How to Reach Us

The remoteness of our Inn is part of it’s charm. It allows us to experience the Yukon wilderness and the Northern Lights without interference.

Flying into Whitehorse

The most hassle-free way to reach us is by flying into Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport and then making your way to us via car. Our partner airline, Air North has several flights a day between Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Whitehorse.

Once you’ve landed at the airport, there are several options for you. You can:

  • Book a rental car for the duration of your stay.
  • Take a taxi directly from the airport.
  • Reserve a shuttle with us.

Shuttles run daily from 6am - 6pm and are $100/person one way. Reservations for a shuttle must be made in advance by emailing us at info@exceptionalplaces.com.

Driving Directions

Inn on the Lake is located at historic mile 883 on the Alaska Highway.  We are located directly on the shores of Marsh Lake, 55 km (~35 minutes driving) south of Whitehorse, Yukon.

From Whitehorse

Head onto the Alaska Highway in a south/east direction. Your landmarks to watch for are:


  • After 15 minutes you will come to an intersection of the Alaska Highway and the South Klondike Highway. Continue on the Alaska Highway.
  • In another 10 minutes you will cross a blue bridge.  At this point you are crossing the starting point of the famous Yukon River.
  • In 10 more minutes you will cross a small bridge, the McClintock River.


We are located 9km or just over 5 miles after this bridge. In 2 km from the bridge you will see beautiful Marsh Lake on your right.  The Highway curves along the lake at this point. As the Highway begins to straighten and pull slightly away from the Marsh Lake on your right, watch for our sign in about 2 km. Turn right at Nolan Road and you will see Inn on the Lake on your left in about 300 meters.

From the South

If you are traveling from the south, we are located exactly 27 km from “Jake's Corner” on your map. When you see Marsh Lake, next to the Highway and on your left, you are about 4km from Inn on the Lake.
