Warm in winter, on your terms
In winter, a pellet stove and a space heater keep the suite warm. You control both, so you can set the temperature you like after a cold night out.

Great host! Helped me change date when my plans changed. Very helpful! Beautiful basement suite!
good value & location for aurora season accommodation. Located in a residential area but within minutes (driving) to the airport, grocery store, downtown, old town, and the Ingram trail.
Place was exactly as described. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. A 5 minute walk to Starbucks/McDonalds, about 10 minutes to Walmart/Tim Hortons so it’s in a good spot. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.
The place was sparkling clean, and the bed and sofa were very comfortable. The host was super kind and attentive. Finally, the accommodation is close to everything, shops and restaurants and in a safe part of the city.
Great host that went out of his way to help us receive our rental gear even before our arrival. Very spacious unit.
The unit was very nice, clean, and stocked with everything you might need. The host went above and beyond to provide coffee and snacks in the unit and checked in to see if I needed anything. It was a good location, quite close to everything you need. I would definitely stay again.
This is a great place to stay while in Yellowknife and it’s in a perfect location. The host was very easy to deal with and very quick with messaging back! I would definitely stay here again!
I felt very welcomed and was grateful for the cozy, warm space. Hosts went above and beyond when I arrived in minus 50 weather - my airline lost my carry-on luggage with my winter layers. Highly recommend!
Isaiah was very responsive even late at night and helped us have a smooth check in. His place was comfortable and had everything we needed for the night stay.
I adore the place; you have your own basement complete with a private toilet and a large tv. Isaiah is also personable and responsive. Totally recommend.
The area was close to every place I needed to be, considering I was moving there. Walmart is a 7 min walk, the grocery store and McDonald’s are across the street. The place was nice and quaint, and offered every service listed. The host, Isaiah was very responsive when I had any questions about the area, and was kind enough to accommodate me as needed. Overall lovely experience.
Had a wonderful stay with my family. The space was very clean and comfortable! Isaiah was a wonderful and accommodating host. Electric blankets were a plus! Would recommend!
Beautiful wood craftsmanship in the interior. The TV area, furniture & bedding is all plush & cozy. Would definitely recommend. Very much enjoyed my stay.
