Lovely cabin stay

We really enjoyed our three nights in the bird house during our bike trip to Whitehorse. The cabin was warm and cozy and our dogs enjoyed cuddling by the fire, though had a harder time with the loft! Would certainly stay again

Bird house cabin

Hendrick and Natalie were both wonderful hosts. The cabin was clean and well cared for. While we didn’t use it the fact that Hendrick had a shutter service is nice for those who do want to go paddling on the lake. All in all it was a very nice stay.

The Birdhouse

I was greeted by the Host's (wife) Very Pleasant and gave a full detailed information on how the cabin worked. I was captured by the quaint setting of the cabin. I am glad that I am agile enough to go up and down the ladder to the loft. I found the cabin very clean and organized. Even though I didn't spend very much time at the cabin I enjoyed the stay.
