The 10 Best Cabin Rentals in Manitoba That Feel Like a True Getaway

Okay, I’ll admit it—no matter how much I love being out in nature, I still prefer a solid roof over my head. Tents are fun in theory, but when the wind starts howling or something rustles in the bushes? Yeah, give me four walls and a door that locks. 

There’s just something reassuring about a well-built cabin, especially if you’re travelling with family or a group (aka: people with a lot of stuff).

So, we’ve rounded up the best cabin rentals in Manitoba, with something for every vibe, view and budget.

Just under a kilometre south of Riding Mountain National Park’s south gate, close to the townsite, Clear Lake Cabin makes for an ideal base for exploring, hiking, wildlife, and more. It’s also a short walk to Wasagaming’s shops, restaurants, beach, marina, and the visitor centre. 

Inside this 1050 sq ft modern cabin is a king bedroom, a queen room, and a sleeper sofa in the living room, so you can expect a spacious cabin. Plus, the tiled shower, air conditioning, full kitchen, washer/dryer, and smart TV make it feel like a luxury home in nature.

We also love how it offers a peaceful evening setup, thanks to its outdoor deck, fire pit, and hot tub—perfect for a post-hike or beach relaxation. And we appreciate how the place is always clean and inviting, even in winter, they earn points since it has toasty heated floors. 

Pro tip:

It’s a good idea to bring some outdoor or board games, and portable speakers, especially since the cabin has a nice deck and firepit area. And if you’re visiting off-peak seasons, ask the owner/host about early check-ins or discounted rates.

Check-in: 4 PM

Pricing: $$$

This cabin in Clearwater Bay offers you direct access to a beautiful sandy beach that’s great for swimming, lounging, and paddleboarding. And you won’t have to worry about privacy or exclusivity since it sits on a large, private lot with natural water streams and green space. 

What stood out to us the most is its bedspace. The main cabin includes four bedrooms, with a separate guest cabin providing a 5th. With 10 beds in total (plus a large sectional sofa), the cabin easily sleeps up to 12 comfortably, which is a win for families or large groups. 

On that note, you can also bring your furry friends and little ones, especially since it has lots of open yard space for playing and other activities. Also, it’s just a minute’s drive to the Clearwater Bay Market and LCBO, making it convenient to stock up when needed. 

Pro tip:

Given its access to the water, bring your paddleboard, kayak, or canoe. And if you’re staying a few days, try to drive into Kenora (around 25 minutes away) for local eats, breweries, and a walk along the Harbourfront Greenbelt.

Pricing: $$$
Website

This Tree Top Getaway in Cape Coppermine was built in 2023, so you can expect it to be new and modern. It’s a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property that’s tucked among the trees, giving you the feeling of a treetop escape. 

It’s a comfy space for families, especially since it can accommodate up to 8 guests. By comfort, we mean you’ll have WiFi, air conditioning, heating, a full kitchen, a large private deck, and an outdoor firepit area. 

And while this place isn’t directly on the shoreline, a short forested trail leads to your private dock, which is excellent for swimming, sunbathing, casting a line, and taking photos.

Pro tip:

Consider packing some water shoes and a flashlight since the path to the dock can be uneven, especially in the evening. And try booking a round at nearby Granite Hills Golf Course if you have some free time in your itinerary.

Luxury Cabin is an upscale lakefront escape that’s situated directly on Twin Lakes Beach, offering private beach access just steps from your door. Although this place truly shines in summer, this cabin is designed for all seasons, making it a wonderful retreat in fall or winter.

This cabin offers guests modern comfort with rustic touches. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the interior is stylish and cozy, ideal for couples, families, or a small group of friends. You’ll get essentials like heating, Wi-Fi, and a full kitchen.

It’s also worth noting that if you don’t own any water sports gear or choose not to bring any, they’re available for rent, such as paddleboards, kayaks, and other water toys. After that, you can chill on the wrap-around deck.  

Pro tip:

You can bring one dog that’s less than 23 kg. And note that special requests are subject to availability when you check in, and there can be additional charges. 

Duplex Cabin Rental On Gull Lake (Beaconia)

Address: Gull Lake

Check-in: 4 PM
Check-out: 11 AM
Pricing: $$
Website

The Duplex Cabin Retreat on Gull Lake features two separate units: you have the one with three bedrooms (sleeps 7), and one with two bedrooms plus a hide-a-bed (sleeps 6). You’ll also find a shared bathhouse with an extra 3-piece washroom, making it easy for larger groups to stay.

Another thing we love is how each unit includes a full kitchen and living room so that you can cook, gather, and unwind at your own pace.

