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, 25 minutes from downtown Whitehorse 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 10 from all over (Canada, Germany, China, Japan, and the Philippines). We welcome you to work with us and enjoy the magic of the Yukon, Winter Wonderland, 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!
