Reviews of Yellow Dog Lodge Transportation Hub (Spa)

You will not find a more relaxing, friendly and clean lodge to enjoy some out of this world fishing. Gord and his respectful staff have always treated me as if I was a member of their family. Look forward to my 2020 fishing trip back to Yellowdog Lodge

Nice place, I have been there several times over many years. It gets better every time.

The purpose of the trip was to hunt for the Northern Lights. The trip began with a short flight to the Lodge. You could see the landscape below which was totally amazing. We booked the executive lodge which I would highly recommended so you could have your own fire and bathroom. We managed to see the Northern Lights every evening. Day time fishing was great fun too. The lake was such a beauty. Staff were friendly and I loved the soup and hot cookies too.

Summer of 2019 was my third time returning to Yellow Doge Lodge. This lodge, and its location, is a place that never disappointments. When I think I have seen and fished it all, Yellow Dog Lodge shows me I am wrong - and this is what keeps bringing me back. I have fished Duncan and Graham Lake for some stellar Northern Pike and Lake Trout, as well as flown out to Johnston Lake twice to go after Walleye in previous trips - all were equally awesome. But in 2019 the highlight of fishing was going after Arctic Grayling on the McRea River that flows into Duncan Lake. This was an awesome day. A snap shot of the day started with guide Gord leading us on a short hike to get to the launch site of the canoes. Once on the river, Gord put us on the grayling and they were biting. But we certainly had to earn it as navigating the river involved encountering several rapids, a gorgeous water fall and portaging the canoes further up river. For any avid outdoors, it was a get day of fishing and being amongst nature.

Perfect little piece of Northwest Territories paradise. Expect to be treated like family and go home relaxed and with experiences that will last a life time.

Our experience is special, I was recommended to try Yellow dog lodge last September to view the Northern Lights. Talking with Alisha, she was informed that this was a bucket list venture for my Mother who was diagnosed with a terminal brain disorder. She may of been a bit surprised there was around 20 of us. Then, Gordon got involved. He made our experience in very short order something dreams are made of. We saw the lights, Patty fed us like kings, Aaron took us fishing and I caught a 40 plus laker! Gordon took my Mom and Dad on a personal boat tour Mom raves about and Alisha made mom comfortable, she was no doubt mom’s favourite caregiver . 5 star no, 15 star maybe, but I would give Gordon and his staff a 100! Enjoy!

Best time ever! Great staff, great food, beautiful scenery and lots of fish! Would definitely do it again!

We stayed at the lodge for 5 days and had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful surroundings, hiking with the resident dog Joey, kayaking or paddle boating (not fishermen) and, most importantly, seeing the aurora at night! Gordon and his staff were wonderful and very accommodating. Pat made plenty of delicious food and fresh cookies, and the rooms were cozy, clean and warm. The day we left the bald eagle that had been roosting across the lake flew over and landed on the tree outside our window. I would most certainly recommend this lodge!!

Gord and his team do an amazing job at making their guests feel at home. The food, accommodations, and fishing are top notch! Looking forward to heading back up in 2020. I highly recommend getting in touch with Gord and booking a trip to Yellow Dog.

This is a one of a kind trip, I have been there in the winter during the northern lights/aurora and also in the summer. Yellow Dog Lodge will make you continue coming back for more. From the exceptional hospitality to the beautiful scenery this place will not disappoint! If you just want to sit in the peace and quite, or go catch trophy size fish, this is the place for you! I will be returning very soon. Thanks again YDL!!!

Awesome experience for myself & family over the new year period. Gord and Team are amazing!

Pam Richardson

We went up to YDL for a team building retreat. It was a truly fantastic experience. The staff at YDL are amazing. Gord Gin really knows how to look after his guests. They always check in to see what you need so they can have things prepared when you need it. The food was fantastic, the location is absolutely beautiful, and the dogs did a great job of keeping the bears away!

My family had an amazing time at the lodge. We were great with wonderful hospitality. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Our fishing guide was amazing we caught a lot of trout and pike. Meals were excellent, we enjoyed the hot tub, and a Campfire. Thanks again for a memorable time.

Had the best winter holiday here with Gordo and the team watching the Northern Lights, Snowmobiling and Ice-fishing. Would highly recommend!

Was there for all ladies weekend trip and it was awesome, staff were friendly and professional. All our needs were met and we were kept busy and happy throughout the weekend. Bonfires in the evenings and crazy games were played for rainy days. Very well planned and organized. I absolutely loved the food, I’m allergic to fish and I was accommodated very nicely.

Charlene Lloyd

Had a great winter holiday with my family (including my 89-year-old father). Food was great. Fishing was great. Everything was great.

I’ve been to Yellow Dog a few times, though it’s been a few years since I visited. It certainly is a once in a lifetime experience. To be so isolated and so comfortable at the same time. The main lodge is warm and cozy and always fill with life and the smaller cabins are a perfect private escape. The fire powered hot tub was by far my favourite thing, sitting in it until the early hours, watching the sun set and counting the stars is just magical. I can’t wait to get up there again. Might have to start planning that trip sooner rather than later.

We had a great time. The staff was very friendly and showed us where and how to fish the lakes. I thought this would be a once in a lifetime trip but afterward I am thinking we need to come back.

James Sit

Simply the best and I have every intention of going back again and again and again
