Selkirk Accommodations

Named after Thomas Douglas, the fifth Earl of Selkirk who relocated hundreds of Scottish and Irish settlers to the shore of the Red River, this town is steeped in the rich fur trade history of the region. Lower Fort Garry was created because of flooding and economic problems at Fort Garry (in Winnipeg).

Today, stone buildings, and guides in period costume greet visitors in a convincing 1850s atmosphere. Selkirk has one of two operating lift bridges in North America, as well as the Marine Museum of Manitoba with six former lake vessels open for exploration.

A quiet Selkirk B&B on 2 acres of property, only 30 minutes from Winnipeg. In the morning you will smell a hearty breakfast. Out of your bedroom window you will see the wildlife of the land. Being on the Red River you will also see a pelican having breakfast in between the fishing boats going by. At night you can have a bonfire on the bank while gazing at the stars. There is a BBQ and a fridge.
