*We have small children ourselves, so have tried to make our place family-friendly. There is a pack-n-play, high chair, a basket of kids toys, puzzles and books and a few pre-teen chapter books for your convenience.
This area is generally very peaceful and quiet. However, as it is an aviation-centered community, there is the potential for airplane noise—planes coming and going sometimes as late as 10 pm. Please let me know if for some reason you need quiet earlier than this on any certain night and I will try to let my husband know to not go flying on that night
*Unsanctioned parties will result in an additional $500 penalty fee. If the apartment is left extremely dirty and needs deep cleaning, there will be an additional $200 cleaning fee assessed.
Late check out- we have a 10 minute grace period, after 10 minutes we charge $50 per half an hour until check out or double the nightly rate after one hour.

Would give this VRBO 10 stars if that was possible!!! Everything was perfect and the hosts really put a lot of thought into making sure everything in the home was comfortable and functional. My husband has a bad back and is very picky about beds, and this one was firm and super comfortable. The location is super central to anything you would want to do in Fairbanks. It is also super quiet and very picturesque. We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends!

We stayed at this property in Fairbanks with my husband and another couple, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience despite some initial stress. After my original reservation was unexpectedly canceled a month prior to our trip, I was worried about finding a replacement. Luckily, we found this VRBO rental, and it worked out beautifully.The home is converted from an old hangar into a spacious 3-bedroom house, and it is both modern and cozy. The décor is stylish, everything felt very clean, and the setting on a small body of water made it unique and peaceful. Small planes do occasionally take off across the river, but they were more entertaining than bothersome—we actually enjoyed watching them.A couple of minor drawbacks: there was only one television in the common upstairs area, which felt inconvenient since we gave the upstairs space to the other couple we were traveling with. It would be nice if the master suite (on the lower level) had a TV, or even one in the kitchen/living space, to make it more comfortable for all guests. Also, the towels were left in the washer when we arrived, so we had to dry them ourselves. I think having fresh, ready-to-use towels provided should be a standard part of the stay.That said, these were small issues compared to the positives. The location was excellent—close to downtown Fairbanks, grocery stores, and the activities we wanted to do. Overall, it was a clean, comfortable, and very convenient place to stay, and I’d recommend it

The pictures of this home and property do not do it justice the home is lovely it has everything you may need for your stay. The decor was so tastefully done. The view every morning and evening was the best part. The lake with the planes coming and going was so much fun. We even had a moose visit late one evening and the ducks swimming in the lake. This property is so centrally located to everything that you will need. Easy access to the freeway, grocery stores Pioneer Park and shopping. You must try the Pump House for dinning, and it is just down the street. Ruth was wonderful to work with, and she helped with all our questions we needed.

Beautiful Home!
We absolutely LOVED our stay! This was the first time I’ve booked a VRBO because we usually stay in our timeshares so I didn’t completely know what to expect. The property is beautiful, the jacuzzi tub was amazing (I’m kicking myself that I didn’t take a picture of the brand!), we saw the Northern Lights from the deck and there was plenty of room for our family of five to spread out. There was everything we needed from extra blankets to toiletries to a crock pot and more. If we return to Fairbanks we know where we’ll be staying. These accommodations and hosts helped make my son’s senior trip even better!

Beautiful Location
We did a couples' trip to Fairbanks for an extended winter weekend. Unfortunately, holiday travel delays forced us to adjust our initial plans and request a change to our stay. Thankfully, the host was accommodating, and our friends were able to check in two days early!Our stay was lovely overall. The property is stunning, with all the amenities you could need. The sleds and snowshoes were a fun bonus that added to the winter experience.Our only issue was with the heat. When our friends arrived, the property had no gas, so there was no heat or hot water on the first night. Thankfully, this was resolved the next day, and the host was very communicative throughout the process. However, due to the home’s concrete structure, it took a long time for the space to warm up. The downstairs became comfortable after a few days, but the upstairs remained chilly and took a long time to warm up. Those staying upstairs had to rely on the radiator nightly to stay warm.Overall, we’d rate our stay 4.5 out of 5 stars due to the heating issue. That said, everything else worked out wonderfully, and we’d recommend this property for a winter getaway!
