We really enjoyed our stay in the Cyr Suite. It's quite spacious with the convenience of a kitchen. The furnishings are a little dated but everything worked well. You can't beat the location! Highly recommend.

We left after 5min because of cleanliness. We found a hair in the bed, and a pile of (dirty?) bedsheets bunched up on the floor in the closet. The property is in a state of disrepair with rotted boards, broken banisters and overgrown landscaping. We went to the owner's house next door when we arrived and the entrance was covered in cobwebs. The Stratford Motel is about the same price and it is better value. The owner seems nice enough however.

Jolie maison d’hôte idéalement située au centre ville de Whitehorse. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l’accueil de Bernie, le caractère Historique de la bâtisse, la propreté des lieux, le confort des lits, la possibilité de cuisiner et de passer du temps devant le poêle à bois! Merci encore Bernie!!!

Thanks to Bernie and Pam for the opportunity to stay in their charming summer overflow house right in the heart of downtown. The place is spacious and well-appointed and has different vibrant wall colours in every room! Amazing value, ideal location, kind hosts. Be aware that the walls are thin so you might want to bring earplugs if you are very sensitive to noise.

Bernie kindly greeted us very late at night after a long day of airline delays. The suite was everything we needed for a few days in Whitehorse and was within walking distance of downtown. There's a beautiful garden in the back and two friendly dogs, although they nearly gave me a heart attack when we arrived so late at night ha ha. It was a great stay at the Historical Guest House.

When we were arriving, I messaged the property to let them know when we would likely check in but received no response so I was a little worried that no one would be there to check us in! Thankfully Bernie was there in the end to check us in. Would have been nice to get a response though! Upon arrival the front door lock was broken but Bernie fixed it that day. Our room only had a bolt lock so there was no way to lock it if we weren’t in the room itself so something to keep in mind. The guest house had everything we needed to cook which was nice and the green room perfectly fit 3 people. The house itself is a historical house so is old and creaky so it is impossible to be really quiet if getting up in the night unfortunately but something to expect when booking here. That being said, this was good value for the price and having the ability to cook is a great way to save money when travelling !

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! It was perfect for our family of four who spent a few days exploring Whitehorse. The suite had everything we needed and was close to downtown. It's not a fancy place (which suited us just fine!) but the property and suite are well maintained and the owner, Bernie, was incredibly helpful and nice. I would definitely recommend!

Has potential. Security ia a challenge. My bedroom door did not lock from the outside and the front dòor was often unlocked. I had to go downstairs in the night to use the washroom. The house felt empty and there was no service other than when arriving.
