This house was perfect for our team, spacious and everyone had their own comfortable bed. House was very clean including bathrooms and the kitchen. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. Great location as well - only 10 minutes from just about anywhere in town.

Spacious house
We stayed for one night before our Princess cruise. There were seven of us and we didn't even use half of the available beds in this house. The kids enjoyed the basketball court. Big kitchen, lots of seating in the common areas, giant TV, high speed internet, and only 2 miles from airport. Host was also able to accommodate a later checkout since the cruise didn't start until later the next day.

Good Times in Fairbanks
Nice clean home centrally located in Fairbanks. This makes it a short drive to places of interest in the city limits including the airport. Drives to the Aurora Borealis viewing locations we went to outside of Fairbanks’ city lights is approximately 45 minutes. The property owner quickly responded to our questions. Overall a great stay.
