Meet Your Host
I am a globetrotter who spends the winter months travelling the world. My children and grandchildren have lived overseas for many years launching my cosmopolitan lifestyle. I am a cordon bleu-trained chef passionate about art, design, food, and wine.
My husband, Mark, and I owned a family cottage on Manitoulin Island where my children grew up spending their summers forging great lifelong memories and experiences. We always wanted to come back to live on this “magical” and spiritual island. From my point of view; there is no more breathtaking place on this earth than Manitoulin Island. We both feel this is the culmination of our life’s work and passions.
We fell in love with the Queen’s Inn the moment we walked through the front door. Our goal is to preserve its structural integrity, beauty, and historical value and share it with you…
