I want to emphazise that the the Northern Lights are predicted to peak in 2025. 2021 was an exceptional year and so far 2022 has had some incredible Auroras. Generally, the peak season begins August 20-April 15. Realize that the earlier and later in the season, the darkness is less, so you generally have less of a window to view the lights. It is warmer, but your viewing period is shorter. I was just above the arctic circle for a week (Sept 2-11) and had 2 phenomenal evenings of lights viewing 4 hours and 2 hours. If you want to have a good opportunity to view the lights, check out the UAF Geophysical Aurora Forecast which can help predict peak times to have success. That being said, I have had excellent viewing with a 2 kp level. This year there have been a number of days with a 6 kp level which is extraordinary.. If you are interested in viewing or photographing the lights, let me know what you are interested in and I will do my best to help. https://www.gi.alaska.edu/monitors/aurora-forecast

Brian did a great job of communicating with us and available for anything we needed. This place was perfect for us. We were visiting our son who is stationed at Ft Wainwright. We wanted a place with a kitchen so I could cook him some home cooked meals and a table/chairs for playing board games. We enjoyed every minute in Fairbanks. If you are looking for comfort and room to relax, this place will not disappoint you. I give it a 5 out of. 5.
Excellent property just as described located next to Pioneer Park very clean owner went above and beyond with communication and making sure our stay in Fairbanks was great
Cozy, close to everything, great host helped us make a memorable trip.

Hi Garret,
I was very happy that your were all able to view the aurora. You planned it right with a longer trip giving yourself a higher percentage to view, photograph, and video the lights.
Best Regards,
Brian
Great location, easy check in, even with arriving at 1am. The apartment is well supplied, has everything you need for a multi day stay. The owner was very kind and responsive. It is a basement apartment so can hear the tenants above and the boiler for the building but it wasn’t a problem-just something to be aware of if you are sensitive to noise. We will definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay here. The place was as described and we had plenty of supplies available. We even got a clear view of the Aurora from the house on our last night. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

It's a great place to stay, with everything we need, kitchen, laundry, parking and a nearby park. The host was very nice to us, offered tons of information about the area. Highly recommend, and will visit again next time we travel to Alaska
Close to the airport and great location for all we wanted to do. Not fancy but had everything we needed. Host was very helpful and attentive. Would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.
We enjoyed our stay a great deal. The reservation, communication and check-in process was great as Brian proactively kept us informed of everything we needed to know and responded to questions very quickly. The property was very nice as well, and everything we needed was provided. We enjoyed our stay and will stay here again the next time we are in Fairbanks!

Hi Todd,
Glad you had a great visit in Fairbanks! Come back anytime!

The property served as a home away from home with the host thinking though and making available, anything and everything needed for a family to spend a few days exploring the city while still having the option to go with a home cooked meal, fun with board games and such. Property is conveniently located.The essentials, plenty of towels
I was very impressed and pleased with how clean and well stocked this property was. Close to everything, a very responsive Owner and bonus, across the street from Pioneer Park! Easy to get anywhere from this location, highly recommend

Brian was excellent with communication. He checked in with us, making sure we had everything that we needed at the property. He got back to us right away with the one question that we did have. I would highly recommend anyone to stay at this location.
Nothing flashy and a bit small for our family of five, but this was a perfect place for our stay in Fairbanks! Excellent communication from the host and a very nice location within walking distance of quite a few things Fairbanks has to offer. The place was clean and well stocked with everything we needed.

The host was great to work with. He made everything so simple from check in to check out. The upstairs tenants were very helpful and even brought a snack tray for our grandson! I highly recommend this place!!!!
I came back to Fairbanks to see two good friends get married. The weather was very cold but the apartment was toasty warm. It was the perfect size with a full kitchen, living room and a cozy bedroom, plus laundry room. Whenever I had a question Brian was extremely proactive in replying. The bed was comfy and there was plenty of hot water, and the location was ideal
Very cute unit with awesome neighbors! Everything you would need or want the owners have it covered. The unit is in a great location, right across from Pioneer Park and near quaint stores and restaurants. I will definitely stay here again when in Fairbanks.

Thank you Melissa! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we will look forward to seeing you again in Fairbanks.
Excellent location for exploring Fairbanks and surrounding area
This apartment was wonderful and we enjoyed availing ourselves of the fully stocked kitchen to make our own meals, including trout we caught in nearby lakes. The upstairs neighbor who lives there full time was friendly and approachable but not overbearing. Brian, the owner, was amazing and responsive, even providing suggestions on activities and places to check out. Walking distance to the park and other downtown attractions. Wonderful stay.

Decorated nice, clean. A lot of amenities. Upstairs tennant was very kind and helpful. No view as it is in the basement with stairs. Handy location for groceries, gas and dinning. A great place to land after a day of exploring.

Property had everything was clean and tidy and nicely decorated. Property is downstairs so no outlook if you are spending some time there.
We arrived at the property in the evening at about 8 and the upstairs neighbor was extremely helpful. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay. We were here for a soccer tournament and the convenience of the location to the fields was one of the best features. Brian was very prompt to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again!
