We saw the pictures but were so impressed with all of the Alaskan decor complemented by the huge for poster bed and the delightful view out the picture window. We saw northern lights three times in our 13 day stay and enjoyed it very much!

Great place to stay, would recommend if you are looking for something quiet, clean and relaxing.
What an incredible experience! The amenities and ambience both surpassed my wildest dreams. The enormous space was immaculate, fully stocked, expertly decorated and completely comfortable in every way. Mark and Jade were attentive, accommodating hosts and considerate enough to lend me an extension cord for the car engine heater as well as allow me to add on an additional night to my stay. I can’t thank you both enough for your hospitality.
It was very nice and plenty of space for the 2 of us. It had everything we needed. Plus, the location right off the expressway made a quick and easy drive to Fairbanks. I will definitely be back if I’m in the area.
Out of Fairbanks about 8 miles on a major highway. Good views , so we could sometimes see the Northern Lights from the property. It is a single large room with a minimal 'kitchen', microwave, full size fridge and freezer, toaster oven. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. Also a pull-out couch, which we didn't use. The host was great - he knocked on the door to let us know when the Northern Lights were out the first night - greatly appreciated! A rustic decor, with stuffed animals galore. Highly recommend.
What a wonderful facility full of Alaska! The owner is very friendly and kind. We can watch the northern lights through the wide and clear window. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.

After a week in rustic cabins, Northstar Borealis Lights felt like a castle. Comfortable beds, plenty of space, and kitchen items (plasticwear, coffee and tea, even oatmeal) that were unexpected. Well worth the price - our best "deal" of our trip!
The room was large, comfortable, with dun decorations and close to things to do. The host is friendly and there when you need him but who otherwise will leave you alone to do your thing. Will try to stay at again if I can return.
This was the perfect place for our northern lights adventure. It had the best set up, with a large north facing window where we could watch for the lights from the warmth of the indoors. We actually saw the lights twice and it was amazing. The host was incredibly helpful and responded very quickly to messages! The last night the host even came to let us know the lights were visible so we didn’t miss them. They were amazing, the place was amazing, the bathroom floor was heated. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this place!

This was a beautiful place to stay - spacious, well situated, clean and affordable. The taxidermy animal heads gave the space a great local flavor and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely try to book this place again if I get a chance to come back to the Fairbanks area. Thanks for a great stay!
Modern, comfortable and spacious. Definitely recommend this VRBO convenient to Fairbanks activities.
