A wonderful stay! Check-in was easy, communication was great, and the house was clean and well stocked, with a fully appointed kitchen and a laundry room stocked with cleaner/detergent. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the workspace was perfect for taking business calls, and the sauna and deck seating with cozy blankets was ideal for watching the northern lights. We'd highly recommend The Aurora House and would book again on our next trip to Fairbanks.

We had an amazing time at the Aurora! The property was beautiful and even more spectacular than the photos showed. The heated floors were a lovely perk. The washer and dryer were very large and made laundry easy for a large group. The sunsets and Aurora were incredible from the back deck. We would absolutely love to stay again!

We were in Alaska for 10 days and this was the last place we stayed. The house is great! Everyone loved the sauna and the views are amazing. It is a bit far from town so if you're looking for a quiet place this is your spot!

Fairbanks Aurora Spectacular

We had an amazing time in your beautiful home! Secluded, great location, comfortable, clean, lots of amenities. Cherry on top was seeing the aurora twice and saw a juvenile moose walking in front of the deck. We went dog sledding, snowmobiling, and went to the Ice Sculpting Championship. Wonderful memories for a lifetime! Aurora viewing bucket list…✅❤️

Stunning Property

Absolutely amazing house. Fully appointed. Very clean. Excellent views. Easy to use and very efficient wood burning stove. Prompt response from home manager who is also so very friendly. It was cloudy the entirety of our stay....aside for the very last night. The Aurora did not disappoint! We can't wait to return and stay for a longer time.

Multi-Generational Family Getaway

The listing for this property doesn't do it justice. The thought that has gone into the small details makes the difference between a good vacation stay and a fabulous one - things like including shatter-proof kid dishes as well as adult dinnerware (less stress!!), pens and note pads, plenty of supplies to help keep the place (and your things) clean and tidy for a week+ stay (not locked away). The view is world class, the house well appointed and spacious, and the hosts are fantastic about staying in contact and responsive to any needs that come up. Despite being a little further from town, the peace and quiet - and beauty - of the neighborhood, and extra touches provided by the host make this a special find.

AMAZING

We had the trip of a lifetime. The house was PERFECT for viewing the northern lights. We sat up and watched the display almost every night from the comfort of the great room in pajamas. The house was well stocked, beds very comfortable, washer and dryer worked well and best of all heated floors! Do not hesitate to book this house! You will not be disappointed! Had snow while there and driveway plowed for us. Definitely need 4wd if stay in winter. The house was immaculate upon arrival. The view for northern lights can’t be matched. No need to go on a tour to see them. You can watch from the comfort of the house! The drive was not bad from airport and into town for supplies. We will not ever forget this trip!
