Experience Hidden Valley B&B for Yourself Through the Blog

This past month Whitehorse hosted the 50th annual Sourdough Rendezvous festival for 2014. A friend of mine took some great fireworks images.  I wanted to share them with you. These give the Northern Lights a run for their money.  They were spectacular this year....

The increase in light has been phenomenal. Here are some great March, winter shots of the snow, the dogs and the light. Three weeks ago, we had Northern lights that were breath-taking….two weeks of them…three nights in a row both weeks. No matter how often you see...

This year was the 50th Anniversary of our annual winter festival Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous. The girls from The 98 Hotel won the Tug-a-Truck competition again. We have some great shots of them celebrating their victory at the hotel. The ice carvings were spectacular...

Just prior to our  Sourdough Rendezvous Winter Festival we did a Mexican Cooking Class here on day one, and then an all-day conference the following day with Champagne Aishihik. We had a lot of fun and very good food. Here are a few shots from our day. Eva...

These images were taken by Hidden Valley Bed & Breakfast guests that enjoyed an ice fishing trip and a dog sled tour (earlier in February) provided by the nearby Muktuk Dog Sled Adventure company.  The Muktuk kennel is only 20 minutes away from the Hidden Valley...

Earlier in February we had the pleasure of meeting guests from Japan and Mexico.  The images below are from a family party that they attended. Eva        

There are many wonders of a snowfall. We are so fascinated by falling snow, how it arrives, where it lands, how it transforms our landscape, etc. Have you ever wondered if each snowflake is unique? The images below of magnified snowflakes will easily answer that...

Our Bed & Breakfast guests were treated to one of mother nature's spectacular sites - the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).  We were able to view them directly from our deck!  It was such a beautiful display and our guests were able to capture these images. It is...

Earlier this month we received quite a lot of snow. After the snow had stopped I walked around the property capturing many objects with snow piled high.  I then had a funny thought - Dr Suess.  The snow piled high on the picnic table made me think of objects in Dr...

February 1st - where did that last month go?  We have been so busy here at Hidden Valley B&B that I have not had a chance to upload the images from our wonderful Christmas dinner and celebrations - until today. This year our celebration consisted of 37...

Well we had an “Early Christmas” this year because our youngest son and his family are going to Costa Rica. We had traditional Polish dinner of borscht, cabbage rolls, three kinds of pierogies; traditional,  sauerkraut and Cheddar, along with a ham, green salad...

We have a beautiful blanket of snow covering the ranch. We have had some really cold weather in December but I still love these winter images (from inside our cozy house). The shortest day of the year (December 21) is quickly approaching.  After that our days...

We decided a few months ago to change the seating configuration in our family room (the one nearest to the kitchen).  We had L-shaped built-in seating with a coffee table in the corner. Here is what we started with. Here are a few images of the progression of the...

We started our Christmas baking this year with a special shortbread recipe.  It is one of my favourites - it just melts in your mouth. My two granddaughters (with Dad's supervision) helped with this baking.  I remember baking when I was younger - getting the...

We have a tradition of decorating the Christmas tree with our family.  We now have many grandchildren to help us. It is so fun to build these memories with the grandchildren. This is quite a tall tree - so sometimes a little assistant from the taller decorators...

We are preparing for winter and Christmas at Hidden Valley Bed & Breakfast. We started by transforming our family room (next to the kitchen). We removed the built-in couch.  It was quite the amazing transformation thanks to Inspired Interiors in Whitehorse....

I just realized that I hadn't shared any of our photos from the UK.  This was the second country we visited on our trip (after France).  We were lucky to be able to stay with my cousin (Anne) and use it as the home base for the touring of London.  Here...

We are happy to announce that we have booked the entertainers for the March and April 2014 Home Routes concerts. March 11, 2014 - Rosalyn Dennett and Frank Evans April 9, 2014 - Alan Gerber Eva

It’s been busy between the HomeRoutes bluegrass concert, the AGM dinner here for the Yukon Bed and Breakfast Association and Teresa Doyle's performance last Friday night. In between we had Halloween and lots of fun with the grandchildren.   Teresa’s concert was a...

The last stop of our trip was in Panama for two weeks.  What a beautiful country!! It is extremely lush and green right now, and it is very diverse.  I especially like the high country.  Now that the Panama Canal is operated by Panamanians..(it was under the...

One of the most enjoyable parts of our trip to France was the many spectacular meals we ate.  It is hard to find the words to describe how delicious the meals were.  I'm not even sure that - divine - does them justice. Here are a few images from one of those very...

You may have noticed that we haven't posted a new blog entry for some time.    We have just returned from vacation and I thought you may be interested to see some of our experiences in France. Our first stop was a wedding in France …. one of our cousins. I had the...

We have had to start packing up the yard for winter.  It is hard to believe that fall is upon us.  I feel like we just took all the pots out of the green house and placed them in the flower beds.  The summer sure flew by. We have removed all the plants from the pots....

We have been so lucky this summer with our flowers at Hidden Valley Bed & Breakfast. Before we emptied all the pots for winter, we took some images. Geraniums potted for winterThis time of year is bittersweet.  It has been so great enjoying the gardens and the...

I went out into the yard today to capture some images of the spectacular poppies that we have growing here at the Hidden Valley B & B ranch in Whitehorse. It is sad to think that winter is coming soon.  It will be comforting to look back on these images on one of...
