ciao!travels
set about transforming the 1930s
aesthetic into a space befitting
searches for stylish and rustic
retreats. Now at Lakehouse
Boutique Hotel, cute suites
furnished with reclaimed wood
headboards and cozy kitchenettes
are tucked above a chic lounge
and an ice cream/smoothie bar.
This summer a menu of simple
lounge staples will be added to
the mix (think charcuterie boards
and hefty burgers). Settle on an
Adirondack deck chair with a
scoop of ice cream sandwiched
between still-warm chocolate chip
cookies and contemplate how
perfectly this spot gives classics a
modern twist. staylakehouse.ca
Wandering Wasagaming
Charming townsite of Wasagaming
beckons with sunny patios,
boutique shops, and friendly locals.
Luxuries amidst wilderness satiate
cravings for souvenir hunters
and gourmands. Good mornings
start with a strong cup of organic
coffee and a housemade cinnamon
bun at Whitehouse Bakery. A
walk around town reveals the
continent’s only log cabin movie
theatre, and sweet boutiques like
Moon Lake Trading Co, stuffed
with quirky lawn art and pottery
by Manitoban artists. Foxtail Cafe
is a local hotspot, a second location
for owners Tyler and Julie Kaktins.
New digs mean wood fired pizza,
paninis, and shareable appies are
just a short walk from the lake.
For dessert, make a beeline for
Chocolate Fox. Clear Lake swag
and locally designed Manitobah
mukluks and felted slippers fill half
the shop, but the remainder of the
room is devoted to a cooler filled
with creamy gelato, made in store.
Take your scoop of cioccolato
down to the boardwalk for an
equally sweet view of Clear Lake.
Family Fun
Ensconced in a sleek dining room
with rich wood accents, it’s easy
to feel pampered—even if the
little ones are having French fries
delivered to the table. Par for the
course at Elkhorn Resort, where
indulging ‘me-time’ and catering
to the family are deftly balanced.
Dinner at Ten Steakhouse reveals
local signatures, like Manitoba
pickerel topped with an aromatic
pecan crust. An adults only spa
offers a soak in the mineral pool or
reinvigorating massage. Zig instead
of zag, though, and zen becomes
zany. A new family friendly
waterpark complete with sprays
and swirling slide makes squeals
mandatory. elkhornresort.mb.ca
