Northern Lights Resort & Spa

I just returned from a week at Northern Lights Resort. I stayed in the Lupine Chalet with my sister. The chalet was roomy enough for two people. The beds were comfortable and there were always fresh towels, new toiletries, and tea and coffee in the chalet. The highlight of the trip were the staff. A special call out to Kelly, the server and Mike and Patrick, the guides. The service was impeccable, we could barely think about what we might want, and it was in front of us. By the second day, the staff knew what type of coffee we liked, and the cook tailored the meals to our special needs. I am a vegetarian, and I must say that those meals did not feel second best, they were creative substitutes for the meat entries and absolutely delicious. The excursions were fun, and the guides were extremely knowledgeable. The resort is really set up to allow guests every opportunity to experience the northern lights. We saw them 2/7 nights we were there, and they were amazing. No one can predict nature, but the setup is such that the possibility of seeing them is maximized. I am back home, relaxed and happy. I recommend Norther Lights Resort without reservation. The thoughtfulness of the owners and all the staff and the attention to detail was truly outstanding.

We recently stayed at the Northern Lights Resort and Spa and thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day Autumn Plus package ! The team at NLRS go above and beyond to ensure our experience is 5 star and were very attentive to all our needs. Each meal was delicious . The accommodation was very comfortable and the property has many trails for walking and taking in the scenery. We were fortunate to have one night of seeing the northern lights. We were very happy overall with our experience at this resort from the accommodation, food to the tours, and spa, sauna, bon fires at night etc. We hope to visit again one day.

Just finished an amazing 4 night Yukon adventure with Northern Lights Resort & Spa. The staff led by Tobi & Lynn were amazing and made our adventure very special. The glass chalet was fabulous; food was amazing. Included in our package were some really great excursions around Whitehorse town & Miles Canyon, plus Southern Lakes & Carcross, nice hikes on the property, and relaxing sauna time. Additionally we toured the wildlife preserve and absolutely loved the Eclipse Nordic Spa. And we lucked out seeing the Aurora 3 out of 4 nights, really amazing. It’s time you toured the Yukon too, and Northern Lights is the way to do it. Thanks again Tobi, Lynn, and a really wonderful team!!!

Seeing the northern lights has been on my bucket list for years, and my wife and my expectations were not only met but greatly exceeded. This is a beautiful resort with quiet and very comfortable cabins, wonderful food, and outstanding staff. The tours to the Southern lakes district and Whitehorse were great, and Mike, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Northern Lights Resort & Spa.

This was an outstanding experience! I would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s a lovely location and the food and service was top notch. I have nothing but positive comments about the entire experience. The cabins are lovely and all the staff were so enthusiastic and friendly and the excursions were amazing. I’d especially recommend the hot spa in Whitehorse. Also make sure you take advantage of the saunas on site. We saw the Northern Lights three of the four nights we were there and the campfire is pretty spectacular!

We stayed at NLRS from August 6-9th for part of our honeymoon. It was outstanding. We stayed in the Wild Rose cabin which was beautiful and well-equipped with an incredible view. Tobi and Lynn were excellent and friendly hosts. Patrick was a great tour guide on our excursions which were an excellent way to see some highlights, learn history, and become acquainted with the area. And THE FOOD!! Chef James is absolutely outstanding. I will be dreaming about some of those dishes. Thank you all for an amazing stay!

From the first day to the final day of stay at the resort (early Sep), my wife and I had an incredible time, enjoying the easygoing friendliness, warmth, hospitality and kindness from all staff we interacted with – from Tobi (owner), the 2 chefs both coincidentally named James (who spoiled us with different delicious gourmet meals every day), service staff Patrick, Kelly, Kaitlin and Aida, and Mike – our friendly and trusty tour guide who is very knowledgeable about the history and fauna of Yukon. ||We took the 4 nights “Yukon in Autumn” package and stayed at the Fireweed chalet, which is a well-maintained deluxe wood cabin style lodge with 2 large windows facing a beautiful sprawling view of meadow and forests, with mountains in the background. The estate also has easy walking trails with nice views of the woods.||The period of our stay is one with a medium to high chance of catching the aurora borealis and we were lucky that out of 4 nights, there were 3 nights which the elusive and magical aurora borealis could be seen. We gathered at the campfire to keep vigil, which is just metres away from every chalet, with a staff member helping us keep warm as we stayed out late at night until wee hours of the morning, with a campfire going, hot chocolate, biscuits and marshmallows. It was also fun to mingle with other guests at the campfire while waiting to catch the northern lights.||In our package, there was the Southern Lakes tour, led by Mike, which was way more more enjoyable than I expected – highlights included spotting of a young grizzly bear digging for roots near the roadside as we stopped by briefly to view, beautiful views of Emerald lake and other lakes, 'desert' at Carcross and beautiful Miles Canyon, amongst other sights.||This is truly an amazing resort that surpassed my expectations!

