River house

Cute clean place to stay. Very quiet and peaceful. We didn’t get to see the northern lights but saw animals and other sights in the area.

Wedding weekend

House was perfect for the 7 of us. In town for our nephews wedding. One suggestion- with temperatures getting warmer, it would be nice to have fans for all the bedrooms.

Great house

I loved staying here when we were visiting Fairbanks. The heated garage was what won me over when initially looking for a place to rent. The house is roomy & has everything you could need :)

Great winter location

The house is large and great for big groups. We appreciated the mudroom for getting into and out of the house with all of our snow gear. Also, the heated garage is amazing. It is an older home with some updates, which we appreciated. The only criticism about cleanliness was the lower kitchen cabinets needed to be wiped down. Quite a bit of grime/spills on them. Also, I did have to chase down property owners by contacting VRBO to get the check-in information.
