Manitoba Getaway!

We decided last minute to book a room up at Lakeview Resort Hecla so we could have a much needed getaway and enjoy some nature. We do love it there and they allow us to bring our dogs. The dog friendly rooms are laminate and tile so they don't get stinky like some other dog friendly places.

Because we booked so last minute we just got a room, not a suite which was fine since it was just for one night. It still had a very nice tub/shower and a fridge so we could keep the dog food in the freezer.

The hotel was full so overall it was noisier then when we have gone in the past. We were at the end of the hall by the stairs and door to outside so we heard it open and close a lot. It was handy for taking out the dogs though.




I enjoyed their adult only spa and pool area. They have a variety of pools ranging from hot tub to arctic pool. I love their salt pool. And the spray they have in the sauna is so refreshing. Jamus enjoyed a nap after the long drive.

Then we went to explore the area. We went to Hecla Village and checked out the docks and saw lots of people fishing. We saw an eagle checking things out from the top of a pool near the lake. We enjoyed the pelicans and watched a fisherman bring in his nets. The dogs loved exploring and the walking on the paths near the lake.

 

We did a movie night in the room to hang with the dogs and ordered room service. The food was really good. I had the Manitoba Walleye and Jamus had a burger. 

We ordered room service for breakfast as well since taking the dogs to the restaurant isn't appropriate. If the trip wasn't so last minute I would have been more prepared and brought something we could have made in the microwave as I have done in the past. But their food is great so it wasn't a hardship! 

The drive home we took our time and went to check out Camp Morton as we have a cabin booked there in August. Then we went to Gimli and took the dogs for a walk along the lake, got gas and a snack for the ride home. Then we ended up going into Winnipeg Beach to see if anyone was on The Gator at the marina. They had already left so we kept on going and finished the day by stopping for dinner at Half Moon in Lockport. It was a short trip but we made the most of it and had a blast.
