Lovely place to stay

We found the Bungalow when looking for a place to stay in Fairbanks. The property was as described. Carol was very welcoming, greeting us upon our arrival. The cookies she made were delicious and just the perfect touch. Very comfortable place to stay for a couple. Close to Fairbanks but felt like the middle of the woods at the some time. Husband say# he would stay there again to get more cookies. :)

Kathleen, I'm glad you had a good stay. I'm not sure what we could have done to make it a 5 instead of 4, since we have ALWAYS gotten a 5 star, and we always strive to make sure we take care of anything we can to make your stay the best. It is hard to know, with little communication as to why. Thank you. Carol

This is my second time staying here, and this stay was just as amazing as the first time. This is my go-to property when staying in Fairbanks.
