The breakfast was fine but never saw the owner/Staff and had to try to figure out how to make coffee because it had run out and they didn't seem to check on anything after they set up for the morning. I finally did figure it out but with no instructions. Need to check on their supplies and stock of food for breakfast.

The Northern Sky Lodge has basic lodging that met our needs during a loop driving tour of central AK. The room and property are clean. The common breakfast area and offerings were fine. Please put up a sign on or next to your mailbox on AK3, as we missed the turn when we arrived as the driveway is somewhat hidden when heading south.

Comfortable woodland retreat

It was cozy and comfortable. There was plenty of space to spread out. Common ateas were large and nicely appointed. Shared full refrigerator available for use. Bed was comfortable with luxurious sheets. Would be great for a family reunion or group retreat. Beautiful outdoor spaces. Would definitely stay here again.

The lodging was in the middle of nowhere. The address says Fairbanks, but it was 20 minutes south of Fairbanks. The place was relatively clean. When I was warm in the common area, I went to look for the A/C before I remembered that there wasn't any. But there was a fan, which had such a build-up of dust that it probably has never been dusted. Who knows what we were breathing in? Another thing I didn't like was that you were requested to take your shoes off in the foyer. I understand that you want to keep the place clean, but if I had known, I would not have even considered this place. It was especially incovenient when on our first morning, we forgot something, and someone had to untie their shoes and go back to the room. Then, we remembered something else, and had to repeat the whole procedure. The room had two queen beds, but it had very little storage space. We were constantly moving things around, which probably contributed to our forgetting things that morning. There were four people staying in the room, and two hangers. The door to the bathroom consisted of two wooden planks hinged together, so it didn't close completely. The walls are very thin. We could hear snoring from the room next door, toilet flushes, people talking and suitcases banging above our heads. ATTENTION: THIS WAS THE MOST CONCERNING. THE WATER HAD A SLIGHT SULPHUR SMELL AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO WASH SOAP OFF COMPLETELY. We used bottled water to brush our teeth and to make coffee.

This place is very unique. It is located about 30 minutes south of Faribanks on a beautiful property. It is self check-in, which went totally smooth. We weren't sure what to expect from the property, but we were blown away as soon as we walked in. The common area feels like someone's extremely cool living room, with comfy couches, books and games. There is a kitchen available for guests' use and a gorgeous view off of the dining area. Breakfast items are available for the morning. It is definitely not your cookie-cutter hotel, and has a nice Alaska vibe.

Wish we could have stayed forever!!

It was amazing!! Euphoric! The drive up there is a bit sketchy this time of the year but is absolutely worth it!! As you turn off the highway you drive down a private driveway through the trees to the beautiful lodge nestled in the middle of the woods. The cabins are comfortable and warm!

Beautiful Snowy Escape

This was a beautiful lodge, especially amazing if you enjoy nature and want to get away from the city. It's like a lodge straight out of a Christmas movie if you go when it has snowed. The property was just a beautiful area to explore and they had snow shoes that we were able to borrow to aid in the exploration. The room was cozy and the hosts were welcoming, as well as were quick to respond when we had questions. The view was beautiful and the interior was nicely decorated, and very clean. Overall, it was an amazing experience and a breathtaking place to stay.

Shared cabin style with beautiful property!

This lodge was a shared space cabin style but also quite private. Private bathroom and sleeping area. Shared dining, living room and kitchen. Our fav part was the gorgeous cabin kitchen breakfast laid out on pretty rustic dishes. It is off the beaten path and not touristy. We felt like we were being hosted by friends. Gorgeous property too.
