Northern Lights Resort & Spa

Spent an amazing week in a glass chalet! Saw the lights several days. Was worried that it would be a wasted trip if we didn’t but there was a lot more to do than we expected. We had a great time going to the animal sanctuary, hot springs, visiting Whitehorse, dog sledding, kick sledding and going for walks through the beautiful property plus eating wonderful food and meeting new friends! The sauna and massages at the resort were fabulous too! Someone from the staff is always around to meet your every need and they all help out whenever needed. It’s very much a family run resort. Definitely recommend the glass chalets as it was incredible being able to be in a nice warm bed and watch for the lights. Still recommend going outside if they are really active. Staff did a great job letting us know when there was any activity even when it was during dinner one night. The only negative is that I gained a few pounds from all the good food and yummy treats at tea time! Highly recommend coming here for a Yukon northern lights experience! One caveat that has nothing to do with the resort is that you have to adjust your expectations of what the lights will look like because they will probably look much better in your photos than what you will actually see. We had one night of really spectacular but everything has to align for that to happen from solar activity to weather Thanks to Toby, Lynn, Patrick, James and James, Kelly, Kaitlin, Mike, Marshall and all the rest of the staff for making our time so special!

My wife and I had a fantastic time at the Northern Lights Resort and Spa. It’s a small luxury resort about 30 minutes outside of Whitehorse. It accommodates a total of 16 people in private chalets with large windows to view the aurora borealis - from your own bed if you want! Or go outside to the communal fire pit to enjoy good company, s’mores and hot chocolate. Dress warmly! The owners/proprietors are on-site to ensure you have everything you could need and their staff were all friendly and attentive. All meals are provided in the main chalet and everything we were served was delicious. The on-site spa offered a variety of treatments, 2 saunas and a small gym. The real star was the beautiful landscape. There were packed trails you could walk or be more adventurous and snowshoe off-trail. There was snowmobiling and dogsledding available which was a hoot and we highly recommend it if you’ve never tried it. If you want a northern Canada adventure with all the comforts of a modern resort, this is the place.

Everything at this resort was carefully planned. We had a wonderful time and were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights as well. The staff are very professional, yet friendly and welcoming. The cabin is beautiful, and the grounds are a great place for a short hike. The four days went by quickly and were truly enjoyable.

Unforgettable. Basically perfect. Everything was wonderful. The relaxed, incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, personalized service started with pickup at the airport, and kept on going to the greeting, every meal and snack, to all of our activities. The accommodations were just right. Our cabin was cozy, tasteful and spacious (the Wild Rose Chalet), with coffee service, a comfortable (firm but not too firm) bed, mud room and very functional hot, shower, loved the blackout blinds too and the fire. While the lodge is not big, it works really well for the limited number of guests. The grounds are amazing - hikes and views are breathtaking. And it is QUIET. The activities. Well, we were lucky and one night (out of four) we had the most spectacular northern lights (other nights were there but not quite as amazing). The little alarm system worked great and the bonfire and smores and hot chocolate were exactly what we needed for our over 2 hours of very late night viewing. The wildlife tour was really good and the hotsprings were quite nice. Snowmobiling was actually really fun and very well managed. And I do have to say, the massage (after a sauna) on site, was one of the very best we have ever had in the world! The food - while not Michelin star, every meal was excellent. Delicious, hearty, quite local, and perfect for the environment and experience. The wine, cocktails and drinks were of surprisingly good quality and variety for such an intimate, family run place. Finally, the people. The incredible team that Tobias and Lynn have brought together (and the culture they as leaders have created) are the heart of what made these four days so special. So, here are some shout-outs! - Mike - Danke Sehr für Alles - you are such a fun, great guide. - Raemi - you are just a healing gift to this earth - James, James and Dongmei - thank you for your creativity and care in keeping us so well nourished - Kaitlyn and Kelly - wow, you two with your smiles, humor and kindness, interest and attention made every meal such a pleasure - Marshall - thanks for keeping us warm by the fire with the Aurora and keeping us safe on the snowmobiles, and helping us have more fun at both -

