Beautiful and Comfortable Log Home with Mountain Views

The Cranberry Lodge Guest House offers our guests an authentic Yukon experience. Located north of Whitehorse in the forests of Ibex Valley and surrounded by mountains and stunning views, the Guest House is a beautiful and comfortable log home that is the perfect retreat for your Yukon adventures. It is close enough to Whitehorse for easy access to the Yukon arts, culture, dining, shopping, and recreation facilities, yet far enough to enjoy the spectacular northern lights (27 km).

The guest house is tastefully decorated with a northern decor and furnished with quality furnishings and modern appliances. All bedrooms are furnished with custom built log beds, side tables, dressers and spacious closets.

Cranberry Lodge!
We had a great stay, it is a very quiet cabin and the property is the perfect distance away from the city. The cabin itself was very clean, and I appreciated that we had a washer and dryer to do laundry as we ended up staying an extra night. Alain was very understanding as I wanted to book an extra 2 nights due to a blizzard, but ended up only staying one extra night as it didn't snow as much as expected. He was quick to book us in for the needed days and quick to give a refund when we decided to leave early and that was very kind.

Our Family Thanksgiving
This property was a great place for our family of 6 to get together. We came from three different locations for our family reunion. Enjoyed husky Mushing the Spa and we did get a peek of a Northern Light ( not lights). The house is well equipped and our Host was Super. Thank you All and Carolyne for a wonderful week, and accommodating us so our family could all be together.

This place was everything we had hoped for and more. Lots of room. Beautiful inside and out. Well furnished with all necessary amenities supplied. My son had a medical emergency our first night there and Al was very helpful and compassionate. Gave us their landline to call an ambulance, talked with 911 operator, waited outside to guide the ambulance, and left us a landline phone for the week in case we needed it. (Cell phone was spotty). He was great and we couldn’t have asked for a better host. Answered any questions I had about the area, gave us suggestions…. Just amazing. Other than that, like I said the accommodation is perfect. You should not hesitate renting this place. You will not be disappointed!!

The lodge is gorgeous, the surrounding area is breathtaking and Al is a delightful host. We were so lucky that we were able to stay at the Cranberry Lodge. It's well-equipped with thoughtful amenities. Although it would have been helpful to have a rental car, we enjoyed walking to Scout Lake and relaxing in the hot tub and grounds.

Amazing Get Away!!
We stayed with Al and Carolyne in August 2023. Their guest home was immediately kept and has everything you need and more! Considering we drove from Edmonton, it is a quick drive to wherever want to go to see the sites the Yukon has to offer and then enjoy a soak in the hot tub at the end of the day. It was wonderful to have main floor bedroom for my mom who has arthritis and has a hard time walking up and down the stairs. I would highly recommend your next stay be a Cranberry Lodge!

Fantastic for the Northern Lights
We used Alains property mainly in the hope of seeing the Lights. We were not disappointed with two showings within the week. The property had three good sized rooms for six people to enjoy with space, good kitchen dining room and chairs. Hot tub was a bonus, though a little too much on the chemicals by the hot tub guy, and plenty of firewood for the fire pit. Nice and clean, lots of heat. The TV area was away in a corner and that suited us as we were more into chatting with friends and playing board games etc round the dining table. We really enjoyed the vacation, and lots to do in winter in Whitehorse

Beautiful and Peaceful
Lovely property and well equipped. We wanted to stay outside of Whitehorse, and this fit the bill perfectly. A car is absolutely necessary, and everything is roughly a 30 minute drive. There is a lot to do in the area, and we were out and about most of the time. We would love to go back in the summertime too. Great vacation, and wonderful to escape to a slower pace.

This lodge is so beautiful! It’s close enough to Whitehorse so you can pop into town when needed but far enough away that you feel you’re out in the wilderness alone!

Incredible cabin stay in a beautiful location
We (group of 4 friends) had the most incredible time staying at Alain and Carolyn's beautiful home, and genuinely couldn't even find fault if we tried! Alain was very communicative pre-trip about instructions to get there and what to expect, and the property is located really well - easy to drive to from Whitehorse, yet far enough away from the light pollution to see the Northern lights. They were also very helpful during our stay if we needed them, but kept out of the way as well. The place is very well stocked, and the kitchen had everything you could need - we cooked a full thanksgiving dinner here! The beds were also comfy and we had plenty of towels, with toiletries also included which was a nice touch. The place itself was extremely clean as well. And we loved all the artwork! We enjoyed the hot tub everyday and on our last night were lucky enough to see the most incredible view of the northern lights directly from the cabin! We all agreed that this was one of the best vacation properties we've ever stayed at.

Ideal for Family Getaway
This property is terrific for a mini break from Whitehorse or for visitors to Yukon. There is lots of space for a family or group and many activities on the property to keep everyone entertained. Our girls (2, 5) loved using the playground equipment and trampoline, as well as roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, and we loved using the hot tub after they went to sleep! There is a beautiful lake (Scout Lake) just a short drive down a dirt road, where kids can splash on some sandy shores and you can watch the fish jump and the loons call. There is also a family-friendly or beginner's hike (1.5 hours, moderate incline) with views of the Ibex Valley and a beautiful rock canyon (Spirit Canyon) conveniently located a short drive from the lodge. The property is joined to the host/caretaker's home but they are very discrete and give lots of space to guests. The hosts, Alain and Carolyne, were very attentive to details; they installed baby gates prior to our arrival as well as provided use of a high chair and bath toys (and crib if we had needed). If you are looking for a quiet retreat where you can actually hear the sounds of nature (as opposed to a noisy campground), this place is ideal. And, you also have the modern comforts of home. It was great to have wifi to watch a Euro Cup game or occupy the kids, lots of fresh towels and a well-appointed kitchen to prepare meals. Perfect to enjoy a glass of wine on the deck while looking out at a field of fireweed.

Perfect getaway
I'm a local, so this was the perfect location to get out of town. Quick drive, easy to get to but feels like you are far. It is a gorgeous property, beautiful well appointed house (including kitchen) and cozy couches for reading. It would be a really nice place to bring visiting family or to go with friends. We brought 2 children who had lots and lots of fun. Hosts were nice, answered questions, were welcoming and gave us space. Would recommend.