I booked my stay a year in advance and noted my dietary restrictions in the reservation form, since I have chronic migraines and need to avoid pepper and sauces, as they trigger my attacks. I received no follow-up or clarification from the property before arrival.||When our group arrived, staff read everyone’s dietary restrictions aloud in front of the group and questioned whether they were truly necessary. This made several of us feel uncomfortable.||At our first dinner (on arrival day), I was told it was impossible to prepare meals without pepper. Instead, I would receive a simpler alternative each time—always unannounced—while other guests received a menu each morning. I never knew what I would be served.||On the last night, the dinner menu listed Yukon gold potato soup as the entrée. When I sat down, I was again told it was impossible to make the soup without pepper and that I would instead be served chopped tomato. Knowing from past meals that their entrees always came with sauce (which I can’t eat), I asked for the soup anyway, just to try it. I was told the soup had been made in the exact quantity for other guests, and they could not spare a portion for me. Again, I felt I was being mistreated and decided to leave dinner and return to my room.||No one checked on me afterward. The next morning, as we were loading the bus to the airport, the owner approached me in front of everyone to insist it was not their fault, claiming again it was impossible to prepare pepper-free meals.||This was not a remote location—just 20 minutes from a Walmart. However, since guests have no transportation, the hotel charges CAD 75 per leg for rides. That means if I had wanted to go into town for dinner that last night, it would have cost CAD 150 round trip.||Considering this was a CAD 7,000 stay (for only 3 breakfasts, 2 very light lunches, and 3 dinners—one of which I could not eat at all), the experience was far from acceptable.||I do not recommend this property. You’d be better off staying at a hotel in the city (such as Best Western) and booking evening aurora tours. You’ll have access to many great dining options, enjoy the same tours and experiences, and avoid the frustration and discomfort I experienced here.

While we chose Northern Lights Resort to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights, the fact that heavy cloud cover prevented a good view did not detract from the wonderful hospitality Toby and his staff delivered. We travelled to Whitehorse with good friends, and the cozy accommodations, delicious food and impeccable service made for a wonderful stay. Every one working there went above and beyond to make us feel special, constantly asking if there was anything they could do to make our stay even better. Since the chance of seeing the aurora was totally out of any one's control, the fact that we so enjoyed our stay is a testament to how the Northern Lights Resort has mastered the art of hospitality. We are pescatarian and every meal provided an added option to suit our dietary restrictions. The dog sledding, fireside evening gathering, various tours and the sauna options were wonderful as well. The price is steep, but their success at providing a great experience in subzero temperatures won us over.

Excellent experience here. The owners, Toby and Lynn were fantastic. Some activities were sadly cancelled due to weather but they were always actively communicating with guests making sure we know. When I booked this adventure, I didn't know what to expect but the resort took care of everything from organizing winter clothing for you that fits you, picking you up at the airport, scheduling adventures, etc etc. if you would like to go into town then just let the owners know and they make sure your cared for. Toby also helped me figure out my camera to take pictures of the northern lights which was amazing. The food was one more thing I didn't know what to expect but the quality of the food and presentation was beyond expectations and they take into account food sensitivities. The food not only tasted amazing but the presentation was top notch. I can't think of anything to complain about this resort.

A must stay place if you're visiting Yukon Whitehorse, the owners (Toby & Lynn) & the staff were are very pleasant and welcoming. We arrived with high expectations after reading all the reviews on trip advisor, and we left not at all disappointed. Highly highly recommended to anyone who want to stay at a clean and friendly resort.

