"Good"

4.0

The location on the lake and good walking distance to everything. Quieter in old town. Could see the aurora lights from yard. It was the best part of being there. They have a dock where you can watch the planes take off. It is right across from them.

The cabin was not clean, we had to sweep it out on arrival and had to rid it of all spiders. The bathroom sink, the only sink in the cabin was very very small and filled with water very quickly so very difficult to wash or brush teeth. They was no counter near the sink to be able to leave your toiletries. It is a very small bathroom. They left a kettle for tea, but you could not fill it with the sink or for that matter wash the cups. So could not use so should not advertise it as having. No one was on site to speak to. They show a table and looks like there is room in cabin but the table is right next to the end of bed. The place needs a good cleaning and upgrades to bathroom, even if it is just the sink being replaced as it is very difficult to use the one there as so tiny.

"Great location, amazing views, and very comfortable. You won't be disappointed."

9.0

We spent 2 nights at this location and were pleased with this choice. Located in the Old Town, it offers easy walking access to the entire of Old Town, the Bush Pilots memorial (make sure to go up that rock for spectacular views) and many top-notch fish and chips places or try the restaurant on the premises that is well rated as well. Room was clean and comfortable and offered views on the lake and has a great balcony.

For a multi-day stays, it would have been nice to have a few quick supplies in the room like coffee / tea / sugar and creamers. There is a fridge and minimum cutlery / cups etc but you have to buy everything - there are no easy breakfast / coffee shops around.

"Perfect place and location for our families short stay in Yellowknife."

This 3 bedroom apartment had large bedrooms, comfy beds and lovely common space. It has a fabulous deck off the upper level overlooking the water. A deck on the water was great for coffee, swimming and watching the float planes

"オーロラや湖の自然が最高"

9.0

オーナーがとても気さくでよい人柄です。部屋の雰囲気もとても落ち着きリラックス出来て良い。冷蔵庫、電子レンジや食器もそろっており、部屋での食事もしやすい。 名前の通り、オーロラも部屋を出てすぐのテラスから夏の時期でも、わずかな時間だけ観ることが出来ました。楽しい滞在をありがとう。

シャワーの冷温調節が途中で少しおかしくなったりしていたので、浴びている時にうまく調節が必要だった。

"It was ok."

5.0

There is a restaurant below that was good. Location was beautiful but not as accessible to pier at appears in pictures. The chairs by the lake are on a floating dock that you have to walk down to. It appears in pictures like it is easy to go out have coffee by water but there is balcony that you can still enjoy.

The parking is terrible. As the restaurant is quite busy, and there are only 6 stalls, if you leave chances are good you will not get to park there until after 8pm. They charge at $1000 cleaning deposit at the end of your stay. This is not advertised or was not informed until we left. They reimburse you once their cleaners have cleaned the room and takes about 4 days. This would not have been such at shock if this information was included with booking information. We also had contractors working outside our door until midnight 2 of our 4 nights. Stairs are quite steep with not much of landing at top if renting the suite.

"Great find on the water!"

9.0

Amazing spot to stay in the Historic Old town of Yellowknife. We had the 3 bedroom suite on the second floor and offered an excellent and unobstructed view of the water and the Air Tindi float plane base. Yes you’ll see planes fly in and out multiple times in season. Newly renovated and clean. There is also a restaurant inside same building (Flamecraft). A short walk to other restaurants and little shops. Would definitely stay again.

Beds need to be changed. The king and queen mattresses sag in the middle and make for an uncomfortable sleep .

"It was an excellent stay."

9.0

Fabulous location. Restaurant in the Inn was excellent. Check in was easy. Coffee and tea supplies were great. Contact via text was very good and friendly. Questions were answered promptly.

Mattresses and pillows need to be upgraded. Bathroom sink was very tiny so it was difficult to fill water bottles, wash dishes etc. It was also badly placed directly in front of exit to shower.
