House was easy to find and parking was more than available. Got in and found the room without issue. The room with a bathroom is very misleading. It is only a half bath and not described as such anywhere in the listing that I saw. The shower down the hall was still dirty from the night before. Hair stuck in the drain strainer and 6 used soap bars in the tub. The towel in the room was clean but had a huge hole in it and there was a wet washcloth on the floor in the bedroom. For $145USD I was expecting a little more attention to detail from the cleaning team and a personal shower.
Considering the price tag for this rental, I would have expected the place to be a little cleaner.
The amenities worked well and the people I was staying with were very nice. The room was clean as well. The common areas like dryer and washer were in great need of attention. Seemed like there was too much traffic through the home without adequate staff to clean.
Josh was great at communicating the address, the house code and the way to got to the bedroom in the home, as well as other details regarding parking and house rules. We arrived about 10:30 and got into the house easily, but were greeted with the smell of marijuana. We went directly to our bedroom and shut the door. The smell wasn't bad in the bedroom. I guess I didn't read well enough, as I was thinking that the bear bedroom had a shower/bath, but it was just a toilet and sink. The showers were shared with all the guests. The house was a quiet place to stay.
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.
Home like experience with well stocked kitchen and living room. Residential area within walking distance of downtown. Would be happy to stay here again
Itâs 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 wasnât 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 didnât feel comfortable showering in the shared bathroom when the other guests were men we didnât know.
The house was clean, had enough blankets, and the communication with the owner was quick.
This property was fine but not what I expected because it is not a B&B, itâs a hostel. It has small rooms and shared bathrooms (as advertised) although the bear room did have its own personal bathroom which I appreciated. The common areas were not super clean but not super dirty either. I like places to be super clean so this was not up to par for me personally. The neighborhood seemed very safe and was easy to get to.
Made this booking by mistakeâand couldnât be happier. Gracious host, nice home, room to spread out trip planning materials and very comfortable.
Delighted with our stay!

We were very happy with our stay at Wild North Bed & Rest. We were in the Elk room, which was clean and spacious and had its own heater as well as extra blankets and pillows. The bathroom had those extra items that travellers forget, all ready for any travellers that might have forgotten them. The kitchen was well equipped, available for morning coffee or to have supper at home. Josh and Pamuela were friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. All in all, we feel this was an excellent choice for our stay in Whitehorse.
Really happy with our stay here, the room and property were comfy and clean. Coffee and breakfast/kitchen items were well stocked. Josh was very responsive; we also met Cheryl who was housekeeping and she was absolutely lovely.
