Fabulous accommodations and location!

We love staying at this cottage! The cottage itself is spotless and the bed were so comfortable. They provide absolutely everything you’d ever need for a great vacation. Tons of room for everyone in the open concept living room and eating area, and a great deck with lots of furniture to sit and take in the beautiful lake. It’s seconds from the beach and minutes away from the town of Gimli. We’ve stayed here twice and hope to make Tom’s fabulous cottage our annual home away from home.

A great place for family

Hard to find a good cabin that has enough bedrooms and dining space for a family of 6, and this cabin fits the bill to a tee. Had everything we need, beds were very comfy, great dining table to eat and play games and wonderful living room to socalize. A beautiful view of the lake and tons of great restaurants and shops close by. We went in the winter and the ice fishing village so close is great. Fenced in yard for our dog was very nice. Host there for anything you need.

Beautiful Cottage in the Perfect Location

Our family had a great stay in Gimli and really enjoyed that the cottage was close to downtown but in the more quiet section of the beach. We could not have asked for a better cottage to meet our needs. Tom was very responsive to our messages and questions and was so nice to communicate with. We will be back next year!

Spacious and well equipped cabin by the lake

My family met in Gimli for the Islendigadaugarinn from Thursday to Monday. We really enjoyed staying at the cabin by the Lake Escape. We spent a lot of time on the big deck overlooking Lake Winnipeg. Everyone had a comfy bed to sleep in. The kitchen is well stocked. It was busy this weekend at the beach with people setting up their picnics next to the fence so it was noisy at times. We enjoyed the people watching so it wasn’t a problem for us. The hosts were very prompt in replying to my questions. Overall a great place to stay for a family reunion.

Amazing . . . exceeded our expectations in every way!

I'm submitting the review on behalf of an adult group (7 in party) of well-travelled Vrbo clients. . . . Our three-night stay was amazing and we concluded that although the listing is 100-percent accurate it cannot do justice to the spectacular lake view, walkability, and the spaciousness, airiness, comfort of the cottage for special occasions. With unseasonably sunny/warm weather for early June, the cottage remained cool with great cross-ventilation. For those who prefer it cooler, AC is available. A perfect choice for families of all ages although in order to accommodate larger groups, accessing an upper bunk will be required! The owner truly deserves rave reviews for incredible attention-to-details, personal and timely communication, and a willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that guests' expectations are not just met but surpassed.

Our stay here was absolutely amazing and more than we had imagined. The home easily accomodated a group of 7 adults. It was nice to have a bar area with a fridge near the patio for easy access to refreshments. The patio area was large and had lots of seating; we spent a lot of time out there!! The house was definitley set up for entertaining a group of adults, but I could also easily see bringing my family (two young boys) here as well. Being so close to the beach and several blocks to the shops and restaurants meant we could walk everywhere we needed to take in most of what Gimli had to offer. It was an a solutley perfect stay and we hope to make this an annual trip!!

Worst VRBO experience in 20 years

This cottage is extremely noisy. There is a constant sound of pumps running. We turned off heat, AC and HRV. Not sure if it is sump pump or if other pump was the cause of noise (perhaps radon removal pump?). One night it sounded like water pipes were bursting at 4 am. I can only think water heater was continuously dumping and filling up, but various rooms of cottage are locked up so could not determine cause of noise. Impossible to sleep in this this cottage, even with ear plugs.

Fantastic stay in Gimli

We had a wonderful time staying at Cheryl and Tom's place in Gimli. Tom was quick to respond to any questions we had prior to and during our stay. The check-in process was exactly as described and the place was clean and perfect for our needs (4 adults plus children). We loved the location - directly across a public path from the beach, walking distance to a playground/splashpad or to the ice cream / fish & chips. Highly recommend Cheryl and Tom's place and look forward to going back there again!
