So glad we booked here, the views are amazing. Great retreat at the end of an adventurous day! The little labels in the kitchen for where things are was a nice touch. Well managed property!

Norrsken View was an absolutely amazing home to stay at while visiting Fairbanks and our family wouldn’t have it any other way. The location was the perfect mix of just far enough from the city to appreciate nature’s beauty and quiet and just close enough without having to sacrifice convenience to markets and the airport. The hosts Brent and Leah were amazingly hospitable. The home was well equipped and spotless. The first drive up was a little nerve racking given how high up the home is but the views make each drive worth it. We were even lucky enough to see some of the northern lights our first night! Overall, an unforgettable stay. Till next time.

Beautiful Spot

Property was very clean and very well stocked. The hosts left a nice gift basket for us which was nice after a long drive. Sauna was awesome and so were the views. Northern lights were a real treat. Great stay and great host!

An absolutely amazing place with stunning views and a wonderful host—the best in Fairbanks! The location is perfect, just a short drive from Ester Dome for viewing the Aurora. The Scandinavian-style interior is both beautiful and luxurious. The hosts were very thoughtful, providing games for all ages, which my son especially enjoyed. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Fairbanks.

The view was amazing!! Took in Denali a few times...We couldnt stop looking out the windows or going on the large deck. The property had all the amenities we needed for a family of 6. Plenty of sleeping options. Kitchen had everything to make full meals. Enjoyed campfires and the sauna after spending the day exploring Fairbanks and the surrounding area. The kids loved meeting King the neighborhood dog too!!

Perfect Alaskan Home away from Home

This VRBO was a dream! 5 stars on all levels! Host had excellent communication! Location couldn't have been any better! House was clean, comfy, spacious, equipped and had a modern woodsy feel! All the furniture was new, clean, and comfy (inside and outside)! Extra supply of towels, sheets, and blankets. We all had a great time! When showing photos to other friends who were visiting Alaska, they all commented on how lucky we were to have this view! The 2 outdoor patios and firepit area were amazing! We stayed on one of the hottest Alaska summer days and despite not having central air conditioning, there were multiple vans available and the home stayed cool. We would definitely stay here again!! Perfect! Thank you for the great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay! It’s a great 5 star experience. Brent and Leah accommodated us when we had some issues with the booking from our end. Their communication is spot on. The location has great views of Denali. Not too far from the airport.

I can't say enough about how easy the experience was from the very beginning. Host communication was excellent, and check-in was a breeze. The photos simply do not do this property justice—the views from the decks are absolutely incredible and were one of our favorite parts of the stay.The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked with everything you could possibly need, making it easy to prepare meals. The living area is spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of room for the whole family to relax.The downstairs bedroom was dark and quiet, perfect for a great night's sleep. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom featured a large walk-in shower. The towels were soft and of great quality, adding an extra touch of comfort. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms with comfortable beds, quality sheets, and cozy blankets. The large upstairs bathroom easily accommodated everyone. The trundle bed area was a great bonus, creating an extra space to relax with its large TV. Even the laundry room was spacious and well equipped.And then there's the sauna—the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. It was a wonderful place to relax, detox, and end each evening.We truly loved our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book this home again. If I could give it 10 stars, I absolutely would!
