Wonderful experience

We had a wonderful time at mt aurora lodge. Kate and Jeff are hospitable and knowledgeable about aurora timing and woke us up immediately when the aurora showed up during the night. Seeing the northern light is breathtaking experience! Although the level is 2, we can clearly see the northern light due to clear and dark sky. Breakfast has Muffin, toast, egg, beacon, juice, milk. They also provide cereal, hot/cold water, hot chocolate, microwave, fridge in the lobby. WiFi in the lobby is good. $10 discount per person for going to ski land. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to view northern light and have fun in Fairbanks!

The owner of the cabin was very nice, there was a free breakfast, woke us up to watch the aurora and taught us how to take pictures. It was so worth it.

The owner got involved with all the lodgers, waking them when he thought we could see the Northern Lights. (I missed them, regrettably, due to cloud cover but I welcomed the rain, since most areas I visited were affected by wildfires.) The breakfast was good, the area was scenic, the air was clear, the staff friendly and helpful.

Nice b&b

A cool rustic lodge (believe me, the inside is way cuter than the outside). Very good breakfast & comfortable beds. We saw faint aurora two days in a row in late August (because it’s fairly early in the aurora season). The only downside is that the rooms are not very soundproof.

The owners are super nice. We loved the lodge. It is a few miles outside of Fairbanks but not too long of a drive. It’s close to the Gild Dredge 8 which we highly recommend as an activity. We would highly recommend this place to stay!

The building was quite unique as an old mining lodge. The staff was wonderful and enjoyed visiting with customers. The home cooked breakfast was delicious. Would love to come back to see the Aurora lights

Not a good stay because of the accounting department. Two problems: 1. Charged the 3 rooms' deposit on "accident", never bothered to apologize about it after I called in 5 days later. Was not upfront with me about why it happened and acted "confused". They did not respond to hotels.com representatives initially and I had to call their accountant. I have yet to see the refund returned on my credit card. 2. The price posted on hotels.com is different than what they charged. They charge HIGHER, because they also charge 2.9% on credit card transactions. I've NEVER seen this for hotel customers through 20 years of hotel stays. FIRST EVER case like this for all my bookings from hotels.com.
