Sunset Inn

Nice large, comfortable room with a fireplace and seating area. Scenic, on Lake Nipigon. In town, lots of restaurants nearby.

A Journey North Since July 2025, I have been faithfully pouring my mind onto pages. Over three months of steady practice, I began to notice a pattern: my mind reveals itself in cycles, rising and falling with the rhythms of the day. One of those quiet cycles planted a seed. After our Muskoka cottage trip earlier this year, a thought stayed with me: the next overnight stay must be by a lake, where Theo can play in the water and I can sit with presence. I didn’t chase it. I let it rest in the background, unforced. Then, one evening, scrolling through Expedia, the image of the Sunset Inn in North Bay caught me off guard. A private beach, a fireplace in the room —it seemed almost designed for the vision I carried. For some reason, I simply trusted: this will work out. On Saturday, September 27, the day unfolded in alignment with that trust. We left Cambridge around 11 a.m., driving north into corridors of fall color. By the time we arrived at the Sunset Inn, presence was already thick in the air. At the reception, a female welcomed warmly while helping two senior citizens who also reserved six rooms for July 2026. Her calm presence reassured me that the reviews I had read were true. Theo’s joy sealed the moment. He rushed straight to the private beach, the water level perfect for his fearless play. Watching him splash and laugh, I felt the fulfillment of the entire journey.

The hotel was right on the water where we had access to a private beach and dock. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We ate at the Indian restaurant next door and it was fabulous.
