Wild North Bed & Rest

Comfortable, calm, tv and computer can be used. Everything is clear

Bed was comfortable. Only real complaint was no sound proofing in bedrooms - use earplugs when sleeping. Nice neighborhood for walking about.

A happy stay in Whitehorse We weren't sure what to expect, but coming to Whitehorse for a week we really wanted access to a fridge and kitchen. The reviews were great (they were not so good for the hotels) and since we had a few questions, we called the owner. We got an immediate response! Friendly and professional, he answered all questions and welcomed us to his house. We were not disappointed! The house is clean, our bed was comfortable, so was the couch, the deck is nice, we even had access to the laundry. It is in a quiet neighborhood. Cable doesn't work a lot of the time, but Wi-Fi does. Any questions, the owner is immediately available. Cheryl, the housekeeper, is a total character! Loved talking to her and enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. This is not something you generally get to experience staying in a hotel. Tips: Enjoy the coffee, tea, cereals, milk, bread, butter, jam, peanut butter and spices available for all guests. If you have personal items for the fridge, bag and label them. Don't bother buying ketchup, mustard, mayo, everybody leaves some behind for all to share. Same goes for shampoo & conditioner. Be open to meeting people, you will have fun! Give and take as you wish, but leave the house 5% better than you found it. Go for the 5km walk around the Millennium Trail, easily accessible from the house (turn left and keep walking). It's wonderful! Eat once at Klondike Rib & Salmon Restaurant and get your german bread and cookies at Alpine Bakery, Enjoy!

It was a residential house with your own room, shared kitchen and bathroom, and street parking. Entry was keyless, using a code texted to you, and the bedroom was small but cosy. I did notice the bathroom sink/shower drained slowly, but that was a minor concern. However I was disappointed that when I returned that night, I could smell pot as I entered. So some tenants were ignoring the no smoking inside rule, or left the back door open when they smoked on the deck. Fortunately it wasn't detectable in my room, so just a little annoying.

It’s confusing reading the reviews because it seems this listing is for two different properties. We were in house in a residential neighborhood. We reserved a room with a private bathroom. It wasn’t a bathroom, it was a half bath with no shower or bathtub. Maybe there was confusion between American English and Canadian English? I was expecting to be able to bathe. As two single women, we didn’t feel comfortable showering in the shared bathroom when the other guests were men we didn’t know. The house was clean, had enough blankets, and the communication with the owner was quick.

I doubt that I would have rented if i knew that it was a boarding house with 5 guests.
