Great place to stay. We saw a moose and baby cross right in front of living room window. Heated floor and towel warmer are a comfy treat.

We arrived to a very clean and organized house. For a summer stay, it was nice to be surrounded by trees that kept it cool and comfortable at night for sleeping even when the sun has yet to go down! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do on our trip to Fairbanks.

Perfect Getaway
We had a lovely stay! The hosts really go above and beyond to make sure you feel like you're at home with every every detail considered - the beds are comfy, the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked, and everything is very clean. The house is very close to the airport and just a short drive to downtown Fairbanks -- the perfect location to have a quiet place to rest and recharge without being too far from the action. Please note that the larger of the bedrooms is a loft. It was a pleasant surprise to find a washer/dryer. The Northern Lights are addicting, so we hope to be back again!

I had a wonderful stay at Bear Cove! The home is incredibly cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. One of the best things about this spot is its convenient location—just a short drive from the airport, which made travel super easy. Plus, it's close to so many great things to do in Fairbanks, from downtown attractions to outdoor adventures. Whether you're here for the Northern Lights, hiking, or just a peaceful getaway, this place is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!
