Great getaway

The location was quiet and perfect for relaxing in the hot tub watching the Northern Lights. The accommodations were clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for being away from the city but still close enough to get anywhere you wanted to go.

Amazing stay with lovely hosts

My partner and I spent a long weekend here in late August and had a splendid time. The hot tub was the correct level of toasty. Instructions from the hosts were accurate and check-in and out was a breeze. I look forward to stay with them again for my next Fairbanks trip.

Wonderful property with privacy

The property was great and everything was clean and thought out for us as guest. We were not too far from anything we wanted to do in Fairbanks, the hot springs, or even in North Pole.

Great weekend stay

My husband and I came for a golf weekend in Fairbanks. The rental is clean and comfortable. It's outside of Fairbanks, but the drive into town is quick. Very quick access to Badger Gate if you want to access Fort Wainwright. Fairbanks can be quite warm; there is a fan which helps.

Alaska Garden Retreat

My family and I enjoyed our stay! It was out of the city and off the beaten path, which we absolutely loved. The space was perfect for what we needed and we kept very clean. Watching the northern lights from the hot tub was special experience as well. We would definitely book here again!

The cozy studio apartment was excellent. It was very clean, and quiet. We loved sitting out in the courtyard and having a drink before dinner. We purposely rented a studio with the kitchenette so we could cook there. Unfortunately, there were no pots or pans, but we were able to make do with a microwave. I would definitely stay there again if I ever came to Fairbanks again!

Hot Tub perk

The studio apartment was as described and suited my needs for a week long work trip to the area. The hot tub was a perk at night. Total first world problem, but the pillows were pretty hammered on the bed. That was really my only issue with my stay.

Perfect for a short golf trip

Great location not far from Badger Gate into Fort Wainwright, which was great for us, as we were there for golf on the base. The place was immaculate and very comfortable. The courtyard was cool and shady, and we enjoyed it for morning coffee and afternoon reading. The flowers are absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect quiet place for us to spend a few days.

Beautiful property.

Everything was as advertised. The room is wonderful, the hot tub was amazing. It is a secluded property, very private, quiet and far enough from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to everything at the same time. The town of North Pole is about 10min away, and the Hot Springs is an hour and a half with many beautiful places to stop along the way for viewing, fishing, etc. The hosts are great people and we will stay again.

Visited Fairbanks for a couple of days, and rented this lovely "cabin". It was much more than I had imagined. The amenities, the cleanliness, the overall setting... exquisite and perfect! Bypassed the outside hot tub on account of the weather; however, grabbed a good book, put epsom salts in the bathroom tub, and VOILA! Terry and Anne were exceptionally courteous and welcoming. Will definitely book again on next visit to Fairbanks.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Duszynski

Terry is a private residential energy and building consultant. A 45 year resident of Fairbanks, Terry has traveled all over Alaska and has knowledge of where to go and what to do in the Fairbanks/North Pole area.

Why they chose this property

This property was built in 2006 with this studio apartment designed for short term stays. It has been soundproofed from the rest of the house to provide privacy for anyone who stays. With the advent of VRBO it seemed like a great fit for travelers who want to have a private residential type accommodation.

What makes this property unique

With a high ceiling and radiant floor heat you can feel like you have space that has no drafts in the winter. In the summer you can open your door onto a walled courtyard full of flowers for your exclusive enjoyment; a great place for morning coffee or an evening drink. Convenient to both Fairbanks and North Pole.
