The Area
Riding Mountain House is just steps away from Riding Mountain National Park where guests can enjoy easy access to the park. A two-minute drive to the park gate or walk to downtown Wasagaming and Clear Lake via the Onanole Trail. You are 1.5 km from restaurants, shops, a movie theatre, museums, a marina and a beach. The area is well known for wildlife like black bears, moose, elk, and so much more. The park offers extensive hiking and bike trails in the summer and cross-country ski, skating and snowshoe trails in the winter. Rent a paddleboard or kayak in the park and head to one of the many lakes nearby and let your adventure begin. Or rent a fat bike in the winter and go explore.
- My husband and I enjoyed staying at the B&B. We were welcomed and treated like family. The room and bathroom were clean and good sized, (great every room had its own private bathroom). The continental breakfast was excellent! We will be staying when we next visit our friend.

My Husband and I recently stayed at this B & B and our experience was fantastic! Our room was spacious and comfortable, the screened in porch lovely to have a glass of wine and unwind, and the hot tub and sauna were just what the doctor ordered after coming back from time spent in the park. The owners Barry and Dawna were the perfect hosts, giving us our space and checking in periodically to see how our day went. We would highly recommend this little gem if you are planning a trip to Riding Mountain National Park!

- We had the most incredible stay at Riding Mountain House, truly a spectacular bed and breakfast in Wasagaming. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything about Riding Mountain House felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated. The space has great anatomies and with a cozy country decor, everything felt intentional and inviting.
The location is unbeatable, just minutes from the entrance to Riding Mountain National Park, but still tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private.
The hot tub and dry sauna was such a treat after a day exploring Wasagaming. The continental breakfast each morning was amazing, with a generous selection and fresh pastries. There were lots of thoughtful extras too like a great selection of games, a hair dryer available in the room, and beautiful communal spaces to relax in.
Host Dawna was an absolute gem. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure guests feel at home. Her attention to detail shows in every part of the experience.
If you're looking for a truly amazing escape- this is it. We'll definitely be back!read moreread lessClaire A.6/07/2025It was an amazing and unforgettable experience in Riding Mountain House. We arrived at a windy and rainy night, the owner greeted us with a warm welcome and detailed introduction of the place. The suite was so cozy, clean with a powerful electric heater.
We really enjoyed that wonderful hot tub after a road trip and hiking. As the jets massage tired muscles, stress melts away, replaced by a deep sense of calm. BBQ and fire pit are highlighted too, gave us opportunities to cook dinner and tried the marshmallows for the first time in my life! The breakfast was provided with a variety of coffee, tea, milk, yogurt, cereal, bread, boiled eggs, freshly cut fruits, muffins, quiches etc.
Location is close to Wasagaming area and information center, wishing well and many lakes. We saw a mom bear with 2 cubs on the way back from moon lake to the house.
We have already shared our amazing experience with my colleagues and friends ! Hope the owner can get more and more customers! We will come back sometime in the winter!read moreread lessLi L.5/29/2025 - Riding Mountain House is the perfect spring getaway, they provide a lovely living space with fun and relaxing spa features.

Spacious, calm and very close to Clear Lake / Riding Mountain I would recommend this to couples and families for the ultimate gathering place.read moreread lessJessica L.4/09/2025This place was perfect. Clean rooms, lots of different breakfast options , delicious coffee and breakfast was set out and ready nice and early. I love that this place is located in a quieter area but so close to the town. The sauna and hot tub was wonderful too. Not many places allow dogs and this place has a room that does, so it was perfect we could bring our dog along. Lovely hosts with a lovely bed and breakfast , it was our first time staying in one and I’d definitely stay again at this place. Highly recommend!read moreread lessTasha R.3/26/2025Fantastic spot to stay while you’re visiting the park. Rooms are clean, breakfast was served early and gave us a good variety of options. Barry is as friendly as they come and gave us a thorough rundown of how to use everything. The Hot tub and sauna are nice bonus. Hiking options are a very short drive. Best place to stay in the park!read moreread lessSam C.3/13/2025
