Just perfect!

This place has everything you need to chill and relax so you can keep your adventure going! Between games, cooking supplies, wonderfully hot water, the list goes on! The location is quiet and comfortable, with a quick drive to Fort Wainwright or North Pole and a slightly longer drive around the post to Fairbanks. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Great stay

I wanted to have someplace that was between the Air Force Base and all the places to see in Fairbanks that accommodated my son’s dogs. This was a perfect place for all of us. The dogs loved the outdoor space while we enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the deck. If I make it back before my son leaves Fairbanks I would stay here again.

North Pole Retreat

A easy drive from Fairbanks and close to North Pole activities made this a great location for my visit with family and friends, the host quick to respond to questions and needs. Game room and deck was used happily by my family and the kitchen well stocked for family meals together!

Amazing Stay in the North Pole!

Wonderful stay! We had a great time in Fairbanks and the surroundings. Maraya was awesome and super communicative, making sure that we had a good time. We were able to just hang out in the hot tub and watch the snow fall. The location was superb, we could drive about ten minutes for incredible dog sledding and about 30 for the most amazing view of the Northern Lights! We also loved that it was decorated for the holidays!

Fantastic place, location and host

This place was awesome. We had 3 adults and it was perfect and more. Very clean, cozy, spacious and had everything (plenty of linen and towels, kitchen stuff, coffee, good internet, heater and more). Everything in the description was accurate. Two thumbs up on the outdoor hot tu and we had so much fun with the game room in the garage. The location is right in the middle of Fairbanks and North Pole which was very convenient. On top of all this, the host was so friendly and responsive. She checked in to see if everything was good and if we needed anything else. We all had great experience staying at this place and will 100% book here again. Highly recommend.

Loved this rental!

This rental was so clean and comfortable! The owners left snacks, condiments, spices, laundry and bath products- everything you could think of that you might need during your stay. Close to Fairbanks and the delightful little town of North Pole. The owners are friendly and very responsive if you need anything. We loved the hot tub, too! I fully recommend this rental and we travel often.

Second stay here!

We've traveled to Fairbanks twice this year and stayed at this property both times. It's so much nicer than a hotel room and has some special amenities like a hot tub, bicycles, pool table, darts, washer and dryer, etc. Don't let the location dissuade you...it's only a short drive to Fairbanks. I've used VRBO many times and the host of this property is the best I've encoutered! This house is thoughtfully equipped with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend it!

Wonderful stay

We traveled all over Alaska in the last few weeks and this was by far the nicest and most comfortable home of all. We will stay again when visiting family in Fairbanks. Thanks for all your thoughtful extras.

Great alternative to hotel

We've never stayed at a VRBO but have stayed at almost every hotel in Fairbanks as we travel to the area a few times a year. This property is GREAT! A short drive out of town but well worth it!! The house was comfortable and quiet. There are so many amenities including a hot tub, pool table, darts, a sectional and chair, full kitchen, nice sitting area outside...just too many to mention. Great walking path nearby as well. You won't be disappointed!
