Large Fire Pit w/ Tire Seating | Remote-Work Ready | 2,400 Sq Ft

Set your sights on the northern lights at this North Pole vacation rental! Just down the road from Santa Claus House, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is a stellar base for stargazers, snow lovers, and summer adventurers. After a day in Fairbanks or out on Chena Lake, settle in for a movie night in the home theater, gather by the fire as the aurora glows above, or grill late into the night under the midnight sun.

The home was even nicer than expected. They had extra amenities and every room that made it feel really special. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots pans and any seasoning you could need really happy we stayed here and when we visit family in Alaska again this will be what we book.

Make sure that the septic tank is ok. We were not able to use the water because there was a septic problem. That was for one day.

Pictures of the home misrepresented the property. The front door lock did not work right. Had to pull on the door to make sure it locked which was miserable holding a metal door handle in -45 degree weather
