We had a great stay at this home in Fairbanks. We stayed for 3 days and it had everything we needed for that time. Check in was easy, communication was excellent, and the beds were very comfortable. It was a perfect stay all around!

This is an excellent home for a winter stay. It has a heated garage, convenient location, and the property manager, Juan, is excellent. There it one potential negative though. The name for the property implies that you will see the northern lights from the property. It is in a neighborhood with street lights and across from a medical facility with lights. Those are not ideal conditions for the aurora.

The host was very responsive. The washer and dryer were very helpful even though the dryer didn't work until I pulled it away from the wall. The heated garage was appreciated. The garage door was finicky. We had to reset it to get it to close. Overall it was a great trip. Any issues were minor

Had a great stay at the property. Very clean and great floor plan for a family. The location could not have been better if you are looking for a place that is easy to get to any part of town! Juan was a super host as well and was a great help. We will definitely book again.

Fantastic stay!

This house was the perfect place for us (2 adult couples) for the Fairbanks portion of our Alaska trip. It was a great size and location, immaculate as far as cleanliness and the host was fantastic at communicating. The Riverwalk path was right there for me to get my morning runs in, and we saw an incredible aurora display our last night there (went over to the canoe launch area by Heritage Park).I’d definitely stay there again!
