We are waiting to welcome you here and give you an excellent, lovely experience staying with us!

The time I take to send you the links to tours, etc, so that you have a great trip, is hard to put a price on.

Please, with the way flights have been cancelled or changed at the last moment, and other factors which come up beyond your control. we strongly suggest that you buy travelers insurance in order to secure your funds, in case of a last minute cancellation. We have been very gracious over the last 2 years and have given refunds when we were not required to, but we cannot do this any longer. We are holding to a firm cancellation policy in the future.

A well-crafted apartment in the quiet & solace of surrounding woods, yet within 8 to 10 minutes drive from grocery stores, or airport, and only 3 miles from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. This is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath luxury suite of rooms, private & perfect for either one or 2 persons, max. This property is at the same location as one other larger apartment suite, on the same 3 acres of property in the other house. If you need a place with room for 4 people, try the Chalet listing #424989. We have received 141 + 5 star reviews, for the other vacation rental, and we have put all the care and attention to detail into this brand new, beautiful bungalow as well! A sense of peace and comfort envelope you as you enter, and you will appreciate the fine craftsmanship inside as you look around. The entire suite is like one piece of art. In addition, this is a fantastic location to see the auroras, when they are active, as they arc right over the property, when it is clear out and the aurora activity is moderate. We will make sure your stay is very comfortable, and provide you with the information you need, in order to book activities or tour around town and the area.

Exceeded expectations in all dimensions!

From booking to checkout, everything was seamless. Carol is a warm, attentive host who ensured we had all the necessary details about the property and local attractions as soon as we confirmed our reservation. She also checked in with us during our stay to ensure we were comfortable.The house is cozy, well-equipped, and easily accessible by road. It’s conveniently located near great restaurants and supermarkets, yet far enough from the city to enjoy Aurora views right from the property.We had a wonderful time staying with Carol and will definitely return!

Fantastic hosts/location

My husband and I came to Fairbanks to see the Northern Lights. We chose this bungalow due to it’s location and positive reviews. The reviewers did NOT lie.It is located in Ester, outside of the city lights but very convenient to the airport, shopping and restaurants. The owners were exceptional hosts. We have stayed at 15 VRBO properties. This by far is the number 1 place we have ever stayed. The hosts suggested things to do in the area that was very helpful.The web cam showed us when to go outside. The northern lights go right over this property. We got amazing photos several nights in a row.

Beautiful Location

This place is woodsy and isolated, but yet close to everything. Very clean, and well stocked with everything you would need. We arrived by train from Denali. We went straight to the airport to pick up a rent a car. Short drive from airport to the suite. We had been in Alaska for almost a month. This was our last stay before flying home from Fairbanks. We were exhausted and slept a lot when we first arrived. Bed was very comfortable. Carol even left some homemade cookies hanging in a bag on the door handle. They were very good. I depend on reviews and read many before renting a place. I try to write a very fair and detailed review. We did have a hard time finding a place for two very large suitcases. We ended up putting them in the living room on the coffee table. The water system is a holding tank with a large capacity.They must replenish it. The water pump kicks on anytime water is used and is very loud! We have rented through many sites over the years. We have always been notified when cameras are on the property. We don't have a problem with it, but we were surprised to see several. I understand they need to monitor their property. We even have cameras on our home. There is one camera at the front door looking right at you. It made me feel uncomfortable because it was so close. The camera looks like it's set up to see you come/go at front door and getting in/out of car. With all of that being said, it's still an absolutely beautiful place!

A Nice suite beyond your imagination

This is a beautiful and super comfortable suite. Firstly, its location is convenient, and you can go to the most famous restaurants and places in 10 minutes unless you go to Chena. The property inside the suite is clean and looks like a new suite, also better than a 4-star hotel. There is always warm water and an air conditioner. There are too many advantages to list. It is also an excellent place to watch Aurora and spend a vacation. If I have more spring break time, I will spend more time here. Last but not least, Carol and Les are very friendly and Enthusiastic. I am so glad to choose their suite and know them.

Wonderful experience

This was the perfect place for our trip to Fairbanks! Carol was such a wonderful host, very easy to communicate with before and during our stay and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience! We took several of her recommendations on things to do while in town, like where to go for snowmobiling/ice fishing and the best place for aurora viewing, and we truly had the best time! The property itself was BEAUTIFUL and the location was perfect, very short drive from the airport and close to town but just out of the city limits so we were able to spot the aurora from the house on our first night! The suite was very clean, well stocked with toiletries/towels/kitchen supplies etc that made our stay super comfortable. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to the Fairbanks area. Thanks so much for having us!

We will definitely be back!

Both the chalet and bungalow were very comfortable and the property is convenient to Fairbanks. All 4 of us enjoyed the experience. The auroracam kept us notified of any possible northern light displays. We would have missed it otherwise. Our flight arrived very late, after 1 am, but Carol still kept in touch with us to make sure we arrived and settled in. It was great to be welcomed with a plate of home baked cookies especially since we hadn't been able to get food due to the airline delay. For us it was a perfect place to stay with all the amenities we needed. Also loved that it had a walking path directly from the property. We definitely plan to return.

Aurora Serenity

The space was perfect for us- everything was clean and tidy, they are courteous and supportive hosts, and the aurora cam was a huge plus. We spent several evenings out late hoping for auroras but some of the best we saw were literally thanks to the cam being handy! As an aside, we had issues with our flight and luggage not arriving (with all of our winter gear) and Carol and Les went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. Cannot recommend more highly! Thank you!!
