Pike's Waterfront Lodge

"Got there around 2am - the front desk person was very attentive to our needs. The cottage was warm, clean and well equipped for nice stay. Breakfast is hearty and the dining hall is nice"

Fairbanks Extended Stay

10/10 Excellent

"The suite was perfect and spacious for our 2 night stay!!! The best part was the hospitality and breakfast that was served!!! Wow!! This lady goes above and beyond to make such a nice spread!! My only regret was having to leave too early the second day and didn't get to enjoy the breakfast again!! Thank you so very much!!"

Cozy two bedroom log cabin on the Chena River near town.

10/10 Excellent

"Property is not a 5 star hotel if that is what you are looking for but it is a typical Alaska style log home located in a beautiful neighborhood on the Chena River, they provide fishing gear that you can use. Inside is a comfortable home clean and well kept cabon windows over look the river and is relaxing to watch the river run by. This a couple of stairs but only one entrance step into the home so easy taking your bags inside. This home is an outstanding value for its beauty, convenient and easy parking. Love it."

Luxury Riverside Chena River House North Suite with Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Tera was wonderful and her home was a gem! She was responsive and helpful. Her welcome information was great with very good local suggestions. If we find ourselves in Fairbanks again my husband and I would love to stay here again. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Thanks Tera and family for sharing your wonderful home and joyful hospitality. I only hope we were as good of a guest as you were a host! Thanks so much again!"
