About this property

Garden Suite

Location, location, location. Some say that Whitehorse is just 20 minutes from The Yukon. While we all embrace our capital city as the economic, historic, and cultural hub that it is, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the outskirts of the city and truly appreciate the wild expansiveness of this territory. Located just 25 minutes north of the Whitehorse City Centre--a short 10 minutes off of the Alaska Highway--The Big Red Barn sits in the heart of one of the Yukon’s most popular aurora and night sky viewing areas.

Just off of the North Klondike Highway–on the ‘Marge of Lake Laberge'– The Big Red Barn is easily accessible. While a buffer of trees around our 22 acre property creates privacy, the central area is wide-open so you can fully appreciate the Yukon’s brilliant night skies, the aurora borealis, or our summer's famous midnight sun. Just off of the property, you’ll find ample walking trails including trails to the Yukon River. We're a short drive to the world-class Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, and Bean North Café on Takhini Hot Springs Road. To experience a slice of The Yukon’s grandeur while staying within easy reach of Whitehorse’s attractions and convenience, a stay at The Big Red Barn will give you the best of both worlds.

The Sweet Garden Suite is a spacious 1,100 sq. ft., one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment. It's two patio doors--one from the living/dining room and one from the bedroom--step out onto a covered patio with BBQ and outdoor seating. The apartment comes fully loaded with dishes, pots and pans, microwave, fridge, range, and an automatic espresso machine loaded with a locally-roasted coffee blend. The apartment features radiant in-floor heat and is tastefully decorated with authentic Yukon-themed movie posters, art by the Yukon’s own Emma Barr, and handcrafted furniture built from old growth fir that was repurposed from an authentic Klondike Gold Dredge. This accommodation offers a one-of-a-kind Yukon experience!

Note: With prior approval, the Sweet Garden Suite is pet-friendly. Advance approval is required (fees apply).

What a great property!

This lovely place is located on a quiet horse property out of town. The place was inviting and Krystal was a great host, showing us around and being most welcoming. I would love to be able to stay for several days and just relax. The place is perfect for those heading through town or those wanting to kick back a bit.

Great Stay With Dogs

This property was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The owner was super helpful and accomadating. It was nice that we were able to take our dogs, and it was so much easier than staying with them in a hotel. Walking out the door into the woods for a walk was so nice! We arrived too late to visit the hot springs, but I wish we could have, it's a short distance away.

We loved staying at the Red Barn and our host was very communicative about the place. She invited us to explore the property and visit the animals which was perfect for our granddaughter! When we asked about using a cooler for daytime explorations she brought one over for us to use and was very amenable to anything else we might require. We loved the decor and the coffee machine in particular was right up our alley!

Quiet and cozy

Great little spot off the beaten trail but close enough to get anywhere you may want to go. Very spacious and well laid out, with nice outdoor space should you choose to use it. Krystal was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating of any needs that came up. Would definitely stay again if ever back in the area.

Everything about the property and amenities was perfect. But what truly made this my best sort term rental experience was the amazing hosts. They are the type of family that gives you hope for the future of humanity. I rolled into their property with the last bit of oil remaining in my engine leaking out. They allowed me to park my car in their garage and use their tools to get my car back on the road. Including driving me into town to procure replacement parts, all with smiling faces and never made me feel like a burden. The host’s hospitality was far beyond anything I would have ever imagined and will definitely stay with them for all future Whitehorse visits. Finally, the property have beautiful horses, what is not to love.
