This spacious home sleeps 8, with a game room, geodesic dome, and vintage design touches. Guests rave about aurora hot tub nights, comfy beds, spotless space, and location: private but only 12 minutes to downtown. From aurora viewing on the balcony to family game nights in the game room, consider Star Base your mission control for an out-of-this-world Alaskan experience! THE SPACE Welcome to Star Base, a one-of-a-kind Fairbanks home that blends retro midcentury modern design with all the comforts today’s travelers crave. Built in the 1960s by architect Roger Cotting, Star Base's footprint takes the shape of a star, offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and space for up to 8 guests: perfect for families, groups, or aurora chasers. Star Base is more than a stay: it’s an experience. This home is filled with retro character, modern updates, and thoughtful touches that guests consistently rave about. Guests love: ✨ Soaking under the northern lights in the hot tub 🎮 Vintage game room fun for kids and adults 🔥 Fireplace and cozy nooks for winter nights 🛌 Ultra-comfy beds with blackout curtains 🌌 Secluded, tree-lined lot just 12 min from downtown 🌟 Spacious yet quirky layout — perfect for groups At its heart is the kitchen with multiple wings swooping outward and notably featuring a retro sunken living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, natural light, and warm, earthy materials that echo Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired design. Guests love how it feels both expansive and intimate: gather around the fireplace, play games on geometric midcentury West Elm and Crate & Barrel designer furnishings, or simply watch the northern lights dance across the sky from the comfort of the sofa. The rest of the home is designed for connection and play: 👉 A fully stocked kitchen and dining area ready for home-cooked meals 👉 A retro game room with vintage arcade consoles, records, games and puzzles for all ages 🎮 👉 A dedicated office nook with fast Wi-Fi for workcations or streaming ✨ 👉 Four stylish bedrooms with memory foam mattresses, blackout curtains, and cozy linens 🛌 Step outside and the magic of Alaska unfolds: a private hot tub under the stars, an aurora-viewing geodesic dome, and a tree-lined yard where moose often wander. Guests frequently call this the highlight of their trip: the perfect blend of privacy and proximity. ✨ Why Guests Love Star Base “Aurora from the hot tub: bucket list!” “Kids loved the vintage game room” “Beds were ultra-comfy, slept like a dream” “Felt private, but still so close to town” 📍 Location, Location 🌟 4 minutes from the University of Alaska Fairbanks 🌟 9 minutes from Fairbanks International Airport 🌟 11 minutes from Fairbanks Memorial Hospital 🌟 12 minutes from Downtown Fairbanks 🌟 28 minutes from North Pole and Santa’s Workshop 🌟 70 minutes from Chena Hot Springs 🌟 120 minutes from Denali National Park ⚡ Know Before You Book 🧻 Bathrooms: The home has 2 full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo and the other with a shower only. Both have been recently refreshed. 💧Water: Our home is on a well. We recently invested $25,000 in a top-to-bottom system upgrade — the water is safe, odorless, and delicious. A filtered reverse-osmosis tap is provided in the kitchen for drinking water. 🌡️Climate: Like most Alaska homes, there is no central AC. Summers are mild and fans are provided in each room. In winter, the fireplaces and the heating system keep the house toasty warm (guests even note how cozy it feels at –40°F). 🏡 Neighborhood: Star Base feels private on 1.7 acres and is surrounded by trees, but it is part of a quiet residential area. 🌠 Aurora: While many guests have seen the northern lights from the hot tub or balcony, it’s a natural wonder and cannot be guaranteed. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Arcade/game room ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Reusable coffee/tea filters ## Similar properties ![Lobby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33280000/33276000/33275982/a2cfb689.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aurora Villa Fairbanks - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 8.4 Very good 103 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=33275982&PinnedHotelID=33275982&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91210000/91209100/91209012/a873a055.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### North Star Place South Fairbanks - Kitchen - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 132 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=91209012&PinnedHotelID=91209012&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (4 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94540000/94537300/94537272/f0b9f16c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 'northern Bliss' Modern Mtn-view Home in Fairbanks Hamilton Acres - Kitchen - Washing machine - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=94537272&PinnedHotelID=94537272&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Deluxe Studio Suite | Desk, laptop workspace, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103210000/103202700/103202609/eb537063.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dollhouse Downtown Slaterville - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Laundry room - Microwave 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=103202609&PinnedHotelID=103202609&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101530000/101523200/101523117/f49414fe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fairbanks Family Retreat: Northern Lights Viewing!

Only suggestion is new pans and pots bc they’re a bit old. Everything else was great and every detail was thought through. We loved to drink our morning coffee by the living room with the fireplace on. We also spent hours at the jaccuzzi one day. There were enough towel, which we appreciated. We didn’t see the northern lights from Star Base, we drove to Cleary Summit and Murphy Dome. I think it was bc KP Index was below 3\. The neighborhood was beautiful and super close to town! ##### Francia T. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Eric J. 25 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Before you book you should know… Pros and Cons Pros: (1) the binder was full of information, made it easy to get things like WiFi, restaurant ideas, etc (2) kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials / basics, and so was cleaning cabinet and washing machine room (3) game room, kids enjoyed the plethora of option (4) vintage record player a neat addition Cons (1) if you come in the summer beware! There is no air conditioning, but that’s normal for Fairbanks, what isn’t normal is that ONLY ONE window in all the rooms had a screen on it, all the others well you could open them but nobody wants to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. So it was impossible to sleep, either sleep in sauna like conditions or get eaten alive by mosquitoes .. needless to say it was awful and the host should have warned customers like us so we could have booked another place (2) when we first walked in, the place seemed clean,..but not at all. Within ten minutes of walking around the home my white socks were almost black. The worst thing about it was the washer and dryer. I doubt either had been cleaned in years. The dryer’s lint /vent was the most disgusting I have ever seen in my life. Baked in dirt, mud, mildew, little stones everywhere/ I spent an hour cleaning this before we could use it. (3). Probably the nastiest thing about our stay was the water. Yellow, sulphur smelling water in the toilet m, shower, sink, etc. Ewww. It was so nasty we ended up going to UofA to shower there ##### Eric J.

Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roy M. 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our recent stay at the Star shaped Retreat in Fairbanks was an unforgettable experience, and I'm delighted to share a review of this exceptional property. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the home's charm and the thoughtful amenities provided.One of the standout features was the outdoor hot tub. After a day of exploring the rugged beauty of Alaska, sinking into the warm, bubbling water under the vast northern sky was pure bliss. The hot tub was clean, well-maintained, and offered a perfect vantage point for enjoying the serene surroundings. It was the ideal way to relax and unwind, and we found ourselves using it every evening.Inside, the games room was a fantastic addition that provided endless entertainment. The room was well-equipped with a variety of video games and a comfortable seating area. It was the perfect gathering spot for our group, and we spent hours laughing and competing in friendly games. It's a great space for families with children or a group of friends looking for some indoor fun.The barbecue setup was another major highlight. The grill was clean and ready to use, and we enjoyed several delicious meals cooked outdoors. There's something special about grilling in the cool Alaskan air, and the well-maintained outdoor space made it a truly pleasant experience. It's an excellent amenity for those who love to cook and enjoy a fantastic meal.Beyond the specific amenities, the home itself was comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. It ##### Roy M.
