Spacious Northern Retreat

You will love listening to the loons calling on the lake as you sip your morning coffee on the huge deck. Finish the day with a backyard fire. This modern house is steps from the shores of Beaver Lake. This well appointed house is developed on 3 floors and sleeps 7. The town of Lac La Biche is 5-7 minutes away, for groceries, state-of-the-art recreation centre, and all amenities. Load up the kiddos, the dog and the fishing tacle, and hook up your boat! Come on up to beautiful Lac La Biche County for a relaxing get-away! House has high speed internet, triple garage, air conditioning, and a Bar-B-Que on the deck. Its a quiet neighbourhood 2 km from the highway 881 (to Fort McMurray). Well-known park on an island, Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park, is 15 km away.

Fantastic place to stay in Lac La Biche!

This property was exactly as advertised. No surprises. Ruth was an amazing host! She was very responsive and accommodating to our slightly shifting schedule. We were in town for an archery tournament and Ruth even went above and beyond to provide us with folding chairs and a pop-up canopy that we could take to the range for some added comfort! The house was spacious and immaculate. The neighbourhood was very peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend this property. You'll be happy you stayed there!

Great rental property

Stayed for 2 nights in June 2025. Great rental property. Hosts were very responive. Everything was as advertized and more. Nice to have use of a garage. Driveway was large enough to park two trucks and boats. Really good boat launch was only 5 mins away. Beaver lake is a beautiful lake. Fishing was good. Would highly recommend this property. Will probably stay there again.

Amazing Home!

This was truly a home away from home. So cozy, welcoming and comfortable. The host, Ruth has truly thought of everything to ensure a great stay and has stocked the home with everything imaginable, right down to doggie dishes, toothbrushes, books and games. The pantry was even stocked with dry goods and spices/seasonings. The home is nicely decorated, the beds are comfortable and Ruth was very responsive to my messages, before, during and after our stay. I would recommend Ruth and this property 100 times over and we will be back!

Perfection!

Stayed here a weekend with some family and everything was absolutely perfect! The house is very spacious as shown, the teens liked the bed and bath in the furnished basement. Lake access was very close and nice for canoeing. Gorgeous views from upstairs! I would 100% recommend and rebook it.

Quite location and nicely maintained house. My family enjoyed the stay in the vacation home. The house is clean and huge. Kitchen is well equipped with utensils and cooking needs. My kids really liked the bonus room and spent a lot of time watching Netflix when we weren't out to the park. Driving to the provincial park is convenient and we spent days in the park and nights in the house. Ruth, the host, is really nice and easy to communicate to. We left our sous vide cooker in the house and Ruth brought it back to us to Edmonton. Overall, 5 stars for the house and host. It's our yearly camping destination with other 3 families and we will definitely consider renting the house again if we don't stay in the park lake cabin. Well worth the month renting the big house than staying in Ramada hotel in Lac La Biche.

Wonderful Christmas Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely house over the Christmas break! The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet neighborhood yet close to local attractions and shops. The house was beautifully furnished, making it feel warm and inviting.The amenities were top-notch. We enjoyed cozy nights by the fireplace and had all the kitchen tools we needed to prepare our festive meals. The spacious living area was perfect for family gatherings, and the bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed.The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, providing detailed instructions and local recommendations that enhanced our stay.Overall, this rental exceeded our expectations for a holiday getaway. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home during the festive season!
