Historical Guest House

This Guest House is just our style! The vibe is flexible, kind and clean. The prices are very fair. We love the use of the kitchen and having your own bathroom. We make use of the wild flower garden for coffee and visits. The location is walking distance to trails, neighborhoods, and town. It’s simple and effective housing in wonderful Whitehorse. 😍

The Historical Guest House (aka the "Sam McGee House") in the heart of Whitehorse is really a little gem. The beautiful garden alone is worth the stay. We will always stay here when visiting our family in Whitehorse. The Guest House is within easy walking distance of everything to see and do in downtown Whitehorse. Hosts Bernie and Pam Phillips are incredibly gracious, genial, and friendly. So are their dogs Lucy and Prince Harry! The upper rooms in the old building offer vintage decor, but we prefer the modern "Cyr Suite" that occupies the entire basement with a full kitchen and two queen beds. Be sure to look around the Cyr Suite and open all the cabinets and drawers to find every possible amenity tucked away like Easter Eggs for guests! Book early (January) for reservations in the summer. Bring slippers for the chilly basement floors!

Bernie was helpful and flexible, which made our stay restful and easy.

The host was lovely and very generous. The house has great character, really enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed our stay in the Cyr Suite. It's quite spacious with the convenience of a kitchen. The furnishings are a little dated but everything worked well. You can't beat the location! Highly recommend.

Nice garden and outside social area

Bernie is an amazing host. We had the lower suite. It was clean, very spacious and very comfortable. Bernie was great to deal with and we would stay here again.

We left after 5min because of cleanliness. We found a hair in the bed, and a pile of (dirty?) bedsheets bunched up on the floor in the closet. The property is in a state of disrepair with rotted boards, broken banisters and overgrown landscaping. We went to the owner's house next door when we arrived and the entrance was covered in cobwebs. The Stratford Motel is about the same price and it is better value. The owner seems nice enough however.

Horrible place to stay. I book a room at the front, and they switched me to a room at the back. They never asked if I wanted to change rooms. The owner just forces the change on me and never gave me a choice. It looks like a nice historical house from the outside, and it is located in a central area, which is great to be able to walk everywhere. Whitehorse is a small town, so everywhere is a short walk. A car is only needed to leave Whitehorse area. On the inside, everything is ancient and needs improvement. The owner was rude to me.
