Great Slave Lakeside B&B is very near to some of Yellowknife’s best restaurants and shops. For instance, a 10 minute walk will get you to Bullock’s Bistro, a unique restaurant that is famous for its Great Slave Lake fish and Weaver & Devore Trading Co. which has a great selection of winter gear including Canada Goose parkas. Also nearby, is the NWT Brewing Company which serves pub food and locally brewed beer. Down to Earth Gallery, which is next door to the brew pub, features beautiful jewelry, arts and crafts made by local artisans. Old Town Glassworks is a cooperative where you can learn to sandblast recycled glass and make your own unique souvenir gift whereas Just Furs features beautiful northern furs such as mink, beaver and rabbit; both are very close to our home. The Old Town is also very well-known for its colorful houseboat community and Pilot’s Monument which offers views of the city skyline, Great Slave Lake and northern landscape. In the summer, you can watch the float planes while dining on the deck of the Wildcat Café, Yellowknife’s first and most iconic restaurants in the North. In the winter, you can enjoy the Northern Lights and a dog sled ride from one of the local tour companies. Downtown Yellowknife is about a 10 minute drive or 25 minute walk and offers many other shops and restaurants.
We have wanted to open a B&B for some time. Blair and I were both born and raised in Yellowknife and sharing our community with others just feels natural. We have two children. We all enjoy spending time outdoors whether we are camping, fishing (summer and winter), snowmobiling, hiking, boating and swimming. The B&B suite is on the main floor of our home. We have included many activity and attraction brochures as part of our welcome package which you can read at your leisure or talk to one of us - we can answer your questions and give you some ideas of what to do while visiting. If you need anything during your stay, you can just ask as we are only moments away.
