I have stayed at Black Spruce a few times now. Laird is a wonderful host and always accomodating. I have had late check ins with no problems what so... read more ever. The location is unique and ideal. Ultra clean and modern. Has all the amenities you will need with some great added touches to make you feel ultra comfortable. This is my go to spot when staying in Whitehorse!

We spent a night at Black Spruce and we had a great time. The hotel is truly something else, it looks like from the cover page of an architecture magazine.

Black Spruce offers a unique, intimate and beautiful stay in Whitehorse. It’s very clear that the cabins were designed and furnished with incredible thought and care, and the opportunity to... read more enjoy the sauna each night was a complete bonus! My daughter and I wished we could stay for weeks and liked the feeling of watching the leaves and trees and playing board games from our bed. While the space is relatively small, it’s more than enough for two, and the kitchen has everything you need. We loved the books about small homes and cabins, too. We didn’t have a car and were easily able to get there and away by taxi and with the generosity of the owner, Laird, who offered us a lift a few times! On weekdays there is also a city bus that passes nearby, once and hour, and it was great! The only recommendation I have is to bring bug spray, as the mosquitos in the Yukon are big and hungry, and if you want to enjoy a hike behind the cabins or nearby, you’ll need it.

Beautiful unique and modern cabins built with lots of attention to detail, clean, conveniently located and a very friendly host!

Full disclosure here-I am Laird’s mom, so I admit to a certain bias, but then perhaps I am also more discerning than the average person! We, Laird’s dad and... read more I, were lucky enough to stay in the green unit for just under a week in April and I was impressed with Laird’s vision and execution. He has always been creative, sculpting a 3 d sheep out of a single piece of wire as a teenager, building a birchbark canoe latterly. This project, as well, is imaginative, using natural light to make compact spaces feel spacious. Each is a little home, with it’s own take on the forest as framed by a very large window, with elevation and outlook affording privacy. Materials reflect Laird’s dedication to environmental preservation-natural plasters, natural oils on fir floors, strawbale walls. The woodwork of the interior of the sauna is beautiful and the lit boardwalk at night is magical. And the location is fantastic-the little lake and all the trails to explore are all so close to town. It is a refuge in a town that is itself a refuge, but is also the gateway to nature that we all so desperately seek. I am certain that Laird will make you most welcome at this special place.

Such an amazing spot! The host was absolutely great, even drove us to our other camp ground after with our bikes and luggage. Extremely clean and cute little spot!

We stayed 3 nights in the Red Cabin in July. After being in an apartment with no air conditioning in the downtown area for the first week in... read more Whitehorse, this little haven which was just ten minutes from the downtown by car is neatly tucked into the forrest deliberately to give you the impression you are on a getaway in the wilderness, but you aren't really. It is wonderful and it was cool at night, which was a relief in the heat in Whitehorse. Having a modern small house which was cool at night was a treat and it was perfectly set up for us to enjoy. We didn't use the sauna or fire pit as there was no need in the hot summer weather, but we will definitely be back. We enjoyed our morning coffee out in the fire pit area in Adirondack chairs and listened to the birds sing. The host was wonderfully warm and is right on site, so if you need anything - he is just a text away. We will be back to stay again! We loved this place which offers a niche experience.

I noticed and appreciate the comfort, views, integration with nature, design, and utility of Black Spruce.

We spent a few nights here last month. Laird has done an excellent job of creating an oasis among the trees. The cabins belong in a Norwegian forest, and the... read more sauna is truly something else. Really appreciate all the work that has gone into this place.

Laird is a great host who has thought of everything for his guests. We really enjoyed our little chats with him. Cant wait until our next visit!
