The Park Bus BnB

The Park Bus BnB

10/10 Excellent
"What an awesome place to stay!! We'd stay there again in a heartbeat. Really nice location, not far out of Fairbanks. We stayed here on our way back from Chena Hot Springs. Loved the detail of the bus, super clean. Really appreciated having some basic food available for the stay, that was super helpful. With all the windows and the out of town location it made for a perfect night sky viewpoint. Would definitely stay here again!"

Aurora Villa

Aurora Villa

8/10 Good
"This stay was a surprise. It is off the beaten path nestled in the woods with neighboring homes with spacious lots. It is a modern building that looks like a modern home. It has gravel driveway. It has a self check in with a text to office/ staff for help if needed. They are responsive. Building is clean and provides slippers for the use inside. The room is clean, has desk, reading chair and a spectacular viewing window that proved to be very useful for catching the northern loghts. The kitchen downstairs was packed with goodies and frig was packed with various options and frozen food and treats. Kitchen area has a large sitting table. All and all it was one of the memorable places we have stayed. I am glad we went and did see the northern lights. But the northern lights due to weather and nature are not always visable."

Alaska Grizzly Lodge

Alaska Grizzly Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for 3 nights and it was amazing! When researching this was the only place that would provide wake up calls to see the aurora. We lucked out and saw them 2/3 nights all from the comfort of the lodge. It was cozy place, breakfast was delish and Janet and Fred were the perfect hosts. I would definitely stay again. Thank you for your hospitality."

Borealis Basecamp

Borealis Basecamp

10/10 Excellent
"Setting aside the fact that we were thrilled and lucky to enjoy a spectacular northern lights show during our stay, Borealis Basecamp was a wonderful brief getaway experience. The facility has provided just enough extra activities (not a price bargain by any means, but probably comparable to similar venues) to keep you physically engaged during daylight hours. However, for those who have mobility issues, particularly back injuries, you'll need to make yourself cozy in the reception or adventure/cafe yerts and keep yourself occupied with a book or conversation with other guests, which is what my husband did. The food at the Pub and Latitude 65 restaurant was wonderful. Terrific coctails. Pay attention to the description of amenities provided in the igloos, which is what we opted for. Super comfortable bed offering a terrific view of the night sky. And finally, they make good on their promise to call your room at any hour when the aurora appears. One night between 9pm and 6am (roughly), we received 6 calls! But that's what you are paying for, and we were happy to have our sleep disturbed!"
