Perfect Stay

Lou’s Bear Den was wonderful lodging! The home is equipped with everything you could want. It’s clean, cozy and just a short drive from Fairbanks. The host was so nice and available, if needed. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

The property was very clean and in a nice woodsy area. We didn’t realize that one of the bedrooms is a converted garage. The only difficulty with that was that early in the morning on Saturday a plumber was working on the other side of the wall and woke up my sleeping friends.The owner was very responsive in her communication. We appreciated having a fully stocked kitchen so that we could prepare our own meals.
