This place is great! Room for everyone, with two living rooms and three spacious bedrooms. The teenagers hung out in one living room, while the adults were in the other. Nice kitchen with everything we needed to cook. Very cute place and we loved the wood furniture and the bear decor. The coffee bar was a hit! Bring your own hot chocolate if you’re not a coffee drinker or have kiddos. Not far from town, and very reasonably priced. Adding to my favorites list!

Fantastic property. Very clean

Our stay at the cabin was fantastic. 3 adults and two kids spent several days here. The cabin is great for groups and is close enough to Fairbanks to be convenient but still feel remote. Everything was clean and all amenities listed were provided. My kids loved staying here and we will definitely love to return again in the future.

We had a long stay in North Pole to visit my mother with my husband and me and our 5 children and everything with this home was wonderful. We had one slight hiccup regarding the locks on the door and immediately the owners fixed the issue and our vacation continued. Super quiet area. Overall couldn't ask for anything more.

We were in town to watch our kiddo play soccer for the weekend and the location was perfect as we were wanting to be close to North Pole where the team was staying. The house was very clean and provided all the amenities you could want. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay while in Fairbanks area

The place was very cozy, well decorated, and very clean. Loved that it was between North Pole and Fairbanks. We rented a car and were able to go everywhere and come back home to this homey, warm environment. Slept like a baby. We all did. There’s room for 10 if 2 in each bed. We were 6 and it was perfect for us. We loved it!!!

Very inviting home.

We really enjoyed the decor all around. Hosts were easy to communicate with. Very friendly. Clean home. Plenty of dishes and cookware. There was just 5 of us, but 3 bafhrooms were great . Was very peaceful and quiet. Great views of Northern lights out front a couple of the nights, and there was a moose that was camping out a couple nights in the back yard as well. was very nice. :-) Would recommend and stay there again.

Girls Trip

This was a great place for us. Plenty of room and bathrooms that made it a very comfortable stay. The only thing that was missing was a crock pot, colander ( for pasta) and a cheese grater. We are from Texas and love Taco Soup when cold…. Lol. We made it work, kitchen fully stocked otherwise and great coffee and condiments supplied. The owner was extremely responsive. The inside was clean and having a washer and dryer was perfect. Great place. I highly recommend this place, especially for a group because it was spacious had plenty of bathrooms and easily accessible.

Family Alaskan adventure

Just wow! I was a little worried with only one review. Once we arrived that quickly melted away. This place is so clean! Tons of space for our party of 4 adults and 3 kids. The perfect location between Fairbanks and North Pole. It has tons of little details that absolutely made the trip. Extra blankets located everywhere. Pots and pans. Spice rack. Extra toiletries if needed. Smart tv in the living room and garage. Black out curtains in the bedrooms. It was beautifully decorated. One suggestion would be a coat rack by the door.

Overall went great

We did a winter trip with outside temps from about 10F at the start to -25F at the end. House held the set temp without a problem and we never ran out of hot water for our group of 9 people. The garage has been converted to living space, so the rental car was outside and plugged in to keep the engine warm. There were plenty of sheets, blankets, and towels for the group. The wifi went out due to a power issue, and the owner stopped by within 2 hours to reset it. The battery light started flashing on the door lock, and again they came within a couple of hours to replace the lock battery. Overall communication with the owner and response was great. The only 2 things we would have liked added was a cake pan to bake a cake, and some more options for clothes storage as much of our stuff had to stay in suitcases on the floor. Overall a great townhouse and a great stay!

Nice place

Hostess was very responsive to all my messages. The place was nice and bright with a good kitchen. The tables and bed frames had a nice "heavy lumber" look. I am very noise sensitive. I could occasionally hear traffic noise from Badger Road a few hundred feet away. But otherwise it was nice and quiet. The driveway was a little hard to find when we arrived in the dark. GPS said our destination was 200 feet ahead on the right. This did not make sense since Google maps had shown it on the left. We followed the GPS and walked around and tried again and finally found the driveway (again). It turns out that the GPS was telling us the destination was 200 feet up the driveway to the right, not up the road to the right. Once we figured that out, all was good.
