Great location and friendly hosts

Liked: Really friendly hosts and a great location. We appreciated being able to use the washing machine and dryer. Staying in this 120 year old house was a delightful experience, just hope we didn’t disturb others with our frequent trips up and down the squeaky stairs!
Disliked: It wasn’t possible to watch the NBA playoffs on the TV in the room. Also, I am not a fan of lavender-scented sheets and towels.

This was a repeat visit...

Good value for money

Liked: Breakfast was amazing and Vahid is a wonderful host. Overall the home is beautiful. Its clear that Vahid loves what he does and is truly focused on making it a great experience. I definitely felt welcome.
Disliked: First impressions were not great - the lawn was uncut and paint peeling from the front porch. My room was spacious but there was a weird odor - I'm not sure if it was the wildfires - and the carpet although vacuumed looked stained. I sat in one of the front rooms (front sun room) and part of the ceiling was falling apart. It wasn't a good look.

Superb

Grand Place to Stay Near...

Liked: Vahid, the owner, was welcoming and helpful both in messages before our arrival and throughout our stay. Our room was large and comfortable - the whole property comfortable and tastefully appointed from the living and dining rooms and the second floor bar room. The continental breakfast was plentiful with many options.
Disliked: Not about the property and we were disappointed that the path along the neighboring Assiniboine River was not thr good/nice place we hoped it would be.

Exceptional

Liked: Extremely nice host, very hospitable and helpful. The place was comfortable, felt like home away from home.

Superb

Liked: Our host, Vahid, was incredibly friendly and helpful, truly making our 8-night stay memorable. The facilities and our room were lovely—comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Excellent!

Liked: The house and room were amazing. The ownership was very personable and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent as well as the company and conversations. I will stay again when back in town!

Friendly and professional hosts.

Liked: Good breakfast, nice neighborhood

Beautiful house

Liked: Beautiful period house. Just our style. Leaded glass, high ceilings, wood paneling...sigh. So beautiful. Renovations are being done outside, and this just added to the "WOW" factor, picturing what it will all look like. Marcia was great to chat with over coffee outside, overlooking the Assiniboine River, talking about the updates to come. We had a large room, the bathroom had heated floors and walk-in shower ( good for older folks like us), and a comfortable bed. No complaints. On the second floor is a common area with comfortable sofs and chairs, a coffee bar, and board games to play. We weren't able to take advantage of this space due to our schedule this visit. Otherwise, we definitely would have spent time relaxing there. Vahid was very helpful during check-in and at breakfast, helping make the coffees and showing us what was available in the kitchen. Continental breakfast is offered with lots of options. There are also several really good breakfast spots a 5 minute walk away if you would like something more substantial. We needed to iron some clothes, and they offered both iron or clothes steamer options, which you don't normally see. We are already planning to book again next time we are in Winnipeg.
Disliked: Parking is a bit tricky due to some renovations, BUT this is temporary, and Vahid was super helpful directing us, and once we had 'our spot,' it was ours for the duration of the stay.
