After having stayed in numerous hotels around the world, this was my first time using Airbnb and traveling to the Arctic. Our host Cynthia made us feel right at home.... read more The b&b was modern, comfortable, and welcoming. Cynthia gave my mother and me a fantastic tour of Cambridge Bay. The b&b also provided an ample amount of food to make breakfast and dinner with. If this is your first time booking an Airbnb, it was a great experience. Unlike a hotel staying at an Airbnb helps one to feel as if they lived there.

This was a great place to stay in Cambridge Bay.
Cynthia picked us up at the airport, was able to help us arrange a few outings, and knows all... read more the restaurants and town amenities.
The kitchen was well stocked for the help yourself breakfast.
Illu is a boutique b & b which has been fully renovated and shows like a new home, it's comfortable - and clean. The owners don't reside there so its similar to a boutique hotel too.
A great choice - enjoy your stay!

Choosing this place to stay was the best idea I have had in a long time. They have a lovely kitchen, which guests are allowed to use. I cooked every... read more night but one. They serve wonderful breakfasts of pancakes and french toast and the like. I did not partake in those because I am watching my weight, but I could cook my own eggs in the morning if I wanted. It was the homiest, most wonderful place! They have a laundry which guests may use. They rent trucks for a bit more than half the price than the competition for guests who are staying with them. The owners took an old building in disrepair and turned it into a wonderful, cozy, luxurious home. The staff was friendly and helpful, giving advice on where to buy what, grocery-wise, cultural advice, directions, etc.I intend to return, and I will stay nowhere else. The owners, as the owners from many places in the North, are from Southern Canada. I only hope they do not decide to move somewhere else before I have the chance to return and stay a month!!! More
