Northern Lights Resort & Spa

As we look back on our trip we smile, feeling so blessed and grateful that our dream trip was so amazing! Your friendly, caring staff, first-class accommodations, delicious meals and fun-filled excursions helped make our trip such a huge success. The 16 other guests were lighthearted and friendly souls making our stay so memorable. Seeing the northern lights twice in our 4-night stay was fantastic too! Thank you Toby,Lynn and all of your amazing staff for making our “bucket list” trip one that we will never forget!

Northern Lights Resort and Spa is fantastic – in every way. My husband and I recently spent four days there to see the Northern Lights, and we were not disappointed: we did see them on our last night. There is no guarantee that you will see them (it’s nature’s call, after all), but even if we would not have had the privilege of seeing them, it would have been worth the trip. There are accommodations for only 16 guests, two per cabin/chalet. This makes the environment very cozy, friendly, and intimate, but everyone has their own glorious cabin and privacy. We happened to get along great with all of them, which was lucky, I guess, but it could have been that the whole environment just lends itself to everyone getting along and having a nice time. Besides waiting for the Northern Lights to appear, there is dog-sledding, a trip to a wildlife preserve, hot springs, and on-site, Japanese-style massages and saunas to enjoy. I think the massage I got was the best I have ever gotten. But this cannot be overstated…. the food, food, food was out of this world. Hey, I’m no expert but I think this could easily be a Michelin star restaurant - it was just so good and so consistently good and wonderfully presented. Every single meal. And finally, the staff…..I can’t say enough nice things about all of them, every single one. I hesitate to name everyone that I remember (what if I forgot to mention someone and then risk making them feel bad); I wish they were my neighbors and friends that I would see at home. Everyone was friendly, kind, accommodating, helpful, and just nice. We loved it there and want to go back!

I spent 5 nights in between Whitehorse (Best Western) and The Northern Light Resort. The northern lights were a bit elusive due to the cloudy weather, but that's all part of the game when it comes to chasing these natural wonders. I could catch a glimpse of them on the last 2 nights, mostly through the camera. They were barely visible to the naked eye but still very impressive. This experience has definitely left me craving for more trips like this! The staff was very professional, helpful, and attentive to details; special kudos to Richard, Dorothy, Patrick, and of course, all the staff behind the scenes. The food at the resort was not only varied but also incredibly tasty. I was never disappointed with any of my meals. And let's not forget the hot stone massage-it was an experience to die for! The skilled hands of the masseuse and the soothing ambiance made it a truly relaxing experience. I very much recommend a stay at the property.

I loved my time at Northern Lights Resort and Spa. It is a beautiful resort and very well organized by the staff and owners. The cabins are comfortable and nicely sized. There are many activities and tours you can sign up for that will enhance your stay. The chefs are world class. At night, you gather around a bonfire and gaze at the awe-inspiring northern lights. I highly recommend this resort for your northern lights vacation :)

My daughter and I stayed at this resort. The owners are amazing as well as all their staff. Most amazing vacation ever. I really enjoyed every aspect of my stay. Food was top notch and massage was great. They truly are customer oriented. The group we were with was also amazing. Hard to explain just how breath taking the scenery was. We definitely recommend this resort and wants to come back. The dogs sliding was most amazing. Thank you to all who made our stay most memorable. For anyone with food allergies they were so accommodating to my daughter who had gluten and lactose intolerance. They went above our expectations. Thank you again.

We had the BEST time at Northern Lights Resort & Spa***** Worth the trip, especially seeing the magic happen of the Northern Lights. An event you will remember for life! The whole team did an outstanding job taking care of us. The chalets are comfortable, food was delicious, activities were fun, transporation was punctual. We felt welcome the entire time from all the people in town, and even more at the resort. Lynn and Tobi created something special here and thank you for sharing. Our first time in Yukon and it was a memorable trip.

This is an amazing place! Tobi and Lynn, the owners, gave us a wonderful experience of a lifetime! The food was great (James is an amazing chef), the chalets were warm and comfortable, and the staff was wonderful! Patrick gave us a very informative tour, and was also our waiter at lunch and dinner. The young man, Richard, who drove us to and from the airport was talkative and outgoing. All in all, we'd do it again!

Northern Lights Resort & Spa 10/7/24 to 10/10/24 My parents, husband, and I spent 4 days and 3 nights at the Northern Lights Resort & Spa in Whitehorse and it was undoubtedly one of the most magical and unforgettable trips I have ever experienced. From our arrival at the airport to our last day saying goodbyes we were provided with care and attention to our every need. Highlights of the trip: our excellent hosts Lynn and Toby, who created an incredibly cozy and well-organized resort. Patrick, who made us feel so welcome! He guided us on a personal natural walk around the grounds, knew our orders/preferences by heart, and was so funny and kind! Ulli is an absolute joy and was by far our favorite night guide host. She took extra time paying attention to our every need and ensuring we were comfortable, shared her incredible photography with us, and her excitement was contagious! Our chef James gave us literally the best dining experience of our lives. Words truly cannot describe the delicious dishes we enjoyed every lunch and evening and aside from the aurora itself, the food was the highlight of the trip for us! Our tour guide James was warm and friendly from the moment we met at the airport, and his knowledge about the history of the region was unsurpassed. We looked forward to his tours and enjoyed getting to know him! Juan, who helped out on one of our tours, was also so friendly we loved connecting with him about nature and birding – felt like we made a new friend! Rick, who guided us at the local wildlife refuge was extremely kind and also so knowledgeable - it’s clear he cares deeply about this non-profit and sharing the animals’ stories with guests. We could not recommend a better experience – from the clean and cozy atmosphere to the warm and welcoming environment, incredible food, and amazing staff – it made for the trip of a lifetime and I hope we can come back someday!
