About this property

Aurora Loft

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 Aurora View Loft is a spacious 1,100 sq. ft., two-bedroom, upper-floor apartment. The two north facing windows from the living and dining room offer sweeping views of the northern sky--perfectly situated to catch the dancing aurora. The apartment comes fully loaded with dishes, pots and pans, microwave, fridge, range, dishwasher, and an automatic espresso machine loaded with a locally-roasted coffee blend. The apartment features radiant heat and is tastefully decorated with authentic Yukon-themed movie posters, art by the Yukon’s own Emma Barr, and antique furniture. This accommodation offers a one-of-a-kind Yukon experience!

Note: The Aurora Loft is not pet-friendly. If you're travelling with pets, ask about availability in our Sweet Garden Suite.
