Description
We are a family‑run, small, exclusive Resort close to Whitehorse in Canada's Yukon. We are on a semi-remote location in the countryside, on private 145 acres, 25min from Whitehorse downtown in the Yukon, with 7 log cabins.
In the summer, we welcome travelling guests who enjoy the great outdoors, hiking, fishing, gold rush history and the midnight sun.
In the wintertime, we focus on the Northern Lights. We do a bonfire outside every night, and our guests can see the Aurora Borealis. During the day, we offer tours and activities like dog sledding, snowmobile, and wildlife viewing.
We are a small team of 7 from all around (Germany, China, Japan, and the Phillippines). We welcome you to work with us and enjoy the magic Yukon, Winter Wonderland, the spectacular views of the Northern Lights in winter, and eternal larger-than-life nature in summer.
There is always work as life here is an everyday new adventure!
Please note: We pay the minimum wage of the Yukon for every hour worked, $17.

Help
We welcome you to work with us at our custom-built Resort in the beautiful Yukon. Our Resort is small and very personal, but you will meet people worldwide and learn about other cultures.
We are looking for helping hands to stain and paint our beautiful chalets, make firewood for the long winter season, do various upgrades on our chalets and trails and do some nice woodwork as well.
You would be an excellent fit for us if you are handy, ideally a carpenter.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.
