Lakefront Cottage

We had a wonderful time at the cottage, the house and property are well maintained and clean. There are lots of space outdoors to play with the kids, we were able to see the stars at night and wildlife is everywhere you look. Dan is a great host, very accommodating and great communication with his guests. We can't wait to visit again!

The house was fine. The kitchen was dirtier then we would have liked to see and there was random stuff all over the house. We would stay there again though. All in all it was a nice stay

Nice, Relaxing Stay!

Our family had a nice, relaxing stay at this cabin, lots of room for everyone. Loved having the master bedroom and a 2nd living room on the other side of the house for extra privacy if needed. Would have loved to have better water access off the cabin, almost impossible to maneuver the very large rocks and swim, kayak/canoe, etc. but otherwise a great stay!

Thank you Mary-Jane for your kind words. We're in a process of building proper access to the lake. We’re also updating the two outside sheds, one to be used as two-shower room and the second one to be used as double bed guesthouse. We hope to see you and your family again. Dan

Lovely location, cabin comfortable, yard is big enough for games, owner very pleasant and helpful. One note: the front page of listing says sheets, towels etc are included, but they aren't. That info is only way down at the bottom, and easily missed while booking, though the owner points it out after booking.

My overall perception was WOW!! Large kitchen, large table so all 10 fit, enough room that we weren't tripping over each other, enough bedrooms to accommodate everyone., washer & dryer. Everyone said next year - kids and adults both

The place is as described. Very big living area. lots of beds and sleeping space. Very nice view of the lake. 45mins walk to Winnipeg Beach. 15mins drive to Gimli Beach. Host is very accommodating and friendly. He made sure our stay was as good as it got. Very good communication. Will definitely book this place again next season.

Family gathering

Dan was a great host. Lots of room. We wish the access to the lake was easier, there are a lot of big rocks to navigate to get to the water and if the lake is rough it makes it very challenging. Unfortunately the wifi and tv weren’t working so there were a few disappointed bomber fans. Overall we enjoyed our time.

A family stay

This place is rustic it’s run down, no acs, fans don’t even work good, the bbq hose to the propane tank was already broken wiring was already ripping and rusted that bbq look like it was on its last days. The house smelt like a real ethic smell as if they had someone living there. We never smoked up in the house we smoked it outside. We are not paying that for a already broken bbq. we rent so much cabins this summer and never did we get bad reviews.

Hello, Our loss is not only for replacement of the BBQ. Which you mentioned looked like it was on “its last day” you used it as a charcoal grill, which destroyed the BBQ. And additional extensive professional cleaning to the cabin was needed. Please read the report we submitted to VRBO to claim the damages and extra cleaning. Our report to VRBO; “ This is our first time to file a claim against our guests’ security deposit. Unfortunately, our last guests used the cottage’s BBQ machine as a charcoal grill. As a result, the damages are listed in the following: • All the wiring in the BBQ was found melted • The grills where removed. • The parts where the grills used to be placed were full of ashes. Our guests who came the next day requested a BBQ machine - as their weekend food was all planned for BBQ. We had to get one for them immediately. As the report states – you left the cottage in an extreme mess and unsanitary condition. Which required 3 additional professional cleaners, to assist the cleaners originally hired. This has been documented by the cleaners and I myself. You requested no one to welcome you, or come to the cottage before you left. Though we accepted your request, it left us with no opportunity to show you how everything works and where to find the AC’s and fans. Had you asked us to bring you the charcoal grill, instead of using the BBQ, we would have gladly brought you one. If you call and ask for anything we always help and accommodate our guests. One phone call would have resolved everything you complained about. However, you chose not to call or meet with us. You said “we rent so much cabins this summer and never did we get bad reviews ” . That is not correct. Please see your previews reviews.

The cottage is very large and easily accommodated our party of 7. Its was nice to have 2 washrooms and enough beds for everyone. The view was amazing and the grounds allowed for outdoor games. We enjoyed the fire pit as well. It would have been be nice to have a safe way to get to the beach like stairs or a ramp. One member of our party wasn't able to get to the water because of mobility issues. It would also have been nice to know in advance that the water wasn't ideal for swimming because of the large rocks hidden under the surface. I would suggest an info binder available for guests providing info on the cottage and its surroundings. For example, what to do when checking out ,who provides toilet paper and water when we run out, how to work the tv, etc. This would prevent having to contact the manager on our stay. We found it to be a great place to say and might stay again but there are several things that would have to be tweaked in order to create a more comfortable space for guests.

Lakefront cottage

This was a great cottage for two families to vacation together. There was plenty of room inside and a beautiful yard for lots of activities. We spent a lot of time watching the waves come in on windy days. Close to both Winnipeg beach and Gimli if you want to take the kids to a bigger beach. Owners were super friendly and accommodating.

Spacious but needs Attention

This property has an amazing view, but the yard needs attention. We had to pick up garbage. There are old fans, chairs, tubs, and other items thrown into piles throughout the yard. The cottage was clean, but needs attention. We had no cupboards to store our food because there was food that belonged to other people in there. The fridge still had some food, as well as the fridge freezer, which we removed and put into a small floor freezer that had other things in it. Very spacious, but felt a little over sold for the price.
