We had a great stay. The home is very spacious, well laid out, extremely comfortable and several options for extra entertainment. The views are outstanding, and we were even lucky enough to have a local moose stop by, which made the experience feel very “Alaska.”The house is well stocked with all the small essentials you don’t think about until you need them, and the garage was a huge bonus—especially in the cold. It’s also a perfect setup for viewing the northern lights.Location is excellent—very close to the airport, but you wouldn’t know it from how quiet and private it feels.Communication with the host was excellent throughout. Would absolutely stay here again.

Very nice property, close to town yet far enough out to be a little country. Nicely furnished to make our stay comfortable. The heated floors were great. We appreciated the extra amenities in the garage to make our aurora hunting trips a little easier (hand warmers, lawn chairs and a big cozy blanket).

We found the VRBO spacious, clean and comfortable. It was easily large enough for 10 people and there was room enough for privacy, games for children and enough bathrooms. Access to Fairbanks was easy and the privacy was great. The host & hostess were readily available for any questions or issues we had. No issues. We'd do it again.

Stunning view from this beautiful place!

3 couples rented this house as a place to stay prior to our land tour with Holland America. There was more than enough room in this very spacious house and the 3 patio decks with the beautiful view of the River made this a most memorable place. There were plenty of amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms and laundry room as well games, extra chairs, coolers etc. Our only regret is that we did not have enough time to use everything provided, especially the walking trail down to the water. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

WOW WOW WOW!!!

Absolutely beautiful property with a river view, completely equipped with all details and amenities! Spacious with 4 bedrooms and a loft - we (4 of us) only used a fraction of the space! Spotless clean and tidy! Every detail is there, especially in the kitchen. Ample fans for the warm summer days and even room air conditioners for 3 bedrooms for the hottest day.Nicole is a great communicator and really makes you feel at home! From the start she provides a personal review of places, activities, and restaurants to help you make the most of your time. She engages enough to keep you informed but not too much to intrude of your vacation - all communications are positive to assist you. We really felt at home at Fox Den and would recommend to others especially larger families!!

Fox Den is AMAZING!

We had a group of 9 of us, including 1 child, and we had an absolute blast at Fox Den! We loved cooking meals together in the enormous kitchen. The game room was awesome, and the views from the balconies were breathtaking. While we were there we visited Chena Hot Springs, North Pole, and we made a trip to the top of Murphy Dome to chase the Northern Lights....which were spectacular on the night we were there. We even saw them from the balcony of Fox Den on our last night in Fairbanks. Nicole was great to communicate with, and it's very clear that she and her husband enjoy hosting people in their lovely home. If we're ever back in Fairbanks, we will definitely come back to Fox Den. And I will most definitely recommend Fox Den to anyone I know who is visiting Fairbanks!

First Alaskan Vacation

The property was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed, except for air conditioning! It was unfortunately unexpectedly so HOT and having only fans was difficult because we had to keep the curtains closed to keep the midnight sun out of the room but that minimized air flow. The owners provided box fans that helped tremendously but we our spoiled with Central Air. The house was amazing despite the views being affected by the smoke from the wildfires but we had an amazing trip and are grateful to the owners for opening up their home to guests.

Perfect place for all of us

This home was perfect for our group of 5. Nestled out of the way, u never felt like anyone else was around. The home is as described. Spacious bedrooms helped us enjoy our stay without feeling cramped. The common areas were upstairs as is 1 bedroom. Above that is a loft with a bed but we never used that area. The downstairs (entry floor) has 3 bedrooms. The house did get warm on a few days but there were box fans to help circulate the air which helped a lot. We did catch the Northern Lights on our last night there which was amazing. We could see them outside at the front door and through the windows in the downstairs bedroom (the one with 2 beds). We only had two suggestions for this place: it’d be nice to have a half bath on the main floor (common area) and it’d be nice to have some spatulas to cook with (versus just pancake type). I know u can’t make a 1/2 bath happen overnight LOL. But it was something we would have preferred! Overall, we loved our stay here as our base camp for Denali (2 hour drive away) and just hanging out in Fairbanks. Also, I was super impressed that they have a Wii and an XBox with games! While we never had time to play those (we did play air hockey) I think other families would enjoy them. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing vacation home

My family and I stayed here for a week, for Christmas. This home is everything we wanted. Exceptionally clean, plenty of room for five people, with much room to spare. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. We saw the Aurora from the deck or front door almost nightly. We messaged the owner once to ask a question and they responded immediately. The view is breathtaking, and we never got tired of watching it. The heated garage was a game changer since it got down to-38°F. The house was always very comfortable temperature wise. If we are ever fortunate enough to get back to Fairbanks, this will definitely be our #1 choice for a rental.

Amazing place!

This place was perfect for our family. We traveled w/a 3 and 1 year old and it was large enough we could stay in the master suite and allow the rest of our party to sleep soundly at night or just get away from them for awhile, ha. It was large and spacious and had all necessary accomodations. It's very well kept and the VIEW was EVERYTHING. Being able to use the garage was a great perk, too, especially w/the little ones! Highly recommend this place and if we ever come back we'll definitely look into staying here again. Communication w/Nicole was above par! Great, great, great place.

Fox Den is a great family house.

We really enjoyed our vacation at the Fox Den in Fairbanks. From the instant I made the reservation, homeowner Nicole was friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, the radiant floor heating provided a consistent and cozy temperature. The view of the river was beautiful, especially with the snow. There were plenty of games and a couple of jigsaw puzzles to enjoy. The night we experienced the Northern Lights, we saw them when standing outside the front of the house. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Millam

Host profile image
Nicole is a retired teacher, and Jason is a structural engineer. After raising our family in Fairbanks, we decided to open Fox Den to travelers so they can enjoy all that Fairbanks and the surrounding area have to offer, while we travel and experience new adventures.

Why they chose this property

Fox Den is was custom built in 2007 by Jason, who is a structural engineer, and boasts large, custom windows, and a beautiful tongue and groove ceiling in the great room. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home with sleeping loft features Arxx Block construction, radiant heat flooring, and multiple decks to enjoy the south-facing view.

What makes this property unique

Fox Den is located in a quiet, rural/residential neighborhood. You will have plenty of privacy on our 2-acre lot facing uninhabited woodlands. Moose roam the woods and frequently come into our yard to munch on willows or take a nap. We are away from city lights, making it a prime location for viewing the Aurora.
