Winter Alaska trip

We had a fabulous stay. This property was very close to the airport, we were able to get grocery and restaurant delivery, and we saw the northern lights from the porch! Our tour to Denali even picked us up and dropped us off at the door. Great stay for a family of 5.

Delightful Stay at Chena Riverhouse South Suite

This lovely home was the perfect home base for our week in Fairbanks. It was perfectly located near the start of the 2025 Iditarod, area dogsledding, area aurora watching, and near the 2025 world ice art sculpture championships.

Post cruise northern lights trip

We loved everything about our stay. The house was comfortable for our group of 5 The hosts went out of their way for us by providing coffee and snacks and other items. The house was spotless and well maintained and had a great view of the Chena River. We hired a tour to take us to see the northern lights and because our location was so great they picked us up right at the house. Highly recommend staying here. By the way we got a great northern lights show

Short stay in Fairbanks

Wonderful property on the river in Fairbanks. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. Owners left "treats" for us at check in that were much appreciated. We loved sitting on the lanai with wine looking at the river. The beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Our Alaska Vacation

Before starting our Alaska Land Cruise with Princess, we went to Fairbanks early and stayed here. This house is well-maintained and highly recommended! It was my wife and I, my daughter and her two children and the other grandparents. Plenty of room and very close to all to do in Fairbanks! Enjoyed our stay before our cruise! Kids enjoyed the games and puzzles! Thanks!

Ladies only trip

Everything at the property was just a described. We got into Fairbanks at 8:30, so by the time we got luggage and the rental car it was 10 pm. It was so nice to have the snacks at the house as we hadn't eaten. The view of the river was so peaceful. It gave you a feeling of country but was close to everything. The microwave quite one evening. I texted Tara the next morning as we were leaving for the day. She resolved the problem within the hour. It was a cozy, comfortable place to stay.

Fairbanks Find

This is a great place. It's on the river with a nice view. Even with other units in the house it's quiet and we felt like the only ones there. They've thought of everything from snacks to two different ways to make coffee, a hairdryer and other things not usually found in vacation homes. It's a perfect launching point to get to Denali, Chena etc

Lovely immaculate home. Pretty overlooking Chema River.

Lovely home. Well stocked including extras for snacks and good coffee! Good communication with Tera. Quiet home. Surrounding neighborhood as you drive in and house next door a bit aged; but home is lovely inside. Great location to airport for a quick drive for early departures. Upstairs Master suite is perfect and has nice river view. Two other bedrooms are in the lowest basement area and share a bathroom. These two bedrooms have a window with no view. Thanks!
