Please, with the way flights have been cancelled or changed at the last moment, and other factors which come up beyond your control. we strongly suggest that you buy travelers insurance in order to secure your funds, in case of a last minute cancellation. We have been very gracious over the last 2 years and have given refunds when we were not required to, but we cannot do this any longer. We are holding to a firm cancellation policy in the future.

A well-crafted apartment in the quiet & solace of surrounding woods, yet within 8 to 10 minutes drive from grocery stores, or airport, and only 3 miles from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. This is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath luxury suite of rooms, private & perfect for 4 people if they are 2 couples or a family. It is the whole Separate ground floor of the house, 800 sq ft. This property is at the same location as one other smaller apartment suite, # 1523206, on the same 3 acres of property in the other house. In addition, this is a fantastic location to see the auroras, when they are active, as they arc right over the property, when it is clear out and the aurora activity is moderate. We will make sure your stay is very comfortable, and provide you with the information you need, in order to book activities or tour around town and the area.

Carol and Les were beyond being perfect and gracious hosts. Their place is spectacular. They could not have been more helpful, accommodating or kind. The location is stunningly beautiful and I unconditionally recommend them and their place to anyone who is looking to visit Fairbanks in addition, Fairbanks is a beautiful place to visit with wonderful people. Not to be redundant, but you will not find two more lovely hosts anywhere. They exceeded my already high expectations.

Hi Cathy, I wanted to address your recent feedback. Over the past 15 years, we’ve consistently maintained a 5-star rating, and I'm genuinely unsure what might have led to your 4-star review. I always make an effort to ensure our guests have all the information they need ahead of time, which includes taking the time to provide detailed instructions and answering any questions you might have before your arrival. Additionally, we offer a complimentary camera service to help guests track aurora activity and even provide guidance on when and where to go for the best viewing experience, including suggestions for traveling to locations with a wider horizon. Other guests in a different apartment during your stay were able to see the auroras, though, as you know, it's never guaranteed—it's a bit of a gamble. I always try to go the extra mile for guests, providing things like extra walking sticks and homemade cookies to make their stay more enjoyable. I hope you can understand how challenging it can be for hosts who work hard to create a memorable experience, only to receive a lower rating when so much effort is put in. I also kindly request that you not refer our place to friends, as it seems we were not the right fit for you. Best regards, Carol & Les
