Welcome to Manse Lane Bed and Breakfast, Gananoque's Oldest B & B.
The 2011 season promises to be busy. We have recovered from the 2010 season (our busiest yet), spruced-up a few rooms, and spent the winter months testing some new recipes.
Bruce is back in the kitchen after spending much of last summer in Toronto on client business and he looks forward to seeing many returning guests. We have also revised some of our packages and special deals, so please check out our website or call for details!
Manse Lane Bed & Breakfast is a beautiful Victorian home located in Gananoque, Ontario, the Canadian Gateway to the Thousand Islands. We are pleased to invite you to enjoy our hospitality and explore this world-famous region.
Small enough to provide cozy, personalized attention, yet large enough to give you space and privacy, Manse Lane is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a relaxing and friendly place to stay while on holiday. We regularly host travelers from all over North America and Europe. Breakfast times offer an opportunity to chat with your fellow guests, or to simply enjoy the delicious food while anticipating the day ahead.
2011 marks our fourth year as the owners of Manse Lane and we appreciate the patience and good wishes that our past visitors have imparted. Despite economic woes and Bruce's projects in Toronto, 2010 was a very busy season for us. Thank you to Liz, Ric, Kristi and Tristi for making last year a success.
As always, we are happy to answer your questions over the telephone, so please don't hesitate to call. Our coordinates are found on our Contact page.

Gananoque is a regular stop for international travellors planning a big trip to Canada because of the area's natural beauty and its gateway to the Thousand Islands. Over the course of a summer, Manse Lane hosts dozens of couples and families from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
This year we want to extend the great Canadian experience for international guests by offering special experiences like boat cruises (private or boat line), horseback riding, canoing, fishing, or visits to local farms. We are also planning "nature walks" that can provide you will a real view of Canada's ruggedness. If you are an international visitor planning a trip, please plan on spending at least two nights in Gananoque to enjoy all that we have to offer. (Please note that these special excursions are not included in B & B room rates).
"Thanks for everything Bruce! Felt like home away from home. Your breakfasts were outstanding. Breakfasts will never be the same...real bacon and real eggs and real jams and real baked goods. Yum! All the best. S & G, Ottawa. P.S. Eggs that tasted like eggs!"

Family getaways at Manse Lane
Gananoque is conveniently located between Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa so it's a great location for family get-togethers. In fact, our family has been coming to Gan for mini-reunions since the early 1980s. We are happy to rent our entire house to a family for a weekend. In the off-season the rate is between $400-$500 per day, depending on the number of mouths to feed. During the peak season we rent the house for between $500 and $600 per day. We can sleep up to 14 people (depending on the combination of parents and children); if your family is larger, we can arrange rooms with a neighbouring B & B.
