This home is awesome. It was very neat & clean and in a beautiful location. We were able to see the northern lights from the driveway, which was the reason we came to Fairbanks. Since we are from Texas, we didn’t fully understand the importance of having a 4x4 vehicle, especially with the steep driveway. We were stuck for a day. Anyway, we would highly recommend this home if you want to see the auroras. Because of the record breaking cold during our stay, it was almost impossible to drive to a location and wait for the northern lights. We were able to quickly go outside and take photos from the comfort of this home! Plus the heated floors were a huge plus. We also loved the large kitchen, LR & DR! Thanks again!

The place is beautiful, great location, you could definitely see the northern lights if they’re showing. All in all would recommend this place in the future, however please be aware if there is heavy snowing and you have a tight schedule factor in you will have to shovel a significant amount of the driveway. There is a man that plows the snow for you but often times comes a bit later in the day.
