Our Story
Meet Eleanore and Randy
Aaron’s on the Lake Bed & Breakfast is a dream come true for your hosts Eleanore and Randy McMahon.
It all started when they were backpacking as a young couple through Europe in 1989. Each time they’d stay at a new bed and breakfast, they’d imagine what it would be like to be the owners. They dreamed of buying property in Gimmelwald, Switzerland, but at the ages of 27 and 29 ultimately decided they would have a more secure life in Canada.
Twenty-eight years and three kids later, Eleanore and Randy’s dream of owning a bed and breakfast has come true!

The cottages are beautifully decorated, the charcuterie delicious and you cannot beat the view of the lake. There is a lovely gazebo with a great view of the lake and pier. We will go back again for sure! read less

Randy and Eleanor are wonderful hosts and the other guests were friendly and welcoming. The rooms are cozy and brimming with old world charm. The gazebo overlooking the lake is a great place to relax with a good book or just listen to the sound of the water. I specifically love how they kept everything as close to the original build as possible with all of the modern amenities. The breakfasts were world class and we will definitely be booking again and again. We give this B&B 5 stars ️ read less

At night, with the windows open, you lay in bed and listen to the waves of Lake Winnipeg lapping right under the windows of the Lakeview room. So peaceful....
The bed was comfortable, amenities are all available in the room and the room was very clean.
Bring your appetite to breakfast! Our delicious, generous portioned breakfasts were served al fresco and prepared with great care with careful attention to detail.
Highly recommend this welcoming and charming B&B. read lessSimone P7/09/2022Quiet, relaxing retreat Aarons on the Lake is a lovely, tucked away gem on the shores of Lake Winnipeg.

We had originally booked to stay for a weekend but then got Covid and had to reschedule. Eleanor and Randy were incredibly accommodating and added us to their cancellation list and we were able to visit just a few weeks later!
We stayed in the Gardenview Room, which had a private veranda that was lovely. The room was very clean and comfortable! Their hot tub was great and faced the water which was so relaxing! We loved meeting Jake as well (the cute pup on site). They also served the best fluffy pancakes I've ever had!!
I would recommend Aarons to anyone looking for a relaxing stay on the lake with friendly, accommodating hosts. More read lesshannahhY905IH5/04/2022
