Loved the layout of the house and the oversized bathtub, although it takes time to fill it. My kids loved the couch too. The neighborhood is charming and my son loves watching planes land and takeoff. One pilot even invited him to touch his plane and feel it. Very cool. We felt at home here. Wish it hadn't been raining so we could have enjoyed the hot tub more.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Reynolds

Host profile image
We’re Kelly and Mike — your hosts and a couple of lifelong Fairbanks locals who also happen to be pilots.

We both grew up in Fairbanks and think it’s a pretty special place — whether you’re here for a quick stopover, a northern lights chase, or a full-on Alaskan adventure, we hope you enjoy your stay as much as we’ve enjoyed calling this place home.

What makes this property unique

This property offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility—just minutes from Fairbanks International Airport and downtown Fairbanks. Nestled beside an active airstrip and float pond, you can watch bush planes fly overhead while soaking in the hot tub after a day of exploring. Set in a peaceful part of town, the home is surrounded by beautiful trees yet enjoys plenty of natural light and wide-open sky views, making it a great spot for northern lights viewing.
