An entire wall of books greets you when you walk in. I think I stared at it for a solid minute when I got there. The property is wonderfully quiet and warm and welcoming. Because I was there in the winter I didnât get a huge chance to use the courtyard, but it would be the perfect place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee!
The location was quiet and perfect for relaxing in the hot tub watching the Northern Lights. The accommodations were clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for being away from the city but still close enough to get anywhere you wanted to go.
The property was great and everything was clean and thought out for us as guest. We were not too far from anything we wanted to do in Fairbanks, the hot springs, or even in North Pole.
My partner and I spent a long weekend here in late August and had a splendid time. The hot tub was the correct level of toasty. Instructions from the hosts were accurate and check-in and out was a breeze. I look forward to stay with them again for my next Fairbanks trip.
My family and I enjoyed our stay! It was out of the city and off the beaten path, which we absolutely loved. The space was perfect for what we needed and we kept very clean. Watching the northern lights from the hot tub was special experience as well. We would definitely book here again!
My husband and I came for a golf weekend in Fairbanks. The rental is clean and comfortable. It's outside of Fairbanks, but the drive into town is quick. Very quick access to Badger Gate if you want to access Fort Wainwright. Fairbanks can be quite warm; there is a fan which helps.
Thank you, Terry and Anne for a welcoming stay. This separate, private room in Terry and Anneâs home had everything I needed while in town for work. It was super clean and comfortable, and the hot tub is lovely in the evenings! Highly recommend!
Great location not far from Badger Gate into Fort Wainwright, which was great for us, as we were there for golf on the base. The place was immaculate and very comfortable. The courtyard was cool and shady, and we enjoyed it for morning coffee and afternoon reading. The flowers are absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect quiet place for us to spend a few days.
The studio apartment was as described and suited my needs for a week long work trip to the area. The hot tub was a perk at night.
Total first world problem, but the pillows were pretty hammered on the bed. That was really my only issue with my stay.
Everything was as advertised.
The room is wonderful, the hot tub was amazing. It is a secluded property, very private, quiet and far enough from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to everything at the same time.
The town of North Pole is about 10min away, and the Hot Springs is an hour and a half with many beautiful places to stop along the way for viewing, fishing, etc.
The hosts are great people and we will stay again.
Visited Fairbanks for a couple of days, and rented this lovely "cabin". It was much more than I had imagined. The amenities, the cleanliness, the overall setting... exquisite and perfect! Bypassed the outside hot tub on account of the weather; however, grabbed a good book, put epsom salts in the bathroom tub, and VOILA!
Terry and Anne were exceptionally courteous and welcoming. Will definitely book again on next visit to Fairbanks.
My girlfriend and I spent a long Valentine's day weekend at this beautiful getaway. The place is well maintained and clean. The hosts responded to the myriad of questions that I had before our visit. I LOVED using the outdoor hot tub and watching the beautiful auroras overhead. The owner surprised us with some very yummy pancakes Valentine's morning (something that is not usually done) that had a delicious syrup with lingonberries, birch syrup, and natural maple. I highly recommend this place for romantic getaways!
We stayed at this cute little place for 4 nights. This one room rental was perfect for my husband and I. Up to date furnishings, beautiful bookcase, comfy bed. We only used the hot tub one night, however we were able to view the best Aurora show from the perfect spot that night. Terry was a great host who suggested several fun things to do while we were there. Close to Fairbanks for any needs. We definitely recommend to anyone, and hope to visit again in the future! Thanks again! Lisa and Tim
I reserved this room for the appeal of watching the Northern Lights from the hot tub. The room and the hot tub are both great. But, the lights are much less frequently seen here, with a fair sized hill immediately north of the property, blocking the best viewing angle. For that reason . . . and that reason only . . . I gave the 4 star rating instead of 5.
This property was easy to find and upon arrival noticed very well kept. Easy private entry using door code. Very clean and artistic. Loved looking at the books and son enjoyed looking at the cars. Will definitely choose to stay here again. Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay!
The cozy studio apartment was excellent. It was very clean, and quiet. We loved sitting out in the courtyard and having a drink before dinner. We purposely rented a studio with the kitchenette so we could cook there. Unfortunately, there were no pots or pans, but we were able to make do with a microwave. I would definitely stay there again if I ever came to Fairbanks again!
Terry is a private residential energy and building consultant. A 45 year resident of Fairbanks, Terry has traveled all over Alaska and has knowledge of where to go and what to do in the Fairbanks/North Pole area.
This property was built in 2006 with this studio apartment designed for short term stays. It has been soundproofed from the rest of the house to provide privacy for anyone who stays. With the advent of VRBO it seemed like a great fit for travelers who want to have a private residential type accommodation.
With a high ceiling and radiant floor heat you can feel like you have space that has no drafts in the winter. In the summer you can open your door onto a walled courtyard full of flowers for your exclusive enjoyment; a great place for morning coffee or an evening drink. Convenient to both Fairbanks and North Pole.
