"We decided very last minute to go tubing on Friday afternoon for my belated birthday gift. The Wilderness Edge staff made it possible; Kelly showed us everything we needed to do. It was pretty much seamless (except being told to hide our keys). The tubing was incredibly fun and relaxing and scenic. Hands down, it’s now one of my favourite things to do in Manitoba. After posting pics on social media, several of my friends contacted me to see how they could have the same experience. We will be back."
"Wilderness Edge is an escape from the hustle and bustle of Winnipeg only one hour away, amazing! There is so much to do here: kayaking, hiking, canoeing, biking, rowing, golfing or you can just relax in their wonderful hot tub! The staff is very friendly making you feel right at home. The food is most delicious! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Wilderness Edge. The rooms are very spacious with great views. We had a small kitchen and a living room in our room, which was really convenient. Would HIGHLY recommend this place!"

Their rooms are very clean and well kept. The food they serve is very delicious! Their location is ideal for taking a stroll along the river which is always in view. We enjoyed our stay here and can't wait to visit this lovely place again with the most friendly staff."

The staff do their best to accommodate guest's requests, including dietary restrictions & allergies. Wilderness Edge doesn't set out to be a luxury hotel, but they certainly work to provide a comfortable and welcoming experience to everyone who walks through their doors. It's a great location, great value for money and if you stay the weekend, you will never leave hungry. Thanks for helping us facilitate a wonderful retreat for our folks!"
