Dive into our latest article and get to know the remarkable team behind the brand.

Meet Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation: Saskatoon & Areas Premier Hot Tub Haven!

From the moment I stepped into Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation, located just a short drive on the outskirts of Warman, Saskatchewan. I felt a genuine warmth and welcome. The space is beautiful and stocked with an impressive wall of hot tub chemicals, filters and supplies. There is an atmosphere of undeniable calm and relaxation.

I had the pleasure of meeting owners Lauren and Julie Penner, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo and proud parents of two delightful children. Lauren’s journey into the hot tub industry began in 2002 when he transitioned from training as an auto mechanic to working as a hot tub service technician. After years in the field, an opportunity to acquire a local hot tub repair business inspired them to establish Unaffiliated Hot Tub Home Care. Their focus on honest repairs over purchasing a new hot tub quickly earned them a loyal clientele who appreciated their integrity.

Now, with a showroom in their new location, the business has evolved into Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation. This new name truly reflects their mission to create peaceful backyard sanctuaries for their clients.

As Lauren says,

“Our goal has always been to find the best solution to meet our customers’ needs.”

So, their recent decision to offer Softtub, a premium Canadian plug-and-play hot tub brand, and to be the exclusive dealers of Bellagio Luxury Spas gives customers options that best suit their budget, needs, and lifestyle, further exemplifying this commitment. They not only provide hot tub repair, but the addition of these brands allows customers to purchase hot tubs and all the supplies.

Sanctuary and a Place of Restoration

The name Sanctuary Spas & Re-Creation embodies the heart of their brand. Lauren and Julie believe that a hot tub should be more than a luxury—it’s a place of rejuvenation and peace where one can recharge from life’s demands.

“Relax. Refresh. Reconnect.” is their motto.

Sanctuary represents that peaceful place, while Re-Creation speaks to their dedication to restoring and rebuilding the person and providing “peace of mind” through their products and services.

We met Lauren & Julie when they initially contacted our sister company, Trusted Marketing Services. They were looking for marketing assistance, and we worked with them to create their new brand, which they unveiled at the 2024 Warman Open For Business Expo. They were amazing to work with, and once we got to know more about them and their business goals, we knew they would be a GREAT fit for the Trusted Saskatoon community!

What do their Customers Say?

“Lauren has been incredible to work with! We bought our Bellagio Hot Tub from him, and his service, knowledge, and helpfulness were great. I totally recommend Sanctuary Spas to anyone needing a hot tub!” - Del Ehlert

“ I got my hot tub through Home Depot and of course, there is nobody that can help with service or maintenance when you buy from them. I searched for and found Lauren, and they are great to work with! I was so impressed with how kind receptionist Kathleen was when I called in. She was so friendly and helpful and I felt very quickly like we had known each other for years. They went above and beyond trying to find replacement jets for me. They are honest, responsive, affordable and were good about communicating with me. I recommend them for sure!” - Terry Graham, Saskatoon

Getting Your Outdoor Space Ready For Fall From Trusted Saskatoon Wheatland Fireplace

20. Aug 2023 Admin Saskatoon Outdoor Living & Recreation, Trusted Tips

Your first step into the beautiful Wheatland Fireplace Saskatoon showroom will help you understand why Wheatland Fireplace has been given the Thumbs up by Trusted Saskatoon. Wheatland loves its customers and as a result, their customers love and TRUST them. In their latest outdoor living tip, they share how to get your outdoor space ready for fall.

Getting Your Outdoor Space Ready for Fall

Back to school. Leaves falling. Pumpkin picking. Fall is here and getting your outside space ready for the changing season should be a priority. Whether you’re wrapping up the outdoor season or settling in for a long fall, these tips will help you prepare your deck, porch, patio, or backyard for fall.

Deck Décor

Cooler nights call for warm lighting, fires, and cozy furniture. Decking your furniture out with big, fluffy pillows and blankets can help set the cozy tone in your backyard. While in the summer months, blankets likely aren’t needed, having a variety of indoor/outdoor blankets available for guests can be a great way to keep them warm and extend your evening. For an extra pop of fall colour, use reds, oranges and yellows in your pillow and blanket choices. Also, adding fall wreaths, pumpkins, mums, fall foliage or gourds can amp up your décor game.

An Element of Fire

Another great way to keep warm this fall is with a fire pit or table. Wheatland has several great options that will fit nearly any type of backyard setup. Stay cozy and warm with any of our options this fall. Have specific questions about how to take care of your fire table in the fall and winter? Contact Wheatland today!

Light It Up

Lighting is an inexpensive addition you can make to your backyard to make it feel warm, cozy and inviting. String lights put off the perfect amount of lighting to give a warm ambience to any setting. Candles are another great way to add warm lighting but try a flameless option to keep your yard and home safe.

