Northern Lights Resort & Spa

Our stay at Northern Lights Resort and Spa was exceptional. The cozy cabins were comfortable and thoughtfully designed, the food was fresh and imaginative, and the team was among the most upbeat and professional we’ve ever met. With only 16 guests on the property, it felt peaceful and personal — whether enjoying solitude on the grounds or chatting by the outdoor fire. We came hoping to see the Aurora Borealis and were rewarded with a breathtaking display, but even without it, this would still be a remarkable trip.

We had an absolutely exceptional stay at Northern Lights Resort & Spa. The staff were fabulous and the owners, Tobi and Lynn, went above and beyond to make each guest feel truly welcome and valued. They would unselfishly take time out of their busy days to engage. They made us feel like family. The food was outstanding — every meal felt special and was thoughtfully prepared. They were more than willing to adjust based on personal preferences. James and his team of great servers made every mouthful an experience. The extracurricular activities were well organized and added so much to the overall experience. We stayed in a Glass Chalet, which was cozy without feeling small — beautifully designed, very comfortable, and perfectly equipped. The property itself is expansive, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up for guest use. A special shout-out to all the staff who work tirelessly, both directly with guests and behind the scenes to make every stay seamless, comfortable, and memorable. Finally, we were very fortunate to get an amazing display of Northern Lights. The nightly campfire and the glass chalet made perfect viewing venues. Even if we hadn’t seen the lights, the vacation still would have been perfect! This resort is five stars plus on every level. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a magical, memorable northern getaway.

We stayed at the Northern Lights Resort with the hope of witnessing the aurora borealis—but what we found was so much more. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the beautifully appointed cabins, the exquisite gourmet meals served three times daily, and the exceptional hospitality of the entire staff. Mike welcomed us with captivating stories during our drive to the resort, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay. Roberto, the resort manager, ensured every detail was perfect. Kelly, our cheerful server at lunch and dinner, greeted us with a radiant smile and always remembered our favorite cocktails. James, the chef, wowed us with masterful flavor combinations at every meal—truly a culinary artist. Marshall kept the fire going from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., creating a cozy haven for watching the Northern Lights in comfort. Kiera’s homemade cinnamon buns were a delightful treat. Karl and Yu guided us through daytime adventures, while Ida made sure our rooms were immaculate and welcoming. Toby and Lynn, the owners, have built something truly special—a resort where the service is extraordinary and the staff feels like family. This was the first time I’ve ever stayed somewhere and knew everyone’s name. It felt like coming home.

This needs to be your next dream vacation…We had the absolute best time of our lives. Seeing the northern lights was on our bucket list and we’re so glad we went with Northern Lights Resort & Spa. From the attention to detail, the spectacular food, to the intimate atmosphere and the care of the entire staff. It was truly a trip to remember. We had amazing guides for each tour and everyone was so informed of the history and wildlife of the Yukon. We were able to have a great mix of relaxation and exploring and the best part is they give you the option to do whatever you please! We were greeted upon arrival with warmth and kindness and were bid a farewell with our cups, hearts, (and bellies) filled with memories we’ll take with us forever! Thank you to the team for a wonderful anniversary trip, we wouldn’t have wanted to spend it anywhere else!

Exceptional Stay at Northern Lights Resort Just wrapped up 4 incredible nights at Northern Lights Resort and couldn't be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff demonstrated their warmth and attentiveness which really made the difference. The rooms were comfortable and perfectly situated for the stunning views. But the real magic happened at night when the aurora came out. The location is ideal for viewing the Northern Lights, and the resort makes it easy to experience this natural wonder. We also took advantage of the massage services, which were absolutely fantastic - exactly what we needed after our travels. Combined with the breathtaking scenery, it made for a truly relaxing getaway. If you're planning a trip to Whitehorse and want to see the aurora borealis while being looked after by an outstanding team, Northern Lights Resort is the place. Highly recommend!

We stayed at Northern Lights Resort and Spa for seven days to celebrate an anniversary, and it was perfect. The staff were outstanding, thoughtful, and truly committed to helping every guest have their bucket list experience.||Our Fireweed Suite had a stunning view of the northern lights right from the bed and even included a Dyson hair dryer. The food was excellent, and the masseuse was very skilled. Be sure to book private sauna times and join the morning nature walk.||The guides were amazing, managing the bonfire each night and helping everyone with camera settings and tripods. When the northern lights appear, an alarm sounds in every chalet so no one misses them—a huge bonus.||The seven day package was ideal for relaxing and gave us the best chance to see the lights at their most spectacular. Highly recommended.

We booked a four-night, five-day stay at the end of October. Before our trip, we exchanged several emails asking about daytime hiking trails and how to photograph the aurora. Each time, they responded promptly and kindly, which gave us peace of mind before our departure. When we arrived at the lodge, the staff immediately showed us how to use an aurora app, and thanks to that, we were able to capture beautiful aurora photos on our very first night. From 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., they patiently taught us photography tips, kept the bonfire burning, and prepared warm drinks for everyone. When the aurora activity increased, an alarm in our room notified us, so we didn’t have to wait outside in the cold the whole time. Every member of the team — from the owners to the tour guides, dining staff, and chef — was extremely kind and attentive, making our stay comfortable and truly memorable. The chef’s delicious meals, prepared three times a day, were something we looked forward to and enjoyed every single day. When we saw on the aurora app that strong auroras were expected for a few more days after our departure date, we decided to extend our trip by two more nights at another lodge. Even then, they kindly offered us helpful advice for our extended stay. It was clear that everyone there truly loves Whitehorse and the Yukon, and enjoys life to the fullest — that warmth and joy were something we genuinely felt and will always remember. Even if you don’t get to see the aurora, the wonderful staff at this lodge will make your stay truly special. I highly recommend taking a break from your busy everyday life and spending some time at their lodge — it’s an experience that will refresh your mind and heart.

The Northern Lights Resort and Spa is an excellent resort in Whitehorse, Yukon for watching the Northern Lights! Interesting trips during the day with our wonderful guide Mike, to local, unique areas in this beautiful part of the Yukon. You can even schedule massage treatments!Three fantastic, 5-star restaurant worthy meals served by our great servers Kelly and Caitlin! Then, the main attraction, the Northern Lights! Evening campfires, hot chocolate and s'mores, and Marshall, the camera guru who helps you get the best pictures! The cabins are very clean, wonderful beds and beautiful bathrooms. You can even film the Lights from your front porch. We would happily come back for dog sledding in the winter!

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!
