The manager was so nice and kind. I asked him for a room upgrade availability and he immediately found one and great rate. Plus the food!! Amazing! Best breakfast ever. Those toasts with butter.. yummy Staff brought the breakfast upstairs in the common area for us to eat instead downstairs at the cafe. That was kind for sure. The room very cozy and warm. We had our own bathroom very nice and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again if we come back.

Breakfast is awesome. You can choose the menu from dancing moose. The portion is large enough for breakfast and lunch.

A bit shabby, sharing bathroom,not ideal,and the rooms small The owners and staff are lovely,the breakfasts are excellent. But for the price,there is bound to be some hiccups. All in all worth the money.

It was really great!! The location eas perfect for me. If you want to see northern lights, Here is the perfect place to stay. And the breakfast is also really good. Many people come here(Dancing moose cafe) to have their meal, but we can have those as free! And the owner is really kind of everything! It was really perfect place for me. Thanks for everything!

Located on the shore of Great Slave Lake, the 5th largest in North America, and a short walk from Pilots Monument, where a great panorama of the city can be enjoyed. Unlike most Bed & Breakfasts, a small licensed cafe, located on the first floor and open to the public, is a part of the experience. In the summertime, we provide maximum potential exposure to the comfort of the midnight sun with an expansive upper deck - open to all guests, a generously sized lower deck - for Northern Skies room guests and a deck adjoined to the cafe. In addition, we offer a floating dock, where you can fish or relax in the summer, or year-round, take a advantage of Rylo Hoovercraft tours - the only hovercraft in town. We have a great expanse of sky viewable from our guest lounge - great year round, but especially for fall and winter aurora tourists!

Debbie and John are the owner-managers. Debbie is "living the dream" of owning and operating and operating a bed & breakfast & Cafe - and her general orientation, training and work experience have well suited her for this role. John is also a CPA and artist hobbyist.

Old Town is the original Yellowknife settlement area - and home to still-standing cabins and shacks from the prospector days. Also, as a complement from the modern area, we enjoy an eclectic collection of house and commercial building designs. Close to our shores are house boaters - known for their rugged individualism and non-conformist lifestyles. The local Air Tindi float plane base is a 2 minute walk away - and viewing float planes in transit adds an interesting aspect to the neighbourhood ambience. You can watch the planes taking off and landing in both winter and summer. Old town is also known for its rugged, rocky terrain, exemplified by "the rock", a miniature mountain that provides an impressive panorama of the city.

The staff was very enthusiastic and provided enough information. The Breakfast was delicious and it’s always difficult to choose every day. The most important thing is, rjust waiting in the house, when the weather is good, enough, the aurora shows in the backyard.

The bed clothing a little too thin for cold nights. But I immediately got an extra when I asked for it. The system for putting away used plates and glasses in our living room could have been better.
The atmosphere was cosy, the location near the lake excellent , and it was quiet.
