Beautiful & unique
Gorgeous property & facilities, really unique place to stay in Manitoba for a getaway. Loved the wood fired sauna, we'll need to come back in warmer temps to enjoy the natural pool! Check in/out was a breeze, communication with the host was great. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice peaceful getaway spot
The property and cabin were beautiful and it's obvious that the hosts put a lot of care into detail. The wood stove and mix of propane and solar power could be a bit confusing for folks who've never had experience with those. We really enjoyed the being "off grid" aspect of the cabin.
There was some nice trails and a cool sauna on site and lots of fun trails and wild life areas nearby. Would definitely go back.

Peaceful getaway
Bit of a learning curve for me as I had not experienced the workings of solar-powered and propane-fuelled equipment. But the place was gorgeous, peaceful, stunning and I enjoyed the sauna and pool as well as the brilliant starry skies at night. I only wish I'd stayed longer.

As promised!
This was a nice and peaceful getaway, and the descriptions provided by the property manager were very accurate, helpful and exactly as it appeared in the sample images of the cabin and surrounding area.
With the amenities provided, it included all items needed to operate/maintain each one and there were no issues at all.
Communication was very prompt, which made the whole process very easy and inviting. Thank you for everything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this stay for summer or winter.