Luxury B&B | Best Hosts | Amazing Aurora Light Display $$$ A couple years ago, Garrett and I decided to cross an item off our bucket list: the Northern Lights. If you're looking to see the lights, do it right with staying here. Hands down, this is the place to stay at. B&B hosts, Wolfgang and Renate, are the most welcoming and accommodating hosts we've ever met. They love chatting with you, hearing and sharing stories, provided so many tips of the area to check out and do, and provided amazing daily European breakfasts and other amenities. +3 cozy cabins and 1 room upstairs in their house +hot tub outside +quiet and beautiful scenery in the woods +chance to see wildlife! +Spa We stayed at the Enzian cabin and loved it. There was a small kitchen in this unit, which was nice to have as an option if we wanted to stay in and cook. The entire place is clean, organized, cleaned daily, and in excellent condition. Location: not far away from downtown Whitehorse. The highway is super wide and paved, and we didn't have a hard time getting or finding this place. We highly recommend this place and plan to return again soon.

This was the most amazing stay I could've imagined, and not too expensive either. It's a bit outta town, but that came to be a blessing. And when you pull up, they actually come outside to greet you which was a nice surprise. The "room" itself has the most amazing view, and it's got high ceilings, but a quaint size. The property is well sized for a simple walk around. And oh my goodness the food!!! They recently started offering an evening meal, and I was hesitant because I wanted to try some of the well renowned local spots, but decided to give it a try, and thank goodness for that. That meal was the most amazing food I've probably ever eaten. And I had someone to talk to the whole time, which was nice. They truly care about your satisfaction and want to do all they can to make your stay the best it can be. They even remembered my name the whole time.

Wolfgang, Renate, Stephan, Julia Christmas 2019 in Whitehorse Yukon Canada...this ain't Texas for sure. Wonderful, Beautiful, Relaxing... one of the most professional and courteous and friendly staff that we have ever stayed with. The Resort and Spa was immaculate. Wolfgang and Renate was always accessible, on top of our itinerary and needs throughout our week stay. My wife was celebrating a milestone birthday, Wolfgang and Renate made us feel like family when then presented cake with candles and a special gift, what a great way to help us celebrate that day. The Chalets were Homey and very comfortable. Getting cold was not a problem at all when temperatures hit -21F, the propane fireplace was Great and many times needed to be turned down while getting all the winter gear on. Stephan was a pro at ice fishing on Hidden Lakes. Then the hot chocolate and storytelling in the Teepee while looking for the Northern Lights were joyful evenings with everyone that came out and braved the cold. Julia was a Gem. Between our tour of the Wildlife Preserve and the Takhini Hot Springs, Julia was more like family instead of a tour guide. Then came the picture taking during the Northern Lights and star gazing. The 'Torch' writing during the 25 second shutter timer setting on the camera to capture her sky writing skills was an added gift and something to not miss at midnight. Pictures of this can be found on their Flickr.com page. And what can I say about Chef Brendan...the meals, the presentation was so very well done, this truly added to our stay. I would like to say Thank you to Wolfgang for having such a Great extended team with the people he teams up with to provide Great adventures. This was truly a complete package a once in a lifetime Christmas vacation in the Yukon. Hans and Susie were the Dog sledding Adventure they were so nice, So much fun with them and the dogs. I would do this over and over again. Between the beautiful scenery, the sound of the dogs and no city noises, no cars, this was definitely a Bucket List thing to do. Spending time in the wonderful warm furnished wood burning stove tent sipping hot cider and snacking on chocolate liquor beans overlooking the Yukon river was a treat in itself. Another fine example of going the extra mile for guest, Hans is the only tour that does Dog sledding at night. The two plus hours at 9:30pm into the woods and on the trails (with no lights), is truly an adventure. Then the snowmobiling with Up North Adventures was a complete trill for Laura's birthday. The views from atop the mountain looking down on Whitehorse on one side and Fish lake on the other. What a speed demon she became running across Fish Lake after coming down the trails from the mountains. Wolfgang has a top notch rapport with the other tours that are a option while staying with him and Renate, they were definitely an extension of the professionalism expected by Northern Lights and Spa. In conclusion, I truly recommend Wolfgang and Renate and their whole wonderful staff at Northern Lights and Spa in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada. Thank you so very much, Robert and Laura

A perfect place to see the Yukon Territory and see the Northern lights. The owners and staff are wonderful.

A two-night stay this summer was perfect for a quick, romantic getaway. The cozy cabin, bubbling jacuzzi, full european breakfast, attentive and friendly staff, and stunning scenery (including wildlife) left nothing to be desired. Without a doubt, one of the best places to stay near Whitehorse!
