BIRD RIVER WATERFRONT COTTAGE FOR RENT
Description
I have a 3br, 1 bathroom(with tub) cottage for rent on the beautiful Bird River which runs off Lake Lac du Bonnet and is connected to it as well as the Lee River and the Winnipeg River.The calm sheltered Bird is about the width of the Red and relatively warm(I've waterskied on May long, unthinkable anywhere else).It's also sheltered-on a very windy day when Lac du Bonnet itself has 3-4 ft whitecaps, the Bird remains calm enough for watersports or taking out a 12 ft boat and going fishing.It also has the nicest scenery in the area-you'll definately need a camera. If you're into birdwatching you'll love it here ( a wide variety of species call this place home which is where the name came from)The place itself has 3 bedrooms, each with a queen(6 people normally) a bathroom, basement with pony walls,F/A furnace and central air so if it hits 35+ you don't roast, you can sleep at night and you can close the windows and use the stereo.Unlike the old days, when you could buy a lot and slap together anything you felt like on any foundation you felt like, with today's building rules you're pretty much building a house not a cabin.It has a fridge stove microwave stereo and a Shaw dish with a zillion channels.It has a dock, deck BBQ, new stone firepit, and a handy boat launch on an inlet that cuts around behind(picture 7).It takes just minutes to get a boat from yard to dock or vice-versa, one reason why I chose this site. ( Note the boats are parked bow out facing into the waves in the pix. Last year-again- someone left his stern out overnight. Waves + thunderstorm= she sank, right alongside the dock. Don't do this to yours) Groceries beer and a surprisingly eclectic variety of liquors are available at Tall Timber-you can get there by boat or car.There's a couple of golf courses in the area as well.Smoking pets and overnight guests are OK-just clean up after Fido.I charge 1100/wk for up to 6 people.Extra people would have to be negotiated. You will also have to bring out you're own bedding and towels. I want 150 to hold it and the rest before departure. Some of us rent out sometimes because we don't like paying for the schools out there as well as back here in Wpg which we do get to use.The Bird River Cottage Owners Assn. has a website with a photo gallery with some more pix.(I have 5-600 myself). On page 1 there's a shot of what is-hopefully at least- the old schoolhouse, not the current one.On page 2 they have a nice aerial shot of the site taken in the late 90's before any of us had bought or built anything yet.The ad is new so everything is open for now.I can also be reached at 204-667-5253 here in Wpg. Thanks for reading all this.
