I enjoyed an unexpected treat recently and that was checking out a new BnB in Killarney Manitoba.

We packed up some meals, snacks, wine and crafts and we were off!

The house right across from Killarney Beach has 4 bedrooms but sleeps 10.

This is a view of the house from the beach.

The first floor rooms sleep 3 each.

The two 3rd floor rooms slept 2 each. The pillows, comforters, sheets and mattresses were chosen with cozy sleeps in mind.

The bedrooms all had live plants in each; a novel touch for an Air BnB.

One full bathroom was found on each floor with more fluffy white towels than you could possibly use. Beach towels were also available.

 

The great room included throws to snuggle up under as we gazed at the pelicans on the lake or watched Netflix which was provided by the hosts.

Although too chilly for our use, there was a barbeque and covered deck for el fresco dining.

The well equipped kitchen overlooked the dining room with vantages of the lake just beyond.

I am quite sure that this was not their regular practice but the host also had fresh cut flowers waiting for us along with a basket of wine, nuts and chocolate!

The thing about crafting is that you can relax and chat while learning a new skill. One of my crafts was embellishing a wine glass in blues and mauves.

We spent most of our time busy creating at that dining room table, but we did find time to eat marvellous food too.

I brought a charcuterie lunch and got off super easy in the food prep department.

This amazing seared scallop dinner was lovingly prepared for us.

The next morning we were treated to Gran Marnier French Toast.

Pork tenderloin with sautéed apples and onions was served at dinner time accompanied by roasted potatoes, tomatoes and asparagus.

Of course I had to stand on a chair to get the perfect shot of dinner.

Dessert that evening were meringues filled with custard and topped with strawberries!

Killarney has some great shopping (because no girls weekend would be complete without it). These images are from Sweet Pea & Willow Florist and Gifts.

The views of both the sunrise and sunset were stunning.

What made the house a wonderful retreat were the views of the fowl on the lake. We especially loved watching pairs of the 17 pelicans that reside there. In fact we were thinking that a unique name for the home could be “Pelican View, Killarney Lakehouse”.

Of course any adventure is only as good as the people that you share it with. In this case I would say it was a 10 out of 10!
