About this property

Valley View & Sauna Retreat

Welcome to Moose Jaw's hidden gem - Wakamow Valley. Your home is in the city of Moose Jaw, but right on the edge of the historic valley facing South. Filled with plenty of soft sunlight and open skies. UPDATE: a freshly built outdoor cedar sauna is now also available for guest use!

*For baby/ kid supplies, please read below...

THE SPACE
A unique home on a quiet street. The back yard faces Wakamow Valley with big open skies visible from outside and in, you can view Saskatchewan's stunning sunrises/sunsets (and may even notice a few deer passing through or sleeping in the yard).
If you're lucky, you could have a private air show from the Snowbirds as they love practising over the valley! Star gazing, storm watching and northern lights viewing encouraged!

This home has been renovated specifically for you - my guests to have a relaxing and calming experience. You'll find a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook and make meals from home including spices and pantry basics.

FEAURED LOCAL ARTISTS:
This past year I have set up a mini shop inside the home that features a few potters and artists from around the city and Valley. It runs on the honour system and is a great way to gift yourself or friends and family! Wrapping paper and supplies provided.


BABY FRIENDLY EQUIPMENT / SUPPLIES PROVIDED:
High chair, baby cups, plates, utensils, bibs, baby gate, Pack n play crib, change table with diaper wipes and diaper cream, small garbage bags for diaper disposal, various toys and building blocks, books for all developmental ages, portable baby bath tub, baby shampoo and wash, bath toys, baby towels and wash cloths.
If there is anything you are wondering about or needing for your littles please reach out and I will do my best to provide it during your stay!


**FOR BOOKINGS WITH 5 GUESTS**
The main floor bedroom room can also comfortably fit a highly quality queen size inflatable mattress to sleep 1-2 more if need be. This is an excellent choice for families with children. Please note it is an additional $50 for this set up.


GUEST ACCESS:
Private entrance. Private driveway and carport. Plenty of free on street parking as well.


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Once two separate homes, they were combined in the 1980's and expanded. Since purchasing this home in 2020, we have turned it into a duplex. Your home will be one side, with one shared wall. Our homes are completely separate with their own entrances etc. There is no access to either homes from the inside. The yard is shared but guests have multiple seating areas outside to choose from.

Feel free to explore the 2.5 lot and enjoy the garden in the summer months. There will always be wood chopped and ready for a bonfire, no matter the season :)

I was very impressed with both the property and the host! We were welcomed with a hand drawn personalized note and fresh baked bread with butter & jam on the side… the first of many special little touches in this rental that had all the comforts of home. We also took advantage of and enjoyed the outdoor features that this rental had to offer… sitting in the Adirondack chairs and enjoying a beautiful view of the river valley, a fire in the fire pit and we also relaxed in the sauna. All in all, we throughly enjoyed our stay at and would highly recommend this VRBO rental!

This property exceeded my expectation. Gemma was amazing to deal with and so inviting. Upon arrival, there was the most delicious homemade bread with preserves and a hand written welcome note waiting for me. A heavenly gift after a long day travelling. House was quiet, clean and well stocked with a variety of books and local treasures on display for purchase. What an amazing experience. I will for sure book again next time I’m in Moose Jaw SK

Gemma adds such nice touches that make you feel so welcome. She has thought of supplying so many things to make your stay great or that a person might need - like spices in the kitchen, bandages in the bathroom, books to read, writing supplies, toys and games for kids/families. The best part about this place is the deck overlooking the river valley. It really is a retreat! So quiet, peaceful and relaxing!

Quiet scenic space

I was wanting a quiet , nice space with a view vs the usual hotel experience. I found a lovely oasis at the edge of town with a porch , an amazing view of a green space and the wide open sky. Clean, beautifully decorated and host had freshly baked bread waiting for me when I arrived!! Can’t beat that greeting. My stay was short but if I find myself back in the area I will most definitely try and book this spot!

This property is so beautifully decorated and stocked perfectly. Everything you need, plus more! The view is lovely, and the host puts an extra touch if welcome in to your arrival with fresh bread and jam. Fair trade coffee beans for you and even cream in the fridge. Lots of beautiful art and pottery, games and books. Would absolutely stay here again!! Thank you Gemma:)

Pleasant, comfortable , clean

The covered back deck called to us as we entered the home with comfy seating and a spectacular view. We enjoyed the hiking trail around Wakamow Valley Park despite the mosquitos. The home was well and tastefully decorated and equipped. The fresh baked bread with jam and honey was a super touch. Beds were comfy, linens fresh and clean. I would love to come back here again. Thank you Gemma for providing this oasis in the City.

Country feel while being in a City

Picture a loaf of fresh baked bread, with jam and butter waiting for you. You look out the windows and there before you is a panoramic view of a beautiful river valley. You will feel like you are in the country cottage. This is the experience you will have when you enter this property. This home is a wonderful quiet place to stay. The Hosts are very welcoming and accessible, the kitchen is fully stocked and the beds are soooo comfortable. A perfect place for family and friends to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Gemma Reichel

Host profile image

Hey! I'm Gemma.

The pandemic gave me somewhat of a pre-mid life crisis (anyone else?!) and long story short I found myself jobless and renovating half of our home... Since then I have absolutely fallen in love with this job and have 2 properties for my guests to stay at!
I love meeting new people and designing spaces to make guests feel comfortable, relaxed and right at home.

To my guests: Thank you! I'm so grateful that I have been given this opportunity and appreciate every one of your bookings. I know I'm biased, but I really think I host the best of the best. Your stories, kindness, business and feedback mean the world to me.

If you have any questions at all please reach out and ask!

Why they chose this property

Two words: Hidden Gem. Wakamow Valley has been my favourite part of Moose Jaw for many many years and I couldn't believe when a house went up for sale overlooking the valley. It provides year round scenery, outdoor activities and wildlife watching.
Our block is quiet and understated. Only locals use it and dog walkers from the valley.

What makes this property unique

The view, the open sky, the sunlight.
My husband and I purchased this home in 2020 with the mindset of "slowly but surely".
Our nightly price reflects the work still needing to be done on the property.
