Cabin life is a huge part of Manitoba culture, but let’s face it… not all of us have our own cabins! And even if we do, it can be fun to explore more of the province by staying in a cottage that can (temporarily) feel like our own. Thankfully, there is a multitude of Manitoba cabin rentals to choose from, many of which are available all year long.
Whether you’re after a summer holiday with friends, a peaceful winter retreat, or just a change of scenery, there’s a vacation rental for you. We’ve rounded up some of the best of these cabins for rent in Manitoba, so you’re sure to find the cottage that suits your needs!
Land Acknowledgments
Road Trip Manitoba covers travel through Manitoba, which is made up of Treaty 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Territory, as well as communities that are signatories to Treaty 6 and Treaty 10. Manitoba is home to the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Anish-Ininiwak, Dakota, Dene, Ininiwak, and Nehethowuk peoples, as well as the homeland of the Métis peoples.
The Best Manitoba Cabin Rentals
Lakefront Cottage Home (Shoal Lake)
Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 3
Guests: 6
When we say this is one of the coolest Manitoba cabin rentals, we mean it. Found on gorgeous Shoal Lake in the southwest of the province – and thankfully not too far from attractions such as Riding Mountain National Park – the design aspect of the cottage is the first thing you’ll fall in love with: think massive windows to bring in the sunshine, modern interiors, and best of all, a massive deck that overlooks the water.
With two acres of private property, you also have a dock as well as another detached deck on the lake. Enjoy paddle boarding, swimming, and water sports in summer, while winter brings cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and curling up by the wood-burning fireplace. Trust us… this is one vacation rental you will never forget.
