Our Log Home

WELCOME TO THE ARCTIC CHALET!

Fireweed / Mountain Avens Cabin

Little Trapper

Cloudberry Cabin

We can accommodate you as a CORPORATE TRAVELER on business in Inuvik or as a visitor or TOURIST looking for a great place to stay. Here you can experience comfort and northern hospitality in a resort-like setting within walking distance of Inuvik.

The Arctic Chalet can offer you the best of both worlds, a beautiful natural environment out of town close to nature and easy access to stores and eating places in town.  Our room/car package is cheaper than what you would pay in most cases for just a room at one of the hotels downtown.  Or you can take a taxi to and from the Chalet once a day for just a few dollars and save more money.  We are only one-and-a-half kilometers from the Visitors' Center and three from the center of town.

Our guests keep telling us how much they like our homey rooms, comfortable beds and charming environment. We hope you will also find yourself at home here at the Arctic Chalet and come away with a unique northern experience unavailable elsewhere.

Each of our log cabins is divided up into 2 or 3 completely separate units for privacy. These are clean, NON-SMOKING ROOMS with either a queen or double bed. Some rooms have an additional single bed for twin or triple occupancy. Each room has satellite T.V. and telephone service. Most units have private bath and a kitchenette with dishes and cookware. The two upstairs rooms in our log home share bath and toilet facilities and a kitchenette. One of these rooms has a large balcony with a nice view over the property and lake.

In each kitchenette we provide coffee makers with coffee and also an assortment of teas, hot chocolate and juice. Some breakfast foods are also available such as instant and cold cereals.

SMOKING is permitted on outside porches providing cigarette butts are properly disposed of. PETS are allowed only in designated rooms. Please inquire before booking.

You can use the Arctic Chalet as a convenient base for exploring the area. Some of our vehicles are meant to be used just around town while others are available to be driven on the famous Dempster Highway and the spectacular ice road to the Arctic Ocean! No one can beat our rates!

If you are into cross-country skiing you can bring your skis and enjoy getting out on our beautiful well-groomed dogsledding trails. You can also go for a good winter hike on snow shoes which are available right here at the Chalet.

Let us know if you are interested in traveling by snow mobile to a really nice secluded cabin not too far from town where you can just relax and enjoy an evening meal.

Puppies Galore

For dog lovers, we have about 25 beautiful WHITE HUSKIES that love to be petted and brushed or go for walks. And sometimes we are blessed with a litter of cuddly playful puppies just waiting for some attention. Occasionally we have PUPS FOR SALE. You might want to get on Judi’s puppy list.

And by the way, all of our dogs are trained to be quiet at night as we hope you are!"

Winter DOG SLEDDING is a favorite activity right here at the Chalet. Explore our beautiful trails with our own all-white Siberian/Malamute huskies. Learn some of the ins and outs of driving your own small dog team on Judi’s popular short dog sled tour. This is a unique and fun experience and a “must do” if you visit the arctic during our snow season. Check out our website at: www.whitehuskies.com.

CANOEING is also available here at the Chalet. You can take one of our canoes out for a tranquil paddle or do a little fishing on Chuck Lake located just behind the cabins. Please be prepared to sign a waiver of responsibility before using one of our canoes.

KAYAK AND CANOE RENTALS, complete with accessories, are also available for those of you who want to plan a trip down one of our great northern rivers. Olav, a retired bush pilot with 30 years of flying experience in the arctic can help you plan your drop off and pick up points.
