Some guests noted limited living room seating and a lack of dressers or nightstands in bedrooms. The location is described as quiet and convenient to groceries, downtown, and the airport, and a few guests even saw the Northern Lights from the property. Expect a comfortable, group-friendly stay.

Wonderful home. Very clean. Perfectly suited for what we wanted. And having a garage to park your car in during winter months is a plus. Would rent this place again if heading to Fairbanks in the future.

This is a great place for a larger party or family to stay. The provided hot drinks and snacks were a plus. Having a heated garage to park in for our winter stay was very convenient. The spacious kitchen was great for making meals with everything we needed.

We booked the BirchHill retreat for three nights. The house is cozy and spacious and the host had most of the supplies including spices and other ingredients already. We had access to the garage and it was big enough for two standard SUVs. We could see the northern lights from the front and backyard of the house which was a plus! The host was responsive and easy to reach.

Large home big enough to accommodate our large group visiting Fairbanks for a wedding. The house was clean, well maintained and welcoming. The snacks provided were appreciated and enjoyed! The rooms were comfortable and spacious. We easily parked three vehicles at the property. I definitely recommend this property to anyone needing space for a large group. It’s close to everything and easy to find.

The home is beautiful, clean, spacious! The bedroom layout was perfect! The host was kind and very generous with his time to come over and help with the front door lock as the temperature outside made a glitch to open upon arrival. Having a heated garage was such a blessing !! Not sure if host made the “welcome” basket with snacks and ramen and that was such an added surprise! PERFECT PERFECT! My BEST experience with a VRBO! Thank you!!!

House was as described with well-stocked kitchen. Laundry was easy to use. Lack of furniture in bedrooms might be a problem for a longer stay. No dressers (only hanging available) in bedrooms meant we were living out of our suitcases and primary bedroom lacked a nightstand on one side.

Nice quiet area, check in was easy and smooth. The garage was an added perk for when it was raining, which was every day at some point. We were in the last part of our Alaska trip and was a good place to relax and rest up for the last two days before we flew out of Anchorage. We had everything we needed in the house.

We stayed here for 3 nights to cap off a 15 day trip to Alaska. This was a great home base in Fairbanks, super close to everything we wanted to do. The home was very clean (super important to us) and very spacious. I loved the small extra touches as well - a few bottles of water and soda in the fridge, a few bags of chips, travel sized toothpaste in every bathroom, etc. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property for your stay in Fairbanks.

Great property for our needs for 7 days/nights. We had plenty of space for our group of 4 needing 3 separate bedrooms. 2 separate baths and an extra toilet downstairs. We cooked every meal at the property, and the kitchen/living room layout was perfect. Great for hanging out together. Location was super, so close to groceries at Walmart and other options. Check in was easy. I only needed to ask the host how to access the property, and to notify him/her when we departed. Both times I got responses in less than a minute! We had no other need to contact the host. The property had everything we needed.

We had a very nice stay at this property. It was very convenient to the highway and in a nicer newer neighborhood that felt very safe. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice that they were all queens and kings for our 3 couples. The heated floors in the bathrooms were a great extra! The kitchen was nicely stocked even though we did not cook any meals. The only down side was that the living area only had one couch and so several of us had to sit in the dining chairs when hanging out in the evenings. Not a huge deal, just not as comfortable. All in all I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Fairbanks.

We stayed here for 3 nights to cap off a 15 day trip to Alaska. This was a great home base in Fairbanks, super close to everything we wanted to do. The home was very clean (super important to us) and very spacious. I loved the small extra touches as well - a few bottles of water and soda in the fridge, a few bags of chips, travel sized toothpaste in every bathroom, etc. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property for your stay in Fairbanks.

The beds were very comfortable and it was nice that they were all queens and kings for our 3 couples. The heated floors in the bathrooms were a great extra! The kitchen was nicely stocked even though we did not cook any meals. The only down side was that the living area only had one couch and so several of us had to sit in the dining chairs when hanging out in the evenings. Not a huge deal, just not as comfortable. All in all I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Fairbanks.

Very clean and comfortable place to stay in Fairbanks. Great location. All the amenities you need plus coffee, snacks and with the washer and dryer the owner even provided laundry soap and fabric conditioner. Would highly recommend this great condo.

This is a great place for a larger party or family to stay. The provided hot drinks and snacks were a plus. Having a heated garage to park in for our winter stay was very convenient. The spacious kitchen was great for making meals with everything we needed.

We booked the BirchHill retreat for three nights. The house is cozy and spacious and the host had most of the supplies including spices and other ingredients already. We had access to the garage and it was big enough for two standard SUVs. We could see the northern lights from the front and backyard of the house which was a plus! The host was responsive and easy to reach.

We stayed here for 3 nights to cap off a 15 day trip to Alaska. This was a great home base in Fairbanks, super close to everything we wanted to do. The home was very clean (super important to us) and very spacious. I loved the small extra touches as well - a few bottles of water and soda in the fridge, a few bags of chips, travel sized toothpaste in every bathroom, etc. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property for your stay in Fairbanks.

The house was exactly as advertised. It was a perfect location. The owners got back to us quickly for any information we asked. They had an infant bed at the house ready for our little one. The house was spotless and even had some snacks and coffee available. I would recommend it to anyone asking.

Excellent stay for a group of eight. Kitchen was well-outfitted, there were condiments, coffee, very welcoming, plenty of towels, wifi and tv worked great, and I would definitely stay here again. Extremely comfortable.

Great property for our needs for 7 days/nights. We had plenty of space for our group of 4 needing 3 separate bedrooms. 2 separate baths and an extra toilet downstairs. We cooked every meal at the property, and the kitchen/living room layout was perfect. Great for hanging out together. Location was super, so close to groceries at Walmart and other options. Check in was easy. I only needed to ask the host how to access the property, and to notify him/her when we departed. Both times I got responses in less than a minute! We had no other need to contact the host. The property had everything we needed.

Large home big enough to accommodate our large group visiting Fairbanks for a wedding. The house was clean, well maintained and welcoming. The snacks provided were appreciated and enjoyed! The rooms were comfortable and spacious. We easily parked three vehicles at the property. I definitely recommend this property to anyone needing space for a large group. It’s close to everything and easy to find.

Our accommodations were fine, but what was really impressive was our host. When our flight was canceled he arranged another accommodation for us. He then drove us to the airport for our next flight! Pretty impressive considering the weather was in the -40s. Thank you, Quoc!!!
