Host was AMAZING to deal with. Very flexible with our dates (ESPECIALLY at the last minute) when things kept changing with our arrival/departure dates. Definitely did NOT smell like cat urine!

We could not even stay there. The smell of cat urine was so bad, we had to leave.Check in was supposed to be at 3, we didn't get in until 10pm to check the place out.We checked it out and the smell was so bad, we had to get hotel rooms in a different city
A spacious and beautiful country retreat, a short walk to the lake. Four of us were here for the Gimli Film Festival and this cottage was an excellent base camp. Owner communicated well with us. Cottage is well equipped and the several decks are delightful options for dining. Highly recommend this place and this Host!

Sadly so terrible! Dirty place, contaminated water and a rude host!
The location is wonderful, great natural light and nice decks and yard! However the home was dirty upon check in, so we spent a while cleaning it. Then the water was black and smelled of sulfur. The strong smell was giving us a headache and making us nauseous. We politely expressed concerns to the host who was offended and very rude. We eventually had to check out after a day because the water still would not run clear. The host would not refund us our money and was not the kind person we initially thought she was. We got sick as a result of the contaminated water, including my 6 month old son. But the host still did nothing to remediate the situation, she never even said the words “I’m sorry” once!
Not the type of experience you hope for when staying in friendly Manitoba! There are other places to rent in the area, I strongly recommend renting elsewhere for your stay! Rent from someone who will care about your well-being! Sadly Annette did not even care about even a 6 month olds well-being.
