Only giving 5 stars because 6 isnt an option! First of all, I booked this because every review i saw of this property praised the host's communication and thoughtful touches. It was actually better than advertised. Wendy's communication was top notch, from start to finish. All questions were answered promptly and fully. Directions to the property were thorough, and everything was clearly labelled upon arrival. Everything we might have needed was readily available, from laundry soap to herbs and spices. The space was very clean and well appointed, with thoughtful extras throughout, including a snack tray which was welcome after a long day of travel. I lost track of how many times we just shook our heads in wonder at how thoughful everything was. An informational binder was waiting for us, with food and entertainment suggestions which we definitely took advantage of. If you are staying in the North Pole / Fairbanks area, dont think twice, just book this unit. You wont regret it. In fact, even if you are staying in Anchorage, just book this anyways, its just a 12-hour train ride away. I dont know that we will ever be back to Alaska, but if we ever are, this will be our first choice. We were blown away. Thank you Wendy!

So sorry we forgot to leave a review for our visit! We had a wonderful time, didn’t get to see the Aurora due to the dates we went but Wendy let us know when the moose were out. We had truck issues and she made sure we had food to eat in our apartment when we returned after being stuck all night till help came. Wonderful, wonderful time and can’t wait to go back when the Northern lights are out again so we can see them! Thanks again to Wendy and her husband for offering to come get us when we broke down. Great host and a great place to stay.

Wonderful property
Studio as advertised. Wendy was an awesome hostess. Plenty of breakfast food, snacks plus pasta and soup in cupboard. Spotless. Close to dogsledding, snowmobiling, museums, Large Animal Research Station. Wendy even texted me so we would know when Northern lights were visible! Great place to stay, highly recommend.

Fabulous
One of the best VRBO. We were super pleased with everything. Wish we could have stayed longer. Location was great for our outing and easy to get into town. Everything from parking, the space itself, the comfortable bed, and all the amenities in the studio made it a perfect place. Wendy was fabulous, above and beyond. Felt like visiting family but still on our own vacation. The small details and her special touches made it wonderful, making memories for other fabulous. Alaska is beautiful and also their home. Wishing the Brant’s much success in sharing their home with others.
