Adventure Awaits at this Lakeside Retreat, #9 Rocky Lake North!
About this house rental
Nestled in Saskatchewan, this charming house for $158 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Long, warm, sunny days amidst the unspoiled solace of the Canadian North can be yours to enjoy at this comfortable getaway on Rocky Lake, Manitoba. Located 30 minutes drive north of The Pas Manitoba or 25 minutes drive from The Pas airport (with connections to Winnipeg), roads are good quality highway with a short 3 km (2 mile) limestone gravel section at the very end to bring you to your home away from home. Located on the limestone portion of the Canadian Shield, Rocky Lake has many miles of uniquely beautiful shoreline, nearly a dozen small uninhabited islands, and some 26,000 acres of clean, clear, pristine waters. While it has no sandy beaches (it comes by its name honestly) it has few underwater reefs that pose boating hazards. With a few minutes instruction and a good lake map to reference (supplied) it becomes one of the safest lakes in the area to explore by boat. You can look forward to days spent suntanning, water skiing, tubing, hiking, canoeing/kayaking/paddle-boarding, swimming, snorkelling, and of course...FISHING! Fishing season opens on the 3rd weekend in May and early season success can be guaranteed! Fishing in home bay, right off the dock has produced picture worthy "keepers" from at least 3 different species. Rocky Lake has a vibrant fishery for Northern Pike, Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Cisco ( the Manitoba record being caught in Rocky Lake at 23.5"), and Whitefish. Nearby Barbe Lake (15 minutes drive) holds the Manitoba record for Brook (Speckled) Trout, and the adjacent Clearwater Lake (25 minutes drive) is not only a destination that should be seen for its beauty, but also has a renowned Lake Trout fishery. Check out the unique aspects of Manitoba's Master Angler program (and note Rocky Lake's recent entries). There is a good gravel boat launch a short (5 minute) drive from home. (The person driving the boat will beat you home as it's closer by lake!) There is a $10 fee for using the launch. There is a seasonal restaurant with tasty meals and delicious ice cream treats adjacent to the launch. #9 has a stable, a well maintained "L" shaped floating dock with secure, safe mooring for up to 3 boats. The Home: #9 Rocky Lake North is bright, open and inviting. There are three bedrooms with closets, a three season room ("The Loft") that is accessible from both upper bedrooms as well as having its own entrance from the deck. This room is a great retreat for kids or teens, with couches, a table and child sized bunk beds and two cots. The kitchen is fully equipped with fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, pantry, and toaster oven. Dishes, cutlery, appliances: 8+ place settings, kitchen knives, wine glasses, coffee mugs, insulated mugs, juice jug and cups, pots and frying pans, basic spices, electric mixer, ice maker, water dispenser, cutting boards, electric stew pot, crock pot, baking pans, popcorn popper and more. The house is equipped with a vacuum cleaner, brooms and mops, deck chairs, portable fire pit, firewood, deck swing, and propane BBQ with tools. There is a huge L shaped deck on two sides of the house which lends itself greatly to outdoor gatherings, and is a great place to sun and relax. At certain times of the year the mosquitoes (Manitoba's air force) can make their presence known. This varies year by year, and season by season. Be certain to include some quality insect repellant on your packing list, just in case. We find the lantern style systems particularly effective for outdoor gatherings. (Please be VERY mindful if you are using the burning coil type insect repellant.) Some of the best bass fishing and walleye hotspots on the lake are literally within 300 meters of the dock... We have recently added a portable filleting station outside the home for fisherman to more easily deal with their catch. It has running water (with a simple hose attachment) and plenty of elbow room. Please double bag and tie all fish offal and ensure they are placed in the metal bin away from scavengers. Rinse water can be collected (buckets provided) and easily dumped into the septic tank. This keeps the yard fresh for all! In 2020 we added more dock space (another 56' -L- shape) and this makes it easier to launch small water toys away from boat traffic. Our SUP (stand up paddle-board) is hung there for easy access. We have also added an "experienced" paddle boat that seats up to 4 persons. (2 adults/2 children.) Lifejackets MUST be worn. Please feel free to use the water toys, but do so at your own risk. In 2021 we added air conditioning to provide an escape from the blistering heat that can accompany the looong days of sunlight in the north! We have also upgraded the laundry facilities to include a full size washer and dryer (a welcome addition for travelers arriving from afar or staying a week or more.) In 2022 we upgraded the BBQ facilities, adding a larger capacity grill and a canopy so rain can't dampen your supper plans. We have also added an electric wall fireplace in the master bedroom for that extra "pop" of ambiance! I acquired a sleek, 17' square stern Grumman aluminum canoe which is available for use in the lake nearby. It is lovely to paddle...but keep an eye on the sky as storms can come up fast on Rocky Lake. NB: Based on past experience we will now be limiting groups in the Summer to 6 adults. (Children can be counted separately. We ask for honesty and we would be pleased to deal with families on an individual basis.) Winter rentals will be limited to 3 couples (6 adults based on double occupancy of beds) or 4 adults, each in their own bed.

We had an amazing time, the grandkids loved the paddle boat and the girls enjoyed the paddle board every day. It’s awesome to be able to dock your boat and leave it in the water all weekend long. There was plenty of room for our whole family. Would definitely recommend this vrbo

Everything was good. However. The water has a rotten egg smell to it that needs to be fixed. It smells very bad and after a shower you can still smell it. The water was undrinkable.
We also had to go to the store for drinking water for 17 dollars for a jug!!!

The house was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities, just as described. The large deck overlooks a calm bay where we were easily able to dock two fishing boats and a pontoon boat. Friendly neighbors, beautiful scenery and good fishing - we are definitely coming back to this restful retreat.

The veiw was good. We had a hot week with lots of bugs. The AC had a hard time keeping the upstairs bedroom cool. We really enjoyed the calm bay and being able to leave our boat at the dock.

Great place!
The cabin was great! We loved that it felt like home as soon as you stepped inside. The water toys were a great bonus, bed were comfortable, kitchen well stocked, lots for a family to do around the cabin. We enjoyed that they also has items for our 6 month old such as a high chair. My only complaint would be that there were not enough fans, the upstairs gets quite hot, had to go to town to buy a fan as the box fan just wasn’t enough. We very much enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again!

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It’s neat and clean but not too fancy. We felt relaxed with our young family and grandparents. The paddle board and paddle boat was used everyday. We spent a lot of time swimming off the dock and walking on the rocky shoreline. We had some windy days but because the bay is sheltered, it was calm for us. The neighbourhood was quite and pleasant. We caught enough fish to enjoy a couple fish frys. We really appreciated having firewood provided and even kindling!
We made a couple day trips to Clearwater lake and visited the caves. We all really enjoyed that!
We also enjoyed the lookout tower at Bakers Narrows and checking out Flin Flon.
With forest fires burning and Covid lingering, we were lucky to have enjoyed such a great trip!
Thanks again Vicky & Zane!
