“Amazing retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We came to see the Aurora but although we only caught a glimpse on the last night, we still had the most amazing experience in the Yukon, thanks to the hospitality of the staff, the serenity of the location, the quality of the lodge and the food and the general atmosphere created by everyone associated with the Lodge. Beautiful scenery and the snowmobiling, ice fishing, dog sledding, snow-shoeing and generally isolated feel really made it a unique and brilliant experience.

Would love to return in either winter or summer, and would recommend to anyone.

Room Tip: Jacuzzi Room (north facing) or Fireweed Cottage are the best...

“A great place to spend Christmas”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

We did the 3 night winter package over Christmas and loved it! The lodge is beautiful and elegantly decorated yet the atmosphere is casual and homey. All the staff and guides were helpful and the food was a treat.

“Unique and gorgeous”

The Inn on the Lake is not your typical hotel. It's rustic and casual and amazing. If you're looking for five-star service and belies of maids and concierges, this is not your cup of tea. If you're content with beautiful, spotless rooms, fantastic food, and friendly, personal service in a stunning setting you'll love Inn on the Lake.

“A Beautiful Yukon Retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

We have lived in Yukon for four years but have never visited Inn on the Lake. Last weekend we had a Christmas party and the experience was fantastic. The facility, staff treatment, and gourmet meal were all outstanding. My wife and I also booked a room and stayed the night. I would describe the room and the Inn as Rustic Elegance. The building itself and all the classy decorating made one feel very special. This accompanied by cold Yukon scenery made for a perfect stay. Even though the Inn for us is close to home we will definitely go again for a weekend getaway. Very Impressed! Thank you! Jim Wilson.

Room Tip: We stayed in the Presidential Suite. Very special indeed!

“A refuge in the High North”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

The Inn on the Lake is a wonderful, cozy place to stay when visiting the Yukon. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable, the staff is warm and friendly, and the food is outstanding -- better than in many "gourmet" restaurants we've eaten in. Although it's only yards from the Alaska Highway, there's hardly any traffic, so the location is quiet and peaceful; most of the time, the only sounds are the wind and the waves gently lapping against the Marsh Lake shore. And when the aurora cooperates (as it did, spectacularly, when we were there in October), the Inn is a perfect place to see it from.

The guests come from around the world -- a family from Texas was there when we arrived, and others from Japan, the US, Canada and Australia (hi, Toni F!) came during the course of our stay. Everyone is relaxed and friendly there, making for great conversations over meals or just sitting in the large sitting area overlooking the lake.

A car is a must to get around, and getting around is definitely worth it. There are many, many places to visit and sights to see in the Yukon that you won't see anywhere else. The nearby town of Whitehorse is definitely worth visiting, especially to pick up that cold weather gear you forgot to bring or didn't thing you needed. :)

We plan on returning to explore more of the Yukon, and we will most definitely stay at the Inn again when we're there.

Room Tip: The Duck and Fish rooms and Jacuzzi suite are outstanding rooms for couples.
