Charming 100-year old farmhouse not far from Riding Mountain National Park, quiet, peaceful, nice farmland views, comfortable beds, inclusive afternoon teas, delicious breakfast from farm-fresh ingredients…outstanding hospitality!

An oasis of calm

We were in Manitoba to visit my husband’s mother and visit where his parent’s grew up. We had visited but not stayed at the Fairmount Bed and Breakfast site in the past when we lived in Manitoba so we were excited to visit again. My husband booked our stay through Trip Advisor/Hotels.com after seeing the great reviews. 

The breakfast was very nice and we met a nice couple from Edmonton, however I was not impressed with the accommodations.
We were told immediately that we could not wear our shoes inside the facility. It was hot and muggy inside the house.  I asked for a fan which helped but it was difficult to fit it in the small room which had only one chair. The bathrooms were shared and were not cleaned daily. The supper we had there was overpriced. 

Susan was eager to share her knowledge of the history of the area, but as soon as she knew we lived in the US she would not stop putting the country down. It was very stressful. 

Finally at the end of the trip after we payed in cash, she recalled that we had booked on-line and insisted we pay her booking fee for Hotels.com! 

Perhaps the Fairmount B&B was a good place to stay twenty years ago,but I would not recommend this place now.

Back to Manitoba Roots

The property is cute and well maintained and in a nice setting. Mosquitoes were quite bad but that is summer in Manitoba.  As expected for a farm property, it is pretty isolated. The rooms were nice but quite small. Bathroom facilities were good but you have to share. This is an authentic, vintage farmhouse so that wasn’t a surprise. No air conditioning. Manitoba summers can sometimes be quite hot so keep this in mind if you like things cool in your room. 

The meals were ok. Do not eat dinner here as Susan really overcharges for what she serves. And all must be paid in cash. She does not take credit card. 

Why the 1 star? Well, when we go on vacation we like to get away from the stresses of home. Our host however, could not resist talking politics. She complimented social programs in Cuba. She insisted on hounding us about gun and crime problems in America and referred to my wife and I as “you Americans.” She referred to herself as a Social Democrat, which in America is a Democratic Socialist. I frankly don’t care about her political views but she just couldn’t quit. It was frustrating and I was forced to defend America from attacks from a Canadian socialist with an incomplete understanding of the issues.

I would not recommend a stay at the Fairmount Bed and Breakfast unless, of course, you like debating politics on vacation and you have similar views as the host. My wife and I will never stay there again.

Politics and vacation do not mix

So we actually did not visit in August 2021 - that was the last date I could pick under 'When did you travel' -  we stayed here for a family wedding several years ago and I had been meaning to write a review as this was such a beautiful place.  We were attending a family wedding in Russel Manitoba and even though this was a bit of a car ride it was totally worth it.  This inn is amazing and a breathtaking place.  It situated on a small sheep farm. My husband and I and our kids loved the place. We had the whole attic to ourselves that is ideally furnished for a family. I loved walking around the farm and chatting with the wonderful host. The food she made for us was also amazing.  

I highly recommend this B&B - we would definitely return if we had the occasion to visit that area again.

Fantastic B&B in wonderful peaceful location in Minnedosa Manitoba

If you are looking for an amazing bed and breakfast, than look no further. The fair mount bed and breakfast is an amazing place to stay. The host is amazingly accommodating and is also very kind. Both my wife and I stayed here and we both enjoyed it very much as the atmosphere is relaxing and quite peaceful. Although out of the way, it’s quiet and has an amazing scenery. The rate is very reasonable as well as is the breakfast. I highly recommend it as it is a very family friendly place to be.

Weekend getaway

My wife and I stayed at Fairmount B&B and were treated like a royal couple.  Susan grilled lamb chops sourced from the sheep on her small farm.  The rooms were comfortable and clean.  Large trees shade the B&B which adjoins a beautiful stocked pond.  You can take short walks past a Manitoba Land Rush Cabin and the sheep.  My wife takes photographic trips in the neighboring prairie plains, forests, parks, and towns.

Wonderful B&B on Beautiful Pond

My husband and I have stayed at the Faimount B&B a couple of times and enjoyed both visits. Susan is the ultimate hostess, making you feel welcome and at home. The accommodations are immaculate and comfortable. Susan prepares great home cooked meals. The property is well manicured and maintained. Susan is very knowledgeable about the area and can be very helpful. I definitely recommend a stay at Fairmount B&B and I look forward to our next visit

Wonderful B&B, perfect for a quiet getaway.

Off the road but worth the drive. Friendly host and you also have access to the farm yard with the sheep and dog. Nice walk along the road by the slough to view the sunset. Shower is shared. If you are offered supper, ask for the price so you aren't surprised in the morning.

Very friendly visit

This is a clean, quaint and reasonably priced place to stay when in Manitoba.  I fell in love with Pepper, the dog who lives outside and protects the sheep.  The breakfast is homemade and oh so good!  I loved the choke cherry syrup on the waffles.  It's a little out of town which is good if you are looking to get away and is not technicalogically advanced; which is good if you need to be away from that too.  I was having withdrawals.  I would, however, definatley go back.  Very relaxing.
