STAY549, Winnipeg

The homestay is set in a peaceful, tree-lined neighbourhood that feels more like a secluded cabin than a city property. It is 6 km from Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport and requires a 15-minute drive, for which a shuttle is available upon request. Major attractions are a short drive away: Assiniboine Zoo is 4 km, and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is 13 km. A wide variety of restaurants and shopping are also within a short drive. Ride-sharing services are very responsive, making car-free trips around the city straightforward.

The property offers 3 rooms and 2 glamping tents. Rooms include a choice of queen and double bed setups, and the Luxury King room is the only one with a private bathroom. All other rooms use shared bathroom facilities, which are lockable. Each room is air-conditioned, carpeted, and features a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Rooms come with a kitchen including a stovetop, refrigerator, oven, and kitchenware, along with a private entrance, tea and coffee facilities, and an outdoor dining area. The mattresses are firm and supportive, and pillow variety is available. The atmosphere is quiet, with many noting the homestay feels very clean and well-maintained.

The seasonal outdoor heated swimming pool operates until September, features a shallow end, a fence around it, and is open from 10 am to 9 pm daily. Adjacent are sun loungers, beach umbrellas, and a pool bar. The hot tub runs year-round, also available from noon to 9 pm daily. For dry heat, there is a sauna and a steam room. A fitness centre is available for exercise, and the garden area with an outdoor fireplace and BBQ facilities adds to the leisure options. The quiet, adults-only setting makes these amenities ideal for relaxing, with deer sometimes visible on the grounds.
