The perfect homebase
Your Hosts
Hello, we are Dawna and Barry Skrudland, your hosts at Riding Mountain House. We invite you to experience one of the most comfortable and conveniently located properties in Clear Lake Country. Since we reside on the property, we are available to answer questions, help you navigate the area and make recommendations for local attractions. We look forward to welcoming you to an adult-only getaway where you can rest, recharge and explore. Come share this four season paradise with us and experience all that Riding Mountain National Park has to offer.
Dawna and Barry

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.

We would love to come back in the fall with some more people. read lessDylan N.1/05/2023Went up for a couple days in the winter and had a wonderful time.

Access to the hot tub was a huge plus especially at night time You are close to riding mountain but still far enough for some quiet relaxation. We would highly recommend staying here. read lessJasmyn W.12/30/2022

The B&B was very clean. The Pine room is dog-friendly and was well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast was perfect for a day of hiking. And Dawna was a wonderful host.
And we were probably only 2-3 minutes from the south gate of the park.
We will certainly be back next fall for another stay. read lessMorgan R.10/30/2022Dawna was a lovely host - always available but never hovering.

We rode our bikes from Riding Mountain House to Wasagaming (2-3 kms) thru a very nice path which is part of the Onanole Trail. The room was spotlessly clean, bed was comfortable, had our own bathroom, used a shared kitchen, could help ourselves to breakfast whenever we got up, the screened sun room was a wonderful place to chat with other guests, read a book, have our breakfast. There is a barrel sauna, hot tub, and fire pit for guests to use. Lawn games were also available. We were there end of September 2022. read lessfrieda d.10/16/2022 - Beautiful set up with access to kitchen when needed and outside living.

No detail was spared and you can tell she has put a lot of thought and energy into making the home very welcoming and comfortable for guests. Along with 2 friends and their dog, we stayed 2 nights and could have stayed longer. Located on the edge of a subdivision, the house offers very tranquil and relaxing atmosphere a stones throw from Riding Mountain Provincial Park. We enjoyed our meals in the enclosed porch overlooking the yard. A continental breakfast was included, comprising cereals, fruit, muffins, delicious scones, granola bars and bread for toast. A full size refrigerator in the kitchen meant we could buy food to prepare light dinners or use the bbq. There was also a sauna, hot tub, fire pit and special doggy zone by the parking area. Our only complaint was the AC, in the evenings it was freezing until it was turned off around 10.30. read lessMichele9/23/2022It's was a wonderful place to stay, relaxing, so clean and quite.

We started our trip going on a long hike up to bald hill and checked in later than excepted but Dawna was very accommodating and welcoming. We stayed in the birch room- large, spotless and the bed was comfortable. The on site amenities were great especially the hot tub which was nice to soak in after an active day in the park. The breakfast, nespresso machine, screened in porch, and fire pit were a nice touch. Just a few min drive to clear lake. Thanks for hosting us and we are looking forward to coming back. read lessmike b.7/26/2022Fabulous Beautiful location close to the Park. Superb accommodations - room was spacious and comfortable.

The pet friendly suite was wonderful for the two of us and our dog (65lb pup!). We loved that breakfast was available when we needed it instead of scheduled like so many other B and Bs. The accessibility to the kitchen and its contents made it nice to be able to make ourselves snacks, lunch or, dinner whenever we wanted. Great assortment of breakfast choices! Loved the beautiful well-taken care of property. All the extras were great - hot tub, sauna, fire pits, and giant porch! Rooms were great and clean! All the extras like makeup wipes and robes made it even more lovely! Highly recommend this place and we hope to go back soon! read lessCaitlin C.5/25/2022Very happy with our experience at Riding Mountain House. Great location just minutes from RMNP.

It’s those thoughtful touches that will keep guests coming back-along with the exceptional cleanliness and spectacular location and amenities.
Your immediate response to any wrinkles and prompt communication was much appreciated as well. It was quite evident throughout my stay that every effort is made to ensure a stress-free, peaceful and pleasurable retreat. I am already looking forward to my return.
