Heated ice fishing shack rentals on Lac Ste. Anne at Alberta Beach, AB, praised for warm, ready-to-fish shacks with pre-drilled holes, overnight bunks and responsive hosts.
What visitors say
Alberta Beach Adventures rents ice fishing shacks on the frozen lake at the Village of Alberta Beach, and nearly all its reviews are five stars. Guests book day trips or 24-hour overnighters in shacks with names like the village shack, the family shack and a small one called lil blue.
The appeal is that the work is done for you. Reviewers repeatedly say they arrived to a shack already warm from the wood stove, with holes drilled and fishing supplies on hand. Overnight shacks have bunk beds, and one family described seven holes in the floor. Underwater cameras are available, and several guests said watching fish on the screen made the day, especially with kids. The hosts get steady praise for answering questions quickly and checking in during the stay.
It suits families and first-timers well. Parents mention teenagers and young children having a great time, one family's kids skated from the shack down a path to a rink, and several groups caught pike. Regulars come back every year, and a couple of reviewers called the pricing fair for what's included.
The only real caveat is the season itself. Stays run in deep winter, and one family spent their night on the ice in minus 35 weather, so pack warm layers even though the shacks are heated. Catches vary, and a few guests caught only a fish or two.
