Not only will you discover a home away from home, but also a diverse selection of activities and adventures. So don’t wait around! Start booking those summer vacays today!

Brookeville Retreat (East Braintree)

Relax, rejuvenate and even get creative at Brookville Retreat!

This cozy retreat offers guests four small cottages to rent and countless adventures nearby, but the main attraction is the chance to slow down for a bit, unwind, and enjoy the tranquillity of the cottage. Both a nature retreat and writer’s retreat, this is where you can go to reconnect with yourself, family and friends, and nature while being inspired by the natural charm of the area.

Each cottage is named after a place or book (such as A Passage to India, Out of Africa) and is tastefully decorated. The accommodations offer a quaint atmosphere that is sure to relax you while still having modern amenities like heat and air conditioning; in the shared spaces, there is a full kitchen to cook your food, a private refrigerator, and a shared washroom with a shower and a comfy sitting room.

The House That Love Built B&B (St. Pierre Jolys)

One of the best accommodations is bed and breakfasts! Discover a place to unwind, relax, and enjoy some peace and quiet at this Eastern Manitoba gem, also known as The House That Love Built B&B.

During your visit to The House That Love Built, you can experience cozy bedrooms with a fresh yet wholly country environment throughout the whole house. When requested, you can experience breakfasts or full and light meals in al-fresco dining fashion, which is the perfect mix of relaxation, food, and breathtaking nature. You’ll find that many of their meals feature local fresh produce and goods, and, of course, the secret ingredient is love! They are also happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions and are celiac cooks!

Lilac Resort (Ste. Anne)

Lilac Resort has it all! You can enjoy sleeping under the stars while camping, relaxing in style in one of their lodges, or meet in the middle by bringing the RV!

You’ll definitely be happy campers here. For those looking for tent camping and RV hot spots, this is one you cannot pass up. Lilac Resort offers multiple sites for tents, RVs, or a mix of the two, with a wide arrangement of soothing, natural vibes. Whether you’re looking for a secluded, hideaway site for some quiet family time or want to be in the thick of the action across from the Tiki Bar and Kiddie Pool, you can relax the way you deserve.

Not into the camping scene? Don’t sweat! You can still relish in the comforts of this resort by staying in their lodges and cabins. All of their lodges and cabins are equipped with an A/C, Satellite TV, Utensils, linen, bath towels, patio deck furniture, BBQ, fire ring, and picnic table.
