Nestled on the tranquil southern shores of Emma Lake, Sunnyside is one of Saskatchewan’s most beloved lakeside communities, where long summer days, crisp fall walks, and cozy winter escapes are all part of the lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a nostalgic family cabin, a year-round home, or a weekend getaway, Sunnyside offers the ideal mix of recreation, relaxation, and natural beauty.
Sunnyside is known for its sandy public beach, tall pine trees, and laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere. It’s a place where kids ride bikes on gravel roads, friends gather around fire pits, and mornings are spent on calm waters with a coffee in hand. Many cabins in the area are tucked behind mature trees, offering privacy and that authentic "cabin in the woods" feel, all within walking distance to the lake.
From cozy seasonal cottages to modern, winterized cabins and lakefront homes with private docks, Sunnyside and the area offer a range of properties to fit every lifestyle. Some lots are passed down through generations, while others allow you to build your dream lake home from scratch.
Whether you're looking to invest in a short-term rental, buy a family retreat, or retire lakeside, Sunnyside’s real estate market presents exciting opportunities, often with more affordable options than some of the other Emma Lake subdivisions.
Sunnyside residents enjoy direct access to:
Public beaches & boat launches
Swimming, fishing, paddleboarding & wakeboarding
Nearby hiking trails in Great Blue Heron Provincial Park
Winter activities like snowmobiling, skating, and ice fishing
Plus, it’s just minutes from Sunnyside Bar, Emma Lake Golf Course, and local general stores, making it easy to grab essentials or enjoy a cold drink after a long beach day.
While summer may be the star of the show, Sunnyside’s year-round appeal is what truly sets it apart. Fall brings vibrant foliage and peaceful getaways, and winter turns the lake into a snowy playground. Many residents outside the co-op are now winterizing their cabins and turning them into full-time homes, taking advantage of Emma Lake’s peaceful off-season charm.