We had a truly wonderful stay at this Northern Lights resort. Although we did not see the Northern Lights due to record-breaking snowfall, absolutely no fault of the resort, the experience itself was exceptional and memorable in all the best ways. The food deserves a special mention. It was outstanding. In fact, we never even made it to breakfast because we were still so full from the previous day’s meals. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, comforting, and delicious, especially after long, snowy days. The provided cold-weather outerwear package was perfect. There is truly no need to overpack heavy winter gear if you use what they supply. It was high-quality, warm, and made everything easy and stress-free. What really set this place apart was the small, locally owned feel. The owners were present, engaged, and genuinely invested in their guests’ experience. That personal touch made the stay feel welcoming and special rather than transactional. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to make the dining room a bit more multi-purpose during downtime. With the cold temperatures and limited daylight, movement can be minimal, so offering something like yoga or gentle stretching sessions would be a lovely addition. Even without the Northern Lights, we left feeling grateful, well-fed, warmly outfitted, and truly cared for. We would absolutely recommend this resort

My husband and I had the experience of a lifetime here last month. We stayed 11/20 - 11/24. The lodgings were plush and comfortable, the food was wonderful and abundant, the planned events were exceptional, the spa facilities luxurious, and the staff very friendly and knowledgeable. We have recommended the resort to all of our friends and family interested in experiencing the Yukon and seeing the Northern Lights. We were fortunate to see the lights on our first night! We would love to return!

We had an amazing stay from start to finish. The food was fantastic at every meal, and the staff were consistently friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Our room was incredible—spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The massive windows overlooking the wilderness were a highlight on their own. We treated ourselves to hot stone massages, which were absolutely wonderful. There wasn’t quite enough snow for snowmobiling while we were there, so the team had booked us in to a glass blowing class instead, and it turned out to be such a fun and unique experience. Evenings by the campfire were a real treat. Sitting around with the other guests, sipping hot cocoa, making s’mores, and swapping stories created such a warm, relaxed atmosphere. We only saw the aurora on our first night, but honestly, the company and the cozy fire made every night memorable. The absolute highlight of the trip was the dog sledding. The scenery was so stunning it almost didn’t look real. The team working with the dogs were fantastic—friendly, chatty, and clearly devoted to the animals. Seeing the bond they had with the dogs made the experience even more special. Overall, the Northern Lights Resort & Spa delivered an unforgettable getaway, full of great food, great people, and truly unique adventures.

My mom and I wanted to take a mother/daughter trip together and seeing the Northern Lights has always been a bucket list item for both of us. In researching places to stay, it was important that our choice was relatively close to home (coming from the Pacific Northwest) and small, we didn’t want to be in a large crowd. We wanted a place that would take care of all the little details and provide a relaxing vacation with a good chance of seeing the lights. Northern Lights Resort & Spa far exceeded our hopes and needs. I’ll get the obvious out of the way… yes, we were extremely lucky and saw an absolutely stunning aurora the first night of our stay, followed by two more nights of incredible light displays. There had been a strong solar flare earlier in the week and, fortunately, clear skies for most of our stay. There’s a bell in each cabin that is activated by a staff member whose sole job is to keep the fire going outside from 10pm-2am and watch for the lights to show and sound the bell to wake everyone up. We appreciated being able to get some sleep early in the night and being able to rest assured that we wouldn’t miss anything. At the fire pit, hot chocolate, tea, marshmallows, and tripods were provided and were a great touch. Now onto the resort itself. I cannot say enough about Toby, Lynn, and their small group of amazing employees. Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating. From the moment of inquiry to the final ride back to the airport, our every request was met with a smile and someone going out of their way to help. We chose to rent the snow clothes they provide and are glad we did. We had our own puffy jackets, boots, and gloves, but the ones provided were much more suited to the negative degrees in the middle of the night. They were comfortable, warm, and clean. Getting to/from the resort was very straight forward as we elected to have the resort book our flights for us using Air North from Vancouver, B.C. to Whitehorse and back. The airline employees were very friendly, and we especially loved the bonus warm cookies on the flight to the Yukon. Overall, a once in a lifetime trip that we would repeat in a heartbeat. We felt very fortunate to have seen the Aurora not just once, but three nights out of the four, but even had luck not been on our side, the resort, the people, and the other experiences would have been worth it. Thank you, Toby and Lynn, for creating such a magical place! Kelli and Chris

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!
