About this property

Aurora House-Bucket List, Sauna, Panoramic Views, Wifi

Welcome to The Aurora, an epic stay where the Northern Lights are visible on just about every clear night from September through April. During the summer months, watch the midnight sun set right in front of your living room window.

Nestled on a mountain 20 minutes from Fairbanks and away from all light pollution, The Aurora is the perfect place to unwind and experience the beauty of Alaska.

"Wow! The views from this place are amazing and the inside looks brand new!" -Marie, May 2023

"The location of this place was awesome for us. Just far enough out of town that it was quiet and the light pollution was way down. It was close enough to Fairbanks though that we could run into town for anything we wanted." -Trenton

Multi-Generational Family Getaway
The listing for this property doesn't do it justice. The thought that has gone into the small details makes the difference between a good vacation stay and a fabulous one - things like including shatter-proof kid dishes as well as adult dinnerware (less stress!!), pens and note pads, plenty of supplies to help keep the place (and your things) clean and tidy for a week+ stay (not locked away). The view is world class, the house well appointed and spacious, and the hosts are fantastic about staying in contact and responsive to any needs that come up. Despite being a little further from town, the peace and quiet - and beauty - of the neighborhood, and extra touches provided by the host make this a special find.

My husband and I both grew up in rural areas and love being in nature. Alaska is a beautifully serene place and this home spoke to us from the first moment we walked in. The windows are expansive and perfect for viewing the Northern Lights. This was a bucket list item for us and we want to share it with you as you make your Alaskan memories!
