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.

- This place is outstanding among all the places we have stayed in years. Room and kitchen are sparkling clean, super organized. The hosts Dawna and Barry are very thoughtful, having everything anyone needs on road. Their breakfast food are the best quality you can find anywhere. Wonderful business! Will never hesitate to stay here again. Our trip is not very far, coming from Winnipeg, to explore our beautiful country. Riding Mountain is the first place we have visited this summer. Thank you Dawna and Barry for giving us such a pleasant experience! James and Rachelread moreread lessRachel B.6/19/2025We 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.6/07/2025 - It 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.5/29/2025Riding Mountain House is the perfect spring getaway, they provide a lovely living space with fun and relaxing spa features.
The Hosts are friendly and reliable, the bed & breakfast is light and nutritional.
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.3/26/2025 - Fantastic 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.3/13/2025Amazing Gem near Riding Mountain National Park, Riding Mountain House is exemplary! Quiet and peaceful, with the opportunity to explore the park nearby, or just enjoy the wonderful amenities of the Bed and Breakfast. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna in the -30°C weather, which is an amazing experience. The hosts Dawna and Barry are helpful and I know the area well if there's something that you're hoping to experience! Eating breakfast we were able to watch deer crossing the yard. Wonderful place, and we truly hope to return.read moreread lessJames P.2/18/2025Dawna and Barry are great hosts. We got lucky having the whole place to ourselves here over New Year’s Eve. They have a hot tub, sauna and nature all around. The place is quiet and beautifully maintained. It’s like having a place home away from home. Only a short drive to the park. You can encounter wild life all year round if you’re lucky. Highly recommend this place!read moreread lessOlivia P.1/03/2025
- 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!
