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.
