Inn on the Lake - Whitehorse

On the lake very fabulous, the staff were delightful & dinner at the lodge was delicious!

Loved being offered a bowl of soup and slice of homemade bread that I could heat up myself upon our late arrival. Very personalized, sweet accommodation to our needs after a long travel day. Enjoyed meeting the couple who run this idyllic, charming lodge.

The shower faucet in the fish room isn’t great for tall people.

It was like staying at a private lakeside residence. The breakfast and service was excellent. Great views of the lake from the dining area.

I had booked the Presidential Suite, which was lovely. 2 bedrooms, one each for my daughter and I. Great space and very clean and comfortable. mini kitchen, mini fridge, separate dining space, outdoor space, living room, etc.

I booked this particular property because their marketing focused on the owner/chef’s “inspiration… where local flavours are infused with cultural and culinary differences”. He also shared that chefs from around the world “bring a cosmopolitan note during hosted special events”. It doesn’t state that this person would be our “owner/chef”, but as one with an Advertising/Marketing background, the promise is very, very close to lying. I’m a foodie and my 23 year old daughter loves food and is always open to new experiences. And, this is where the Inn on the Lake falls spectacularly short. Not once in our three night stay did the chef/owner prepare one of his culinary inspirations. He did show up one morning to give instructions to the workers outside that we overheard. We were only recognized as paying guests after initiating the interaction myself. Now, the details: Breakfast: Reheated burritos from frozen, reheated frozen hash browns just like the McDonalds option, mini quiche one morning that were 100% from a frozen box selection. Two mornings we were fortunate for some protein. Two mornings, we had no juice or milk/cream available for coffee or tea. After much conversation, some milk alternative was provided and the frozen juice can was thawed and offered. Dinner was ok, but in no way represented the cost, nor the marketing promise in the sales pitch. Very disappointing as this destination was the highlight of our trip.
