Activities/Attractions: If you are interested in local lore Ken is a great resource. He can tell you how Whitehorse and the Yukon was more than 40 years ago. Ask him about Whiskey Flats and the Shipyards area or the Klondike riverboat. Let's share camping, travel and exploring experiences. Let us introduce you to the forest where we live, show you our private trails, our lake and small private ponds.
If you watch birds, like to walk in the forest as night falls, recline on a hillside or see the sun circle above on the longest day, this is for you. Here, you can drift about in a canoe or rowboat or paddle on an intimate lake, moments away from your front door.

- You can step out your cabin door,
slip into skis or hiking shoes and explore our trails
- If you like water, then wander down
to the lake, hop into the canoe and go for a paddle
- If you enjoy walking, there are
many private trails to follow to lead you to hill tops and surprising
views
- Try a hill top to view the night
sky or to bask in the summer sun
- Try that same hilltop in winter,
ski up and spend a snowy afternoon drinking tea under a tree
- And don't forget the Northern
Lights are a part of northern life

General Information: See another side of our Yukon Territory. Our fully appointed chalet- style cabins are nestled into the forest, which has been our home for 30 years. We are 20 minutes south of Whitehorse, on the Alaska Highway. A Yukon Forest Cabins stay is an opportunity for relaxation, retreat, meditation or some outdoor adventuring. We could be your vacation destination.
The handcrafted scribed-log cabins will provide the idyllic retreat, an exceptional wedding or honeymoon location (Liesel is an appointed Yukon Marriage Commissioner). The cabins are equipped with two extra-long twin beds which make into one king size bed. A futon couch in the living room can sleep two additional people.
You rise at your leisure and you cook when you're ready. We provide mostly Yukon grown or home-made breakfast ingredients. Our hens lay the eggs, our forest and garden provide the jams and spreads for the home made breakfast biscuits, breads or muffins in your kitchen.
