About this property

Fairbanks Aurora Retreat • Cozy Alaska Escape

  • Escape to an enchanting Alaskan wilderness cabin with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Nestled among the trees, it`s a tranquil retreat with modern comforts.

    Enjoy morning coffee by the large windows, explore nearby trails, and return to a cozy, fully equipped space with an elegant interior & warm fireplace. Ideal for longer stays, peaceful getaways, or Alaskan adventures. 6 miles to Downtown Fairbanks, Ft Wainwright, & Fairbanks University. In-unit laundry, utilities included, and free wifi!

    Cozy and spacious 3 story home with the master bedroom & bathroom, Kitchen, living room, and half bath on the main (2nd level); secondary guest bedroom with twin bunk beds, twin trundle bed that converts into a king, second full bath, and office space with a desk and a sofa that converts into a bunk bed on the third level; and a large heated garage space with work out equipment and laundry room on the basement [1st] level. (Wood Burning Fireplace in Living room unavailable)

    The laundry room (washer and dryer) in a room in the garage, which is conjoined with the apartment.

    Guests are able to utilize the deck, back yard, and side yard of the property.

    You may park in the driveway. The driveway is shared with the other unit, so please do not block the driveway access. Unfortunately the garage is OFF LIMITS for parking. Garage parking is NOT allowed. There are extension cords to plug in your winterized vehicles!

    Guests can reach us via the messaging app at any time. Please allow at least 1-2 hour response time during the work week due to job restrictions and availability limitations. If messages are late at night please allow us time to see your message upon waking up in the morning.

    The home is located up a dirt road and across a trailer park on the left-hand-side. The entrance to the house is on the right. There is another apartment unit in the basement. Please reach out if you would also like to book this space.

    AWD or 4WD are highly recommended in Alaskan winter months

    This property is accessed through its own private entrance and is securely partitioned from the basement apartment by a deadbolt door leading to the shared laundry room in the garage.

    While both units utilize the laundry space, rest assured, each entrance is independently lockable ensuring your safety and privacy. For an extra level of safety there is a doorbell camera located in the shared laundry area to ring in the instance you accidently lock the door and forget the code to unlock it. This also is to help monitor the area since it is a shared space .

    Please NO SMOKING in or around the property.

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had 5 adults and enjoyed the house, which was clean and nicely appointed, Our main comment involves the lack of adequate kitchen dishes/cups/glasses/utensils. Most rentals have an abundance of these, but we barely had enough for each meal and thus had to run the dishwasher several times over the 2 days we were there. (Also, we couldn't find a cutting board -- a key for people who like to cook.) Outfitting the kitchen a bit more extensively would be helpful. Also, our crew had some concerns when a downstairs tenant (who we didn't know existed, as I don't believe it was mentioned in the original listing/booking) came home at midnight and was washing clothes and turning lights on and off in the garage downstairs. Two of our party woke up and freaked out a bit because there is no lock on the door from the house to the garage and they were worried a stranger was prowling down there until we could calmly figure it out; just more heads up (and a lock on the door) would have been helpful. These are minor issues, but worth addressing for future guests.