Just a heads-up, the cabins aren’t directly on the water, but you can access Gull Lake just 200 yards away via the public beach. We also appreciate that the beach is shallow and safe for kids, yet deep enough for swimming, paddleboarding, and even snorkelling in crystal-clear waters.

Pro tip:

It’s a good idea to bring water shoes to make it easier to wade through shallows, explore rocky patches, and avoid any unexpected pebbles or slippery spots.

Pricing: $$

If you want somewhere right next to Rushing River Provincial Park, this 3-bedroom chalet offers direct access to forest trails, rapids, and beaches. It’s also neat how the backyard is wooded, giving you the perfect blend of privacy and convenience since it’s near the water.

Inside, expect to see three queen beds, two sofa beds, and a full bathroom, which means this cabin comfortably caters to up to 8 guests. You also get to enjoy their full kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, fridge, Keurig, and drip coffee makers, toaster, blender, cookware, and dining space. 

Here’s another perk: two kayaks and life jackets are included for exploring Dogtooth Lake, and a private boat slip is available if you bring your own. Plus, you also have shared access to nearby docks, a clean beach, a swim platform, a basketball court, and a trampoline.  

Pro tip:

Note that they only accept Sunday-to-Sunday bookings, with a minimum of 7 nights. And don’t forget to bring your fishing gear, considering Dogtooth Lake is teeming with walleye, lake trout, pike, and more.

Lakeview cabin

Check-in: 4 PM

Pricing: $$

This Lakeview Cabin in Grand Marais is just a few minutes from a sandy beach on Lake Winnipeg and the Trans Canada Trail. In other words, it’s a good spot for swimming, hiking, biking, or just strolling around the scenic surroundings. 

With a full kitchen, air conditioning, heating, and a nice woodstove, you’ll be comfortable in any season. We also like that up to two dogs are welcome (with approval), and there’s even a spacious 20×20 deck and bonfire pit to enjoy outdoor time with your friends and family. 

And if you’re in the mood to stay in, we like that they have a sunroom that’s perfect for chilling, and the living area has a curved smart TV with Starlink internet, along with over 300 DVDs, VHS tapes, and board games for all ages. 

Pro tip:

Keep in mind that guests regularly spot deer, foxes, birds, and more around the property, so make sure to keep food indoors to maintain safety and avoid unwanted wildlife encounters.

Check-in: 3 PM

Pricing: $$$
Website

Pelicans Nest is a charming A-frame lakeside retreat with stunning views. It features two queen bedrooms plus a king suite in the open loft. And thanks to its large windows and forested surroundings, it offers the best views of Pelican Lake.

Seeing how it’s equipped with air conditioning, baseboard heat, a wood-burning fireplace, a washer/dryer, and a well-stocked kitchen, it balances rustic charm with modern convenience. You won’t have to worry about bedding and towels, too, since they’re already provided. 

The best part? Since it’s literally on the water’s edge, you can enjoy direct access to swimming, fishing, canoeing, or kayaking (two kayaks are provided for recreational use). You can also enjoy their outdoor hot tub, campfire area, and deck. 

Pro tip:

There are a couple of things to keep in mind, such as rinsing off before entering the bathtub—you’ll get a $200 surcharge if the tub has to be drained or cleaned out. And there’s a quiet time from 11 PM to 8 AM; complaints can result in eviction.

Creekside Cabin (Lac du Bonnet)

Creekside Cabin spans around 1508 sq ft with three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open concept great room. You can also expect a gourmet kitchen with quartz bar, coffee station, floor-to-ceiling windows, and chic decor—basically, it’s a luxury cabin.

To give you a better idea, the main bedroom offers a heated-floor ensuite with a quartz dual vanity, tiled shower, and even a walk-in closet. And you can probably guess that they have air conditioning, heating, a washer/dryer, and a barrel sauna for year-round relaxation. 

Not to mention, the landscaped yard has room for sports like volleyball, badminton, or just s’mores by the fire.

Pro tip:

It’s a good idea to book mid-week stays because weekend nights fill fast and often come with pricier rates. Don’t miss out on the included bikes and kayaks; they’re perfect for short paddles or lakeside rides.

This Lakefront Luxury Home at Lake Metigoshe provides guests with direct lake access, which means you can easily spend summer days fishing, swimming, or paddling. In cooler months, you can take lovely walks along gravel lake roads or explore the shoreline.

Now, inside you can find four bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it perfect for families or friends who want plenty of room.

It’s also cool that snowmobiling, sledding, and cross-country skiing are all within reach in the winter. 

Pro tip:

Note that they do have a bathtub, but it’s on a seasonal basis—it’s only available in July, August, and September.
