This is the second time we've stayed here, passing through Manitoulin. Rooms are comfortable &…read morewell-appointed, and Brenda & Jose are very welcoming. It couldn't be more convenient for the ferry, but also feels like you're still in the country, rather than the tourist part of town. Definitely also check out the Gallery. I again found some really unusual gifts. My husband loved the firepit! They used to do breakfast; not sure if they don't any more or it was that we were post-Labor Day.

I love this place. Manitoulin Island is magical, and part of that magic is having small towns like…read moreGore Bay, and beautiful places to stay in like the Inn at Gore Bay. The straightforward name of this inn says it all: it strips away all the distractions to focus you on how peaceful and beautiful this town is. Rooms: There are 10 rooms in this 2 storey inn (5 on each floor). The rooms are clean and immaculately designed (great local art). The beds are really comfortable, with plump comforters and fluffy pillows. The bathroom is modern, with good water pressure. The room is also well furnished, with a tv, mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave, and toaster oven. Wifi is strong enough, which is an essential since phone signal on the island isn't always the best. Oh, and my wife lived in the bathrobe they provided the whole time we were there since she said it was spa-like haha! Finally, whichever room you book has a view of the water, which allows you to watch the sunset from the comforts of your bed. Second floor rooms give you a further view of the harbour and town from the balcony, while first floor rooms allow you to walk out to the edge of the water. Either way, the rooms at the Inn at Gore Bay are a definite winner! "Amenities": There's a restaurant right by the inn called 1890. It's helmed by chef Alberto, who studied at the George Brown culinary school, and it shows as his dishes are really tasty (albeit a bit pricey). Other than the restaurant, there's a good hiking trail a couple of minutes away, which leads you to the main lookout point in the whole Gore Bay (East Bluff Lookout). There aren't other amenities like gyms and pools and all that, but you really don't need those because of all the natural surroundings and activities you can do. I came here during fall, so not sure if they offer summer/winter activities. Location: As mentioned, located right at the edge of the harbour/lake, so that in itself is fantastic. It's also steps away from a beautiful boardwalk that leads you to a park (fully equipped with a children's playground, basketball and tennis courts). Finally, it's also a 5 minute walk away from the main street of Gore Bay which has cute little shops, restaurants, a grocery, bank, library, etc. Service: Tammy and her team are top notch. During the time of covid, they provided seamless service to ensure our safety (self check-in/out, basic cleaning like changing of towels/sheets as requested and taking out the trash to minimize contact, delivering the complimentary breakfast the night before, etc). Tammy was also very quick to respond via text to any questions/concerns that we had. And the one time we did actually see her in person, she was friendly, had such a great energy, and clearly loved the island. Overall: Highly recommend staying here if you visit Manitoulin. It will definitely make you fall in love with the island and the friendly people in it.

Gore Bay is absolutely charming in the fall. Warm and quick service by Tammy and team from check-in, dinner reservation and coordinating contact less breakfast and room supplies. I appreciated all there efforts to make us as comfortable and safe during covid pandemic. Room was well stocked with supplies and amenities. Very thoughtfully renovated and has touches of local art. Had my best night sleep in ages as bedding was so comfortable. Loved the linens and bathrobe from local store Linen and Lavander. Had 2 dinner reservations at 1890 Restaurant. Enjoyed the menu choices presented by Alberto. Alberto and Tammy certainly know how to manage a boutique hotel and restaurant! (will post my restaurant review separately) Manitoulin Island was magical and a lot of best impressions were of Inn at Gore Bay. Planning to return next summer! Highly recommended

From the minute we walked in and were greeted by Shirin, the owner, it felt as though we were a part of someone's home and were welcomed and we cozied in immediately thanks to her big smile and warm enthusiasm. The prime rib that was prepared by the chef, Bob, who is the owner and husband of wonderful hostess Shirin was the best beef I have ever tasted in my life! It simply melted in your mouth, it was cooked to absolute perfection and the most tender meat you can imagine. Served alongside was a delicious fresh creamed horseradish sauce, decadent new potatoes mashed with fresh garlic and steamed garden vegetables. Of course there were delicacies of appetizers and a beautiful ceasar salad, etc. Wonderful chocolate cake with a maple and orange peel glaze filling and goodies that I can go on about.... The service and the food are simply outstanding!! And so although this restaurant is a little out of the way and you are best to have reservations because there is limited seating but it is so absolutely worth the drive! You will think you are in heaven ... and the views are spectacular also!! I did not even get to mention how spectacular the views and location is.... You must go here!!
