The Lilypad measures 10 x 20 feet, with a large covered deck that is just steps from the water. Although it is tiny, the cabin has everything you need to have a relaxing and fun time! The garden doors open into a beautiful space - with high whitewashed pine ceilings and white shiplap walls. The decor is a mix of scandi and boho styles - with a touch of vintage. The large glass garage door opens to provide panoramic views of the bay. Spend the morning lounging in bed, with the garage door open, and enjoy the breeze drifting in and the wild life floating by.

The rustic outdoor toilet and shower are just around the corner of the deck and add to the charm of the property.
The Lilypad sits on a large flat granite rock which curves down to the water. The rock is the perfect place for sunbathing, doing a few yoga stretches, and enjoying the campfire, You can throw a line in and spend the afternoon fishing, or take the plunge into the cool waters of Lake Winnipeg. Rent one of our kayaks or canoe and take a paddle out to one of the many tiny islands that dot the bay. So many great things to see and do at The LIlypad at Loon Straits.

Great secluded spot with beach access. Was able to pull right up with our suburban and 17foot trailer with minimal effort, a larger trailer and truck may have some difficulty pulling right up to the prime window view, but wouldn't be a big deal to stay back a bit. Fire bowl had a wheelbarrow with wood ready to go and plenty of beach wood around to collect with permission. Sunrise was insanely beautiful. Only thing we would change is staying longer!

This was by far the best camping/glamping experience we've ever had. Glen gave us such a warm welcome, even before we arrived at his property, greeting us at the entrance. He took the time to explain everything in detail and treated us to an off-road ride, showing us the stunning acres of his forested land. He also provided firewood and coffee in the morning—such a wonderful gesture. Glen is truly a wonderful host.
The tipi was incredibly cozy, with all the bedding already set up for us, which made us feel right at home. We felt completely safe and at peace during our stay. One thing I’d recommend is bringing insect repellent, as there are quite a few bugs, but that’s to be expected in a nature setting. The best part is that you’ll have the entire place to yourself, which makes it feel even more special.
The property has a full-sized BBQ, which was perfect for cooking, and Glen’s chicken farm added a nice touch—he kindly brought us fresh eggs for breakfast.
If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back with friends in the future!

What a beautiful location on the lake. Perfect tent site that you can spread out a bit as there several pockets areas to pitch a tent or a small overland set up. Nelson returned all my texts in a timely manner and offers a fire pit and wood when there are no fire bans. Highly recommended!
