Overall it’s top notch, conveniently located near the highway, but far enough back away from it. The town of Manitowaning is really peaceful, and the beach is a 2min drive from the motel. It is a short drive to Sheguiandah and Little Current as well as South Baymouth (ferry terminal). As a former resident of Little Current, returning home for a visit, I discovered Manitowaning from a new perspective and found it to be an amazing little place to stay. Can’t say enough about the Wayside and the owners.

The rooms were clean and equipped with all a person can need in a short stay. The information about rules, internet, help etc. all was displayed in room at places where it should be. The owner was very friendly and helpful and suggested me some good places to visit. She informed me about a weekly fair which was very good and I bought many reasonable priced beautiful jewelry from there. Don't forget to bargain in local markets. Wonderful place to stay!

This place was really cool, we got it last minute and wow was it fun. It's like a little town with themed accommodations - tipis, a covered wagon, little cabins. We stayed in Pop's Ice Hut. We took a little walk through the forest to see their animals - horses, donkeys, goats, a peacock & more. It has shared bathrooms plus an outhouse which was actually pretty nice! Also an outside covered community kitchen which was awesome and we were able to use up some food we were traveling with. I wish it didn't rain in the morning or we would have spent more time hanging out there. All in all a really neat experience. And our host was super nice.
