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
