Looking for an adventure like no other? Come experience our beautiful spacious light-filled cottage situated on the east shores of majestic Lake Winnipeg. Located within the borders of the only protected UNESCO World Heritage Site within Manitoba, our unique area is known for deep boreal forests and untouched wilderness. The Ojibwe name for this area is Pimachiowin Aki (pim MATCH - o win - a KEH) which means "Land that gives life" and "Living the good life on the Land". It is the perfect name for this place; a place where nature and culture come together and are inseparable. Built in 2013, our lovely getaway has an open-concept living/dining/kitchen area, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, wraparound deck, sunroom, and gorgeous views of the water. Miles from civilization, with just one or two locals to keep you from feeling too isolated, Loon Straits is a hidden gem located on the east shores of Lake Winnipeg, under 3 hours drive north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The drive up to our cottage is so beautiful that you won’t even mind the distance! Our wraparound deck is the ultimate place to bbq, sip a glass of wine or after-dinner cocktail, watch the sunrise with coffee in hand, observe the wildlife (pelicans, ducks, eagles, beaver, muskrats, foxes, the odd moose or bear- the list goes on!) nap in the hammock, or keep an eye on the kids as they cannonball into the water. The lawn is great for playing lawn sports (bocci ball anyone?), tanning, campfires, or yoga. Our private dock and boat launch are steps from the front door so you can launch your canoe or fishing boat in no time. WATERFRONT: granite rock, accessible for swimming and fishing. Gorgeous untouched sandy beaches within walking distance. HEATING: baseboard, wood stove No smoking Pet friendly - small dogs only Washing machine 1 full bathroom with shower and bathtub Fully equipped kitchen with dishes, pots, pans, cutlery, dishwasher, microwave, large fridge/freezer, coffeemaker, toaster 2 Bedrooms: bedroom 1 has queen bed, 2 dressers, large closet. Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds, dresser and closet, sofa bed in living room - sleeps 2 Bed linens and towels provided. Things to do: Great fishing, hiking, exploring, biking, swimming, nature-watching, relaxing, campfires, watching the sunrise and sunset over the water, marvel at the stars, listen to the loons call. PLEASE NOTE: Our property is remote - meaning there are no grocery stores, restaurants, or gas stations within a 150 km radius of Loon Straits. Please be prepared with enough food, gas, water, spare tires, and a reliable vehicle if you decide to book with us and make the journey! REMEMBER - It's an adventure!

Weekend Trip to Lake Winnipeg Beachfront Eyrarbakki
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!

Had a great time, there were a ton of walking paths through the woods, it was well taken care of, and there were all kinds of extras like a scavenger hunt on the trails. We stayed at the RV site and spent out last night in the Blue Owl cabin, awesome little cabin, we'll definitely be back

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!

Private historic homestead site on a wooded ridge featuring rare (for this area) oak trees, grassy fields, and unspoiled nature, the Ásalda site is a 5 minute drive from Riverton (shopping and restaurants) and beautiful Sandy Bar Beach on Lake Winnipeg. The site provides plenty of privacy with opportunities for nature hikes, birding, cycling, campfire stargazing, etc. Lots of wide open spaces for a pet. Spring time offers a unique experience as the nearby wetlands come alive with an incredible chorus of frogs. Firepit provided, wood available.

The Lilypad at Loon Straits

63km from Manigotagan River Provincial Park · 1 site · Lodging
The Lilypad at Loon Straits is the perfect place to reconnect with nature, a favorite person, and simple pleasures. Located within the borders of the only Unesco World Heritage site in Manitoba, our tiny waterfront cabin offers world class views of wildlife, the Aurora Borealis, dark skies, and the chance to immerse oneself in the unique culture of our lands. Perfect for a romantic getaway for two, a friend's weekend catchup, or for the solo traveler needing a retreat. Enjoy our stargazing glamping tent, leisurely walks, quiet sunsets, campfires on the rock, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, biking, and sandy beaches. 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. Or curl up in the hammock chairs with a good book and a cool drink and feel the warm summer sun on your skin. Our compact kitchen has stainless steel countertops and a small sink. Our vintage dining table and chairs are just the cutest and just the right size for 2 to 3 people. The living/sleeping area consists of a queen size futon and twin size loft bed (should you need the extra bed). 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. We allow pets (dogs only) for an additional $20.00 per booking. Please add the Pet Fee listed as an Extra during booking.
