Historical Guest House

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!

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

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.

Such a quaint please. It felt very private and relaxing.

Be prepared for bathroom on lower floor from bedroom
