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!
