Aurora Loft

We’re a small family hobby farm based just outside of Whitehorse, and this barn is at the centre of our day-to-day life. It’s home to our horses and donkey, and over time it’s become a space we enjoy sharing with guests as well.

Our days are a mix of regular life and time outside, with animals in the background, projects always on the go, and a steady appreciation for the quiet that comes with being just outside of town. It’s a setting that feels a bit removed without being remote, which is something our guests often notice right away.

We’ve been hosting for many years, and creating spaces that feel comfortable and easy to settle into has always been important to us. Both the loft and the suite are set up to be practical, clean, and welcoming for a range of stays.

We keep things straightforward. We’re nearby if you need anything, but otherwise we aim to give guests space to enjoy their time here. Whether you’re visiting for the Northern Lights, the long summer days, or simply a quieter place to land, we’re glad to have you.

This side of Whitehorse is a bit more rural, with a mix of large farms and small acreages, open space, and a strong horse community. The property itself was once a working horse ranch, and that history still shapes the feel of it today.

Living here with horses is a big part of why we chose this location. There are trails and quiet country roads just beyond the property that you can follow for hours, whether for a walk, a bike ride, or simply exploring the area. It’s possible to loop out toward the Yukon River and back without retracing your steps, which is something we’ve always appreciated.

Being on the north side of Whitehorse also has its advantages in the winter months. With the city lights behind you, the northern skies are darker and less affected by light pollution, which can make for better Northern Lights viewing when conditions are right.

Nearby, you’ll find a few well-known local spots including Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, and Bean North Café, all just a short drive away.

It’s a peaceful setting with room to breathe, while still being an easy drive into Whitehorse when you need it.

This is a quieter, more rural stay just outside of Whitehorse, set within a red barn on a small horse property. It offers a different feel than staying in town, with more space, less noise, and a setting that feels a bit removed without being remote.

Guests often mention how peaceful it is here. You have room to settle in, step outside, and enjoy the surroundings without the usual distractions. In the winter months, being on the north side of Whitehorse also means darker skies to the north, which can make for better Northern Lights viewing when conditions line up.

At the same time, it’s still an easy drive into Whitehorse, and close to places like Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, and Bean North Café.

It’s not a resort or a busy property. It’s simply a well-kept, comfortable space in a setting that lets you slow down a bit and experience a different side of the Yukon.
