Great house

Great house with all the comforts of home! We appreciated the stocked cabinets with granola bars, soups, and bottled water; all welcomed gifts after a long trip. House was clean and neighborhood was quiet, even in peak tourist season. Easiest checkout we've ever had; made getting out the door that much quicker on a busy morning. We would gladly stay here again!

Quiet, Comfy and close to town

This is a great comfy home. It's close enough to town but tucked away enough to feel private. There isn't any noise from the airport. We loved the coffee selection and candy available to us. I would recommend a stay her if you are traveling to Fairbanks.

Home away from home

Tera, Bobby and Bittner are the wonderful hosts of the best equipped cozy cabin in Fairbanks. The charming log cabin style home features a downstairs bed and bath and two more bedrooms and a half bath up a flight of very steep stairs. Everything is top notch and they the best stocked kitchen. Bathtub could use a grab bar and is slippery. Pick up a bag of ice and check the kitchen before you shop at the nearby Fred Mayer. Keurig coffee, snacks, cocoa, even oatmeal and cup of noodles in the kitchen. Enjoy this delightful home.

Wedding Party

The cabin was as advertised. It was clean and well stocked. The interior was spectacular! The host was very quick in getting back to me with any questions I had prior to our arrival. My wife used it one night for herself and her bridesmaids and we stayed our wedding night. I would definitely recommend this to others.

North to Alaska Friends 2024

We were a group of 6 friends that stayed for one night upon arrival to Fairbanks for our 1600 mile road trip around Alaska. The cabin was located very close to the airport. It was very clean and well stocked. The beds were super comfortable. We had everything we needed for an overnight stay - even some special treats and a bottle of champagne! We would definitely recommend!

Terrific lodge!

We were very impressed with the Alaska Dream Lodge. Located next to the Fairbanks airport, but no noise from the planes taking off and landing. Safeway and Fred Meyer grocery stores only a couple of minutes away. Very close to local attractions including Pioneer Park, Alaska Salmon Bake, Riverboat Discovery, the Chena River, and the University of Alaska. The Lodge is smartly appointed and has all the amenities you would want for a family. 3 separate bedrooms with comfy beds and linens. 3 televisions where you can stream your favorite streaming service. Blackout curtains. 1 1/2 bath with bathtub. Full kitchen with refrigerator/freezer, oven, microwave, K-cup machine. (No dishwasher). Full sized washer and dryer. Comfortable couch and recliners. Amazingly soft throw pillows and blankets. Dining room table for 6. No central air because it is Alaska. But the ceiling fan in the family room and the floor fans provided were more than adequate. Plus, we just opened the windows to let in the cool air. (There is central heat). There was even a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, bottles of water, k-cup coffee and a few snacks. Condiments and basic spices provided. Sufficient dishes, glasses, utensils and cooking tools. We didn’t have to buy anything extra for our 3 night stay. Plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent. Even shampoo and conditioner and soap for the shower. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and highly recommend it.
