Great for watching the Northern Lights or enjoying the Midnight Sun!

Laura and Martin were amazing hosts! The cabin is cozy and warm. If you are going for the Northern Lights, this cabin is the perfect spot. Close enough to the city for touristing during the day and far enough in the hills to get out of the ice fog and watch the Northern Lights dance at night. Highly recommend this rental!

From the start of our vacation communication with the host was exceptional. We were not guessing when we arrived on the process to check in Directions were spot on and we arrived with ease even in the dark. They provided snacks for us which came in hand when we arrive late and my kids were hungry. The house is clean and warm The host were helpful when planning tours or if I had questions and gave wake up calls when the auroras were out. We were grateful and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Gilmore house and Fairbanks in general.

Perfect. Laura thought of every amenity and the snacks/food were great as was the condiment section in the frig (mustard, mayo, butter!) We only saw the lights one night and Laura alerted us to them. The bed was comfy, and the living area was great for hanging out in and watching the birds and squirrels at the feeder.

The house was clean and warm. It was cozy with large windows to watch the birds and squirrels on the front porch or enjoy the peacefulness of the forest. It had the feeling of coming home. Laura and Martin thought of everything! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to need to cook a meal. They even had everything to make breakfast. The beds were comfortable with flannel sheets and extra blankets if needed. The cabin was filled with historical photographs and books that added interest. The location was perfect and easy to find. The snow covered trees made it magical! The second story balcony was perfect for Aurora viewing!

Laura and Martin have a wonderful get-away. Breakfast, coffee, water and snacks await you upon arrival. The house is clean and the decor provides real Alaskan vibe. I stayed mid-July and the deck and flowers were peaceful and inviting. As hosts,, they are friendly and attentive. I would recommend anyone to their lovely Gilmore house.

Special dietary needs were met. Loved the starter food package they provided. Rooms were super nice. They also provided information about things to do and see in the Fairbanks area. Definitely recommend Gilmore House for the ultimate Alaskan stay.

We decided to celebrate our 25th anniversary in AK to see the Northern Lights. This was our second but longest stay. What a wonderful location! Great hostess! After asking about GF restaurants, she provided some GF items for our “starter kit”. It was wonderful and much appreciated. She asked if we wanted to be informed of when the Northern lights were out (which was our very last night there) and alerted us. The view from the upstairs deck was amazing and super convenient. So peaceful and quiet. We even saw a mother moose and her 2 calves eating leaves and grass in the front and side of the house!

Great communication with the host. Laura offered recommendations for activities and restaurants prior to our visit. The home is super cute and was comfortable for 4 adults. I enjoyed all of the old pictures and antiques. Location was very convenient for all of our activities. I would definitely recommend and would stay again. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of snacks and breakfast items that were available to us as our flight arrived in the middle of the night.
