Gilmore House

We are located off of historic Gilmore Trail appx. 10 miles north of Fairbanks. Our cute 3b.r.- 1 bath home can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people and is perfect for anyone who is interested in exploring the Last Frontier at your own pace. We have a large deck located on the 2nd floor and a large front porch, both overlooking the historic Gold filled hills north of town. Great for watching the Northern Lights or enjoying the Midnight Sun! The kitchen has pots & pans, dishes, silverware, baking pans, cake pans etc. and we always provide, with our compliments, a food *'Starter Kit' with things like Bacon & Eggs & OJ plus a variety of condiments, salad dressings, spices, and more, plus some snacks & bottled water. In the freezer there are always a couple of pizzas! *(Gluten /Dairy free options available upon request with advanced notice). So much easier than trying to find a Grocery store before you've even had a chance to get settled in! With a little notice, we can pick you up or drop you off at the Airport or Train Depot. We are Pet friendly & have water & food bowls & a blanket for your fur babies. We live next door, so no matter what time of year you come to Alaska, we are always available should you need anything & we will do our absolute best to make sure you and your family & friends have a great visit! No matter where you choose to stay, whether with us or elsewhere, we hope you have a wonderful time in Alaska!

Our stay was wonderful, Martin & Laura were extremely accommodating and communicated well. We stayed for 9 nights while we sold our Fairbanks home and they were very kind and helpful while we had a lot going on. The house is older and has a great Fairbanks/cabin vibe. The house was very cute and comfortable and had everything we needed (including fans!)

What an AMAZING hidden gem! The house was seriously so cool. So many things to look at and read. The kitchen was perfect for our needs and the bedrooms were great. But honestly, the best part of this entire stay was getting to meet Laura and talk with her. What an amazing woman with some amazing stories about coming to Alaska. She is seriously the sweetest, coest person to talk to and so incredibly hospitable. We absolutely recommend staying with Laura and Martin at the Gilmore house!

Laura and Martin were amazing hosts! The cabin is cozy and warm. If you are going for the Northern Lights, this cabin is the perfect spot. Close enough to the city for touristing during the day and far enough in the hills to get out of the ice fog and watch the Northern Lights dance at night. Highly recommend this rental!

Cute, simple, rustic Alaskan cottage just outside of town enough to soak in that Alaskan feel but close enough to be a good location for taking in all of the things Fairbanks offers. Ohh and the view into the valley below is fantastic! Martin and Laura are wonderful hosts and offer any help you need in planning, places to visit, things to do, etc! They even included some fresh eggs, bacon, and snacks to start the trip off right! On this trip, we were able to see eagles, moose, caribou, fox, a beaver and a porcupine while in the area. Also, I must mention if you’re the pioneering spirit, there is a public access creek only minutes away from Gilmore House to try your hand at gold panning! We didn't get rich but those colors in the pan were pretty exciting to see!Anyone wanting to have that classic alaskan stay with beautiful views, fresh air, and no traffic to simply relax, you should give this place a look!

From the start of our vacation communication with the host was exceptional. We were not guessing when we arrived on the process to check in Directions were spot on and we arrived with ease even in the dark. They provided snacks for us which came in hand when we arrive late and my kids were hungry. The house is clean and warm The host were helpful when planning tours or if I had questions and gave wake up calls when the auroras were out. We were grateful and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Gilmore house and Fairbanks in general.
