You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Ox + Bow in Portage la Prairie

This private suite is situated at the edge of a small city along the banks of an oxbow on the Assiniboine River. The massive picture window in the living room frames a view of the private deck and river that seems to erase the walls of the space and transport the outside in.


This suite is on the lower level of a large home. It includes a large living/dining space, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with rainfall shower and laundry facilities, and one bedroom with a king bed. The living room has a pull out couch for extra sleeping space. The suite and its deck are private and for guest use only. Guests are welcome to share the yard, hot tub, and paddle boat.


The Ox + Bow suite is accessed via a door with keypad lock that will be set with a personalized lock code. There is parking provided at the front of the home.


My partner and I, parents, and dog live on the same yard. We respect our guests desire and expectation of privacy but are available for whatever our guests would need.


Portage la Prairie is a small city in the Central Plains Region of Manitoba, Canada. The community sits on the Assiniboine River, and is a 15 minute drive to Delta Marsh and Beach on Lake Manitoba. Portage is home to festivals, recreation opportunities, a golf course, sports tournaments, and museums including the Indian Residential School Museum of Canada.


Our vacation rental is located about 1 km outside of the city proper on a quiet rural cul-de-sac on the banks of an oxbow of the Assiniboine River. There is no through traffic and the street has access to a myriad of walking and biking trails. Our neighbourhood is located on paved roads with easy access to both the city and the highway. We are fully serviced by delivery services for restaurants as well as taxis.


The Ox + Bow is located on Treaty 1 territory and is the ancestral home of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples and is the homeland of the Métis Nation. Our family is descended from Mennonite refugees who were invited here by the Canadian government and welcomed by the ancestral keepers of this land. We are working to incorporate the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Committee into our business.

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Load the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Remove personal items and remove leftover food and drinks
We ask our guests to load their dishes in the dishwasher but please don't start it. We sanitize dishes between guests and want to conserve our water usage.
We ask that guests place all used towels and linens in the hampers. There is no need to strip the beds or load the washer.
We ask that guests tie up their garbage bag and wipe up any spills. We won't be able to clean until after our work day and these two actions help us prevent staining and clean faster.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place. Charis and Chris were wonderful to deal with. It is just as the pictures show - comfortable, clean, and includes all you need. The Nespresso maker and variety of teas was a treat. The hot tub and hot sauna overlooking the lake were incredible. And we had fun playing on the arcade! Beautiful location, so many thoughtful details, and comfortable. Can't wait to return!
Sunrise. And so many birds to see and hear.
Listening to records. Nice selection.
Nespresso machine and pods. Sooo good.
Live pup tv. 😁

Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed a relaxing stay! A perfect spring getaway using the hot tub and sauna while taking in the view over the lake. Although it is a shared back yard space, the hosts were friendly and we pretty much had the space to ourselves. We will definitely be back!
