Our stay at Life's Better on the RIver was Great! We had beautiful September weather! The house's location to the airport, town and the railroad was so convenient. A favorite part of days there was the river activity and hot tub! The Riverboat tours and float plane demos daily were fun to watch! And the local boaters were fun to watch coming and going. The house had everything we needed. Thank you for snacks, coffee and bubbly on our arrival. Nice touches. {A washer and dryer would have been helpful.} Thank you for sharing your cute home. We'd love to stay again when we return to Fairbanks.
