Enjoy all the comforts of home while visiting the “Golden Heart” of Alaska. Ideally located in the downtown area, this Fairbanks home offers a vibrant getaway with thoughtful details throughout. Go dog sledding, explore the Chena River, and bask in the northern lights during the Aurora season!

Find everything you need to prepare delicious home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of upscale stainless steel appliances. A quaint window seat nook provides an ideal spot to tuck away and browse for the perfect vacation recipe.

After dinner, spend time together in the chic living area - get cozy around the pellet stove and break out the provided board games for some good old-fashioned fun. Or relax and watch a movie on the smart TV. A cozy family room offers additional social space with an electric fireplace TV stand and another smart TV (streaming is available using your account).

Your vacation rental is within walking distance of cafes, restaurants, the library, a playground, and the downtown area. Spend full-filled days exploring art galleries, museums, and breweries or distilleries. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and snowshoeing. Don’t miss a visit to the Aurora Borealis Lodge, one of the best places to view the northern lights in the world! Other local attractions include Fairbanks Children's Museum (0.3 miles), Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center (0.8 miles), Pioneer Park (1.8 miles), and dog sledding at the 1st Alaska Outdoor School (3.5 miles). A laundromat is close by if needed.
