Wonderful end of summer stay

My family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed this property, it was the highlight of our visit to Fairbanks. The property offers something for everyone - my little ones enjoyed running around outside with amazing views of the river, my wife enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and relaxing living room, and we all enjoyed the hot tub (of course). Kudos to the owner who made us feel welcome and informed with the perfect amount of communication. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat as well as recommend it to family/friends visiting Fairbanks.

Absolutely perfect!

Life really is better by the river! Everything about this Vrbo stay was perfect. The owners obviously put a lot of thought into the comfort of their guests. I loved walking into the kitchen and being greeted by a welcome note, and a bottle of wine and wine glasses on the large island. There was a Keurig machine to use, along with a generous selection of North Pole brand coffees, and creams. A great selection of condiments in the fridge. The decor in the house is perfect. Beautiful illustrations of local flora and fauna. The hot tub on the deck overlooking the river was fabulous! So relaxing and nice to sit in the tub. The view of the river was lovely. I loved watching planes and boats from the deck. The bed and the couch were so comfortable. The location also was convenient to everything in town. Of all the places we stayed during our 10-day trip to Alaska, this was my favorite.

Dropping our son off for summer research

We absolutely loved this stay. We could sit and watch the water, sit in the hot tub and relax or watch some TV on a nice-sized screen. The kitchen was super stocked (loved that there was a spice rack!) and even had a basket of extras. The appliances were top-of-the-line too. Even had fans for noise at night in the bedrooms. It felt like home. Thank you!

Why they chose this property

The views alone for this property whether you are sitting on the couch sipping your morning coffee or standing on the deck looking out at the river will take your breath away. The privacy of this home with the space it provides makes you feel like you are in your own world yet the home is only 6 minutes from town!

What makes this property unique

The deck space next to the large spacious yard builds a private area to enjoy your group, Aurora, or the Midnight Sun without interruption. The best part is being in a hot tub while doing.
