My partner and I really enjoyed our stay, and so did our little dog.The house was perfectly set up and had everything we could possibly have needed.The dog and I particularly enjoyed the enchanted forest off the back deck. We explored some trails in the twilight and found our way back by following the fairy lights.I highly recommend.

Adherence to house rules was a major issue with this reservation. Exterior camera footage confirmed five guests checked in, including an unauthorized mother with a newborn baby despite the booking being made for only two occupants, and the person who booked and had said it was for themselves was absent. Feedback about the home was passed along second hand from these unauthorized occupants rather than from the guest on the reservation. We went out of our way to issue a goodwill partial refund for a later arrival that went past our "relaxed" cancellation window out of courtesy but it went unacknowledged. We maintain and represent our home accurately and take great pride in delivering clean comfortable accommodations for all authorized guests.

John was very responsive to any questions that we had and it was very quick to answer. The place itself was amazing. Having the whole house in Yellowknife was just a blessing. I would highly recommend that if you’re coming to Yellowknife to book John’s place.

Four of us travelled to Yellowknife for eight days. This house was excellent for us, with two bathrooms and a tv in every bedroom. Wilderness was literally fifteen feet from the back door. I enjoyed coffee in the screened in porch every morning. My kids And I were right at home in the kitchen. It’s a short walk into the main part of town. The place was clean and John messaged me plenty about the house and things in Yellowknife. It was all above and beyond my expectations.

I very much enjoyed having Dan and his family stay at the house. They're itinerary went beyond the ordinary and they experienced the land in way few tourists get to do. By the end of his trip I felt they had made some core memories and that his experience had him toying with the idea of becoming a Yellowknifer.
