Where to Stay : Muktuk have several accommodation options on-site. Their spruce-log Yukon B&B is in the main lodge, with 2 double guest rooms. There are also 3 cabins (ranging from luxury to rugged) overlooking the Takhini river and Ibex valley.

Getting There : Driving time from downtown Whitehorse or the airport is approximately 20 minutes. From the airport, travel north on the Alaska Highway (Highway 1), passing the Dawson City turn-off until you see the Muktuk sign on the right of the road. Turn right at the blue flags and sign that says Husky Trail, and drive for 4km until you reach the main lodge.

Note from Robin : I’ve never seen a happier, better looked after group of dogs and puppies than those on Muktuk. Even if you don’t want to go sledding, it’s worth visiting the ranch to meet the dogs, learn about the sport, and perhaps stay for the delicious Taste of Yukon feast. It truly is a place for people who love dogs. On clear nights in winter, staying over comes with the bonus of being perfectly positioned to see the Northern Lights. It does get cold in winter, but Muktuk have gear (including footwear) to ensure you stay warm.
