The home was immaculately clean and just as described. It is close to the airport and close to everything in the city. We rented a car for our stay and the heated garage was super nice as temperatures outside were in the teens. Kitchen was wellappointed (we didn’t cook anything) and the rooms were all clean and comfortable. TVs are connected to roku and a firestick which made it easy for us to stream some shows we wanted to watch. I would definitely rebook this home. Juan, our host, was excellent as well and very responsive.

Fairbanks stay

House was great - centrally located so easy to get around, clean, warm, everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. Beds were comfortable. We stayed a week with weather so appreciated the heated garage for sure! Owner responded to questions quickly. I’d re-book here again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic house!

The house was the perfect size. I wish there were a few more bowls for breakfast. The rooms were clean with comfy beds. Plenty of space. We contacted the host for one issue and he had it resolved completely very quickly. We will definitely look to stay here again when we next come back!

Thanksgiving getaway

My wife, my son, and I went to Fairbanks to spend Thanksgiving with my daughter who is attending UAF and couldn’t get back home for the holiday. We spent a week and had a blast. We went to Chena hot springs one night, the antique auto museum which had so many cars I’ve never seen before as well as period piece clothing for almost every car era. We went to craft fairs, movies, stopped by Santa’s house, and ice skating. It was so nice to come back at night and spend time in the large living room playing games or watching movies. We might just make this a tradition for the next few Thanksgiving breaks that my daughter will be in Fairbanks.

Fantastic stay!

This house was the perfect place for us (2 adult couples) for the Fairbanks portion of our Alaska trip. It was a great size and location, immaculate as far as cleanliness and the host was fantastic at communicating. The Riverwalk path was right there for me to get my morning runs in, and we saw an incredible aurora display our last night there (went over to the canoe launch area by Heritage Park).I’d definitely stay there again!

Fairbanks sightseeing

It was my wife and I along with another couple. This property worked out perfect. Check in-out could not have been easier. The house had plenty of room, was clean and nicely appointed. The neighborhood was very nice and though we did not walk it, we would have felt very safe doing so at any time. From the location it is easy to get to just about anywhere in Fairbanks very quickly. If we get back to Fairbanks (for possible aurora watching) we will definitely try to stay here again. 5 out of 5 stars.
