Overall, I and everyone in my group thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at Nottingham House.
I only have one gripe: the floors were very dirty. Walking around without shoes resulted in black feet. Even so, I would visit again, I'd just bring some slippers.
In every other way, you can tell that real care goes into maintaining this property. So many things are already on-hand for your convenience: detergent, spices, all the basic kitchen necessities for cooking and baking, extra toilet paper, and many more things we didn't even use (games, movies, etc.).
My interactions with Brittany (the host) were all very positive.
She was very helpful and responded quickly to my questions prior to arrival. At one point I asked what baking implements were available and she offered to bring down something from upstairs if it wasn't already downstairs.
On the last day of our stay, we were doing some laundry, but the power went out. I called Brittany to inform her and ask if the house was on city water or a well. In the 15-20 minutes the power was out Brittany had already contacted the power company and got back to me that the power would
be back on soon. Brittany was gracious enough that, though at work, she asked if we needed anything from the store and gave us the ability to leave after the standard check-out period. We could not have had a more accommodating host.
The host's family is very quiet in the upstairs level; we only heard faint footsteps downstairs on two occasions. This was very fitting for the location, which was also very quiet. I found the house's setting (a forested area outside of town) peaceful and relaxing.
I really liked the showers. The quality matches what you see in the photos. The heated floors are also nice.
The sleeping arrangements are comfortable. I would describe the bed firmness as medium. It was more plush than I'm used to, but I slept just fine. I'm used to sleeping in near total darkness, so the second bedroom (which has no windows) worked well for me. The door to that room does have windows, but just inside the door there is a floor-to-ceiling curtain that can be pulled across the entry to the room. (Around the summer solstice it is always light out in Fairbanks.)
If done right, the Vrbo experience far exceeds what you get at a hotel, and that is what Brittany offers at Nottingham House.
