Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
This was the cleanest, most well appointed accommodation i have ever had! A warm welcome, fluffy towels, plenty of everything and pristine. Would definitely recommend this iñn and would definitely stay there again!
cross canada trip with a stay on manitoulin island
the room (6) was very comfortable and had everything i needed in the kitchenette and the bathroom was very clean and well appointed with the essentials like soap and shampoo.
Booked the queen suite, which was very spacious, well laid out, and convenient. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and offered additional information on activities and sights to see. This was an exceptional stay at the Wayside.
Very clean and spacious room, it had everything we needed. Bathroom was very clean and bright. Patio outside was great for cooking or BBQ for those who need it. Highly recommend to anyone needing a relaxing stay on the island.
