About Us | The DYL Story

In 2009 I moved to the Yukon from Vancouver. After spending a number of years working in hotels, obtaining my Masters Degree in International Hotel Management, and struggling to find that elusive next step of my career, the Yukon gave me that opportunity. I originally meant to stay a couple years and move back to the city however opportunity came calling as did a family and nearly 2 decades later in the Yukon and I have achieved my dream since 1997 of owning a hospitality business. 

This property, land, and location represents a new journey for me and my family. The path to supporting the larger tourism industry in the North, and to continue to provide a safe oasis for road weary travellers along the Alaska Highway can be found with Discovery Yukon Lodgings and I look forward to welcoming you.

You will meet the other team members as you explore the property. They will welcome you at the front desk and feed you delicious home cooked meals from the kitchen. The housekeeping staff will have ensured that your room is clean and prepared for your arrival, and the landscaping and maintenance staff’s work should be evident in containers of flowers, the vegetable garden and the well-maintained property. We are all dedicated to making your stay memorable. 

The staff and I wish your stay with us to be imbued with that sense of home in the Yukon and the reason why I have continued to call this area my home.
