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.

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.
- I have officially lost count of how many times I have stayed at Riding Mountain House. This year it has been three times (and counting) and each time it feels like coming home! Dawna and Barry have created a beautiful place to stay with thought to every detail. The variety of breakfast options, the hot tub and sauna, the outdoor games and bikes to borrow, the amazing large sunroom where we love to relax and visit or play games, the thoughtful details in the beautiful rooms from robes to white noise machine to mini fridge to bottled water… they have thought of everything! The place is always immaculate and the hosts friendly and welcoming. Of course we will be back!!!read moreread lessCélina M.10/07/2024Had a wonderful stay at Riding Mountain House. The atmosphere was so peaceful, and the area is beautiful. The hosts are friendly, supplied a wonderful breakfast and shared tips on fun hiking spots in the park and good local food suggestions to try out. The sauna & hot tub were lovely to use after an afternoon of hiking and we loved that this place is dog friendly! Thank you Barry & Dawna for a wonderful stay!read moreread lessHaley T.9/23/2024
- We loved our stay at riding mountain house! We stayed in the pine room and it was spacious and we appreciated the little touches that were left for us. The whole property is beautiful and we loved the location as it was quiet and peaceful but also close to the town of clear lake and onanole.read moreread lessKaitlyn B.9/10/2024
- We had a great experience at Barry & Dawna’s B&B. The house was beautiful, very clean & spacious. They have a hot tub & sauna as well as a complimentary breakfast with many choices. We really loved relaxing in the sun porch which was huge, we definitely had our spot. Barry & Dawna were very welcoming & helpful. It was minutes from the park which was really nice. We give it a 10 out of 10 and will definitely be back 😀read moreread lessken D.8/13/2024
- What a great place to stay - we were driving across Canada and made a last minute reservation in the evening. Dawna was amazing accommodating us. The hottub and sauna were a delight to relax in after many hours on the road. Breakfast the next morning was so vibrant and healthy (what a relief and such a nice change hotel breakfasts that are essentially all colourless foods) and felt like home. Riding Mountain National Park was just a few minutes away and easy to get to. Highly recommend.read moreread lessDionne G.8/09/2024Last month we had the pleasure of staying at this lovely BnB, hosted by a friendly couple! Since it was the first time we'd visited this area, Dawna and Barry were so helpful in suggesting things we might want to see and do in this beautiful area. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. All in all it was a great experience that will be remembered!

- Weekend trip in April with the ladies to visit the area and try out the new Klar So Spa. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and wish we had more time to enjoy the premises and surrounding area! Of note we had the 4 rooms to ourselves. We will most definitely come back! Wonderful hosts! Thank you so much!

This was my second time staying with Dawna and Barry and it just reminded me why I keep going back. The rooms are impeccable, the amenities are more than we could ask for, and they make sure we had everything we needed to have a great weekend. Thank you for going above and beyond!read moreread lessEmily H.3/19/2024
- We had a lovely weekend away at riding moutain house. The room was lovely, clean and cozy. Shower pressure and hot water were perfect! Hot tub and barrel sauna were great for relaxing. Dawna and Barry were both delightful, and eager to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to returning at a different time of year to enjoy the screened in porch.read moreread lessMatthew L.3/05/2024We had such a lovely stay at Riding Mountain House! It is not far from the waterfront and is a nice walk to Wasagaming. Dawna was a great host, giving us all info we needed for the property and surrounding area and activities. She made sure we knew she was always available and near if we needed anything while still giving us plenty of privacy— not to mention the great breakfast spread she put out daily. The room was nice and had everything we needed, but the real stars of the show for us were the beautifully maintained hot tub and sauna! Perfect for our winter getaway. Thank you Riding Mountain House.read moreread lessLindsey W.1/26/2024
