Many people have a misconception that because the Yukon is located so far up in Canada’s great white north that there are no options for high end accommodation.
The Inn on the Lake does a great job of proving this theory wrong.
Located 35 minutes by car from Whitehorse is where you’ll find this Canada Select 4.5 Star resort. It is situated on the banks of Marsh Lake and is surrounded by breathtaking views. Rarely can you find such peaceful solitude in such a natural environment. Whitehorse even has the best air quality in the world, according to a recent study by the World Health Organization and this translates into everything surrounding the Inn on the Lake.
The Inn on the Lake is not just a relaxing spot to put your feet up and enjoy the view, as the local area is known for great outdoor pursuits. Winter activities include snowshoeing, ice skating, groomed ski trails, snowmobiling, ice fishing, tubing, and Aurora Borealis viewing. Summer activities include bird watching, hiking, cycling, kayaking, fishing, and star gazing.
With so many outdoor activities on the menu guests are sure to work up a mean appetite and with this in mind there is a Chef selected four course evening menu offered daily. Manager Carson Shiftcorn proudly told us that whenever possible the Chef sources herbs, vegetables, fish, and wild game locally.
To top off your stay you can even enjoy one of the outdoor hot tubs or the indoor sauna and the GCAT crew will confirm that the hot tub is not to be missed, especially considering the view.
Thanks Inn on the Lake – fingers crossed we’ll return for another stay.