Cover It Up

Buying a cover for your patio furniture, including your fire pit table, is a great way to protect it from wind, rain and the impending winter weather. Durable, weather-resistant covers will help protect your investment and keep snow, leaves and other elements out of your fire pit table.

Wheatland Fireplace, Kitchen & Bath are successful for a reason! This really is where your outdoor living and indoor fireplace, bathroom & kitchen dreams meet in spectacular surroundings! Wheatland services and installs high-quality fireplaces. Visit their website or stop by their showroom to feel the warmth and comfort of their amazing selection.

Your first step into the beautiful Wheatland Fireplace Saskatoon showroom will help you understand why Wheatland Fireplace has been given the Thumbs up by Trusted Saskatoon. Wheatland loves its customers and as a result, their customers love and TRUST them. In their latest outdoor living tip, they discuss designing spectacular outdoor spaces with outdoor fireplaces.

Inspired: The Outdoor Room

Designing Spectacular Outdoor Spaces with Outdoor Fireplaces

Recent world events have revealed just how important outdoor rooms and living spaces are. Homeowners are also becoming much more sophisticated in terms of how they want their outdoor home environment to look and feel. This makes the outdoor fireplace a key element.

From a simple patio or covered terrace to a fully-equipped pool house, Wheatland has a fiery outdoor room fireplace solution for every outdoor concept.

The design options for fireplaces in outdoor living spaces are endless…

Mahana Outdoor | A Warm Breeze

ZONE HEATING

The real added value of the Mahana outdoor fireplace is rooted in where we drew the inspiration for the name from – Mahana is Hawaiian for “warm breeze”.

Both sizes of the Mahana outdoor feature a quiet blower system designed to warm your outdoor room well beyond the capabilities of a standard outdoor fireplace.

WOOD CONSTRUCTION

Fire and wood don’t usually go together, but the Mahana outdoor room fireplace was designed in such a way that you can build into standard wood frame construction and finish with a variety of combustible facing materials.

SAFETY FIRST

While the full-width glass door protects the fireplace flame from winds up to 40mph, the Mahana’s mesh safety screen and cool-to-the-touch enclosure protect your friends and family from potential burns.

The Outdoor Room | New Possibilities

Homeowners are building increasingly elaborate outdoor rooms and living spaces that essentially become an extension of their home. They want more flexible fire feature options to bring their vision to life. Traditionally designated for indoor use only, many fireplace models are now approved for use in certain protected outdoor room fireplace applications.

Trusted Saskatoon Wheatland Fireplace Inspiration & Customizing Your Outdoor Kitchen

4. Apr 2023 Admin Saskatoon Outdoor Living & Recreation, Trusted Tips

Your first step into the beautiful Wheatland Fireplace Kitchen & Bath Saskatoon showroom will help you understand why Wheatland Fireplace has been given the Thumbs up by Trusted Saskatoon. Wheatland loves their customers and as a result, their customers love and TRUST them. In their latest outdoor living tip, they explain how to customize your outdoor kitchen.

How To Customize Your Outdoor Kitchen

Custom outdoor kitchens are in high demand because they add value to the home, are great for entertaining, and expands your property’s living space. Let’s explore the most important factors to consider when customizing your own unique outdoor dream kitchen.

Define the Space

Just as homes come in many shapes and sizes, the same is true for outdoor kitchens. A few common kitchen shapes are L-shaped, linear, and even U-Shaped kitchens. Another popular option is a two-piece kitchen, where there’s a section for cooking, storage, and accessories. The other section usually features a bar and is used for dining and entertaining. Which layout sounds most suitable for your outdoor area?

It’s important to consider placement when you are incorporating a custom kitchen into your space. Here are a few things you’ll need to think about when turning your outdoor dream into a reality:

1. Proximity

One crucial aspect of where you decide to place your kitchen is how far away it is from your home. Since some of the food preparation will need to be done inside, you’ll want to place your kitchen in close distance with the entrance of your backyard. This will allow for hassle-free transportation between the two locations.

2. Backyard Size

The size of your backyard should factor in to how large you build your outdoor kitchen. Take some time to strategize how much square footage you’re willing to give up for your custom kitchen design. The size you want your kitchen to be is completely up to you.

3. Zoning Laws

Be sure to check with local and national ordinances when determining the size and placement of your outdoor dining area. Zoning laws are in place to regulate how your property can be used. It’d be a shame to finalize a beautiful outdoor kitchen project that might not satisfy local codes and regulations.

Pro tip: Find a professional. There are many technical factors to consider when building an outdoor kitchen, such as heat clearances, electrical accessibility, and zoning laws, so finding the right person for the job will aid in creating a safe and fully optimized outdoor entertainment area.

Prioritize Your Accessories

When it comes to indoor cooking and dining, what’s most important to you? Perhaps it’s the shimmering, stainless-steel appliances or plentiful amount of pantry space. Some homeowners really value a kitchen island with a bar for entertaining guests and countertop space with added storage.

