    The setting was beautiful Farm in the Yukon. It’s how best to see what the Yukon is like for those who live there.

    It is a big farm with a lovely host couple, a friendly dog, three horses, and one donkey. 30mins drive to the Fox Lake, an excellent place to watch the northern lights.

    It would be great if we could select the accommodation beforehand. There are two floors in The Big Red Barn. It was quite difficult for the kids to go upstairs.

    It’s very clean and comfy. The location is perfect for viewing aurora. There are horses and donkey which is suitable for family with children. Krystal, the host, is so nice and she always replies our questions promptly. She also provided blocks for my kids to play. Thanks so much.

    The comforts of home in a near-wilderness ambience

    The kitchen could be a bit more generously equipped with dishes. There were only four sets. We had to buy some extra when our daughter came over with her two girls. The toilet reeks a bit of urine - probably generations of uncultivated males, who have not learned from their mamas the basic laws of physics, which make it impossible for a standing grown man to pee without misses or rebounds. The operators of rented accommodations will be left with the aftermath.

    The place is out in the middle of nowhere by the standards of most places except the Yukon. It is about a half hour from Whitehorse centre. We picked it because we hoped to be out of the light pollution of the city in order to catch some northern lights. The location would have been good, but Whitehorse was socked in with clouds almost the entire. period. We did manage to catch three great shows in Inuvik, though. The hosts are super nice. It is really a hobby farm with horses and donkeys, and the odd deer coming by for a visit. You can hike right out the back yard or take a short trip down the next road to the Yukon River. The winter scenes were sublime. The hosts made some great suggestions for dog sled tours and snowmobile tours, which we took up.

    Location was away from the city so you could see the northern lights if they were out and it was also close to Eclipse Nordic hot springs. There was also a discount at the hot springs for staying at the Big Red Barn. :)

    Perfect Romantic Get-Away Place

    We didn't see any signage to get to the place or on the grounds saying we were at the right place, so it would be helpful if the owner could place a placard out by their driveway entrance. Google maps led us right to the place but then we wondered if we were wrong as there was no sign. Of course once in the drive way you can see a smaller red barn behind the main house. Little did we know our accommodations were in an even bigger Red Barn past that one !

    Only about thirty minutes (or less maybe?) outside of Whitehorse on your way to Dawson City. Think upper scale accommodations although its listed as a "barn." It's actually an apartment inside of a modern red building/barn back behind the owners home. There was a horse and donkey in a pen on the grounds and I'm sure I saw a chicken run by. No restaurant or stores near-by so there is food to purchase sitting in the big freezer. Full-sized fridge, stovetop, oven, all the kitchen gadgets plus! There was even a panini maker and a cappuccino machine, all ready to push start! Tablecloth, spices, massive TV , big out door deck, and its near access places to Lake LaBerge and very close to drive to the Hot Springs (and the red Barn will give you a discount code to get you 35% off your soak in the three hot pools and saunas there. Check out the heated slabs to lay on in the quiet room and eucalyptus sauna). You apartment has one bedroom but there were three of us and the host prepared two single beds around the base of the bigger queen bed. We slept super well and the place was very quiet and warm. There are Beautiful antiques, first rate bedding, stand up shower and mattresses, amazing towels and set-up. They spared no expenses in building this beautiful apartment. Couldn't have been any better! The hostess was very pleasant and accommodating. Perfect place for a couple for a weekend get-away to the springs or for people returning or going to Dawson City.

    Not super close to town. About 15 minutes to the center. If that is a turnoff then this isn't for you. (If I'm being honest that would go in the things I like)

    Full kitchen! FULL size stand up deep freezer, in addition to full size Fridge/freezer. Super comfortable beds and HUGE bathroom/shower. Fire pit, gas grill, too many things to list. Very engaged hosts, texted me well in advance with additional details and information. And I didn't even mention the animals, donkey, horses, and a lovable farm dog. Fantastic experience overall.