Since an outdoor kitchen brings all that you love about your indoor kitchen outdoors, we recommend reflecting on what’s most important to you as you customize this new area. Here’s a quick list of grills, storage units, and other accessories commonly used in outdoor kitchen designs:

Drawers and access doors for storage and trash
Charcoal, gas, and electric grills for cooking
Sink with faucet for cleaning
Refrigerator for beverages

Explore What’s Popular

Once you’ve built the framework for your outdoor kitchen, the next step is deciding the kind of look you want for the exterior finish. Homeowners commonly use the same materials on their home for the exterior of their outdoor kitchen for a clean, unifying look. Other popular materials used for the base are stucco, brick, or stone veneer, also known as stacked stone. Supercast™ concrete and granite are suitable options for the countertop section of outdoor kitchens.

Many backyards also incorporate some kind of shading, such as a gazebo, awning, pergola, or umbrella, to further define the outdoor kitchen area and fend off a bright and scorching sun. These sources of shade can be outfitted with outdoor lighting to make kitchens an all-day, one-stop-shop for relaxation and entertaining.

Better Living Begins Here

Wheatland Fireplace, Kitchen & Bath

Wheatland is a locally owned family business with showrooms in both Regina and Saskatoon. They have a long history in Saskatchewan and are known for only bringing in the finest fireplace, bathroom, kitchen and outdoor living brands from across North America. When we first met the owner Chuck Le Page, back in 2011, they sold fireplaces, Jacuzzi spas, BBQ & smokers. Since then they moved away from hot tubs ( as they take up a lot of space ) and moved on to offering more amazing fireplaces, stunning Canadian made bathroom products (show stopping baths, showers, vanities and other bathroom furniture), faucets, sinks, fire-pits, fire tables, BBQ's and smokers. When you walk in you feel the warmth and comfort of their fireplaces and you can browse their stunning products in person. If you want ANYTHING from any of the brands they carry …they will order it especially for you!

Established in 1982, With Humble Beginnings.

Wheatland began selling Glow Boy wood-burning fireplaces out of a garage, and they had local firemen installing the fireplaces for their customers. After noticing a significant demand for the product they were selling, two years later they decided to expand the business and move the operation to Regina.

In 1984, Wheatland Fireplace was established and soon became the leading, and now oldest, hearth retailer in Saskatchewan. In 1987 Wheatland opened a store in Saskatoon and both stores have had extensive and ongoing showroom renovations in the last few years to include the large range of bathroom and kitchen products.

Wheatland's founder is Chuck Le Page and his youngest son Mike Le Page ( pictured on the right in the Saskatoon showroom that is currently getting another amazing facelift) is the Saskatoon store manager, and he also oversees the Regina operation with the Regina store manager Stephen Moon.

In 2023 they will also be offering yard renos as additional services, everything from decks to pergolas. If you have seen some of their outdoor kitchen set up's we can assure you that you will understand how amazing their backyard transformations can be!!

BEST PRODUCTS AND OUTSTANDING SERVICE!

A quick Google will reveal Wheatland's stellar reputation, the customer feedback is consistently excellent and they are always in the pursuit of excellence!

What Their Clients Say...

" Mike and the team at Wheatland in Saskatoon were great to work with. Very knowledgeable and great customer service. We had a unique request for a custom gas firepit and they worked with us to build out a pan and burner combo along with some beautiful media to create a gorgeous firepit. We couldn't be happier with the end result. "- Ryan Holowaty

" I can't say how awesome my experience was with wheatland fireplace. I was like a kid at Christmas when getting the fireplace installed so of course I had to watch the install. I know a customer watching you install something is less then ideal but they humored me and I got to shoot the breeze with them. watching the install and all the conversations leading up to the installed I know I made the right decision going with Wheatland!" - Justin Bisson

"When our clients take the time to share their satisfaction with us it really means everything to our team. We understand that long-lasting relationships are built on trust. Our team is so grateful for the loyalty of our wonderful customers. To provide good customer service, you need to know what you’re selling, inside and out.

A word from Sara, the Trusted Saskatoon founder, about her personal experience with Wheatland Fireplace, Kitchen & Bath.

I first met Chuck Le Page in Regina in 2011, I had heard about the business and went in to check out the showroom and the products.I was very impressed with what I saw and heard. That day Chuck was in the store and he was gracious enough to give me some time to explain the Trusted Directories concept, and why I thought they were a good fit. He really liked the idea and made the decision to sign up in both markets. Over time, I have been a customer and worked closely with both Chuck and his son Mike. We now do additional marketing services for them at Trusted Marketing Services, and I am proud to promote and support such a wonderful local company and team. I can say hand on heart that if you choose a product from Wheatland, they stand behind it and you will not be disappointed. Better living certainly does begin at Wheatland Fireplace, Kitchen & Bath! - Sara Wheelwright
