Gilmore House

We are located off of historic Gilmore Trail appx. 10 miles north of Fairbanks. Our cute 3b.r.- 1 bath home can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people and is perfect for anyone who is interested in exploring the Last Frontier at your own pace. We have a large deck located on the 2nd floor and a large front porch, both overlooking the historic Gold filled hills north of town. Great for watching the Northern Lights or enjoying the Midnight Sun! The kitchen has pots & pans, dishes, silverware, baking pans, cake pans etc. and we always provide, with our compliments, a food *'Starter Kit' with things like Bacon & Eggs, OJ, milk, & various other breakfast items, plus bread, butter, PB&J, a variety of condiments, salad dressings, spices, and more, as well as snacks & some bottled water. In the freezer there are always a couple of pizzas! *(Gluten /Dairy free options available upon request with advanced notice). So much easier than trying to find a Grocery store before you've even had a chance to get settled in! With a little notice, we can pick you up or drop you off at the Airport or Train Depot. We are Pet friendly & have food & water bowls & a blanket for your fur babies. We live next door, so no matter what time of year you come to Alaska, we are always available should you need anything & we will do our absolute best to make sure you and your family & friends have a great visit! No matter where you choose to stay, whether with us or elsewhere, we hope you have a wonderful time in Alaska!

Laura and Martin have an amazing place to watch the Aurora's from and hang out just outside of Fairbanks. She shared lots of recommendations, the stash of food to begin was a lifesaver. Just a wonderful vacation spot!!!

Cosy cabin in a beautiful area
We had a great time staying in the Gilmore house, we stayed with our family and really enjoyed our time. The house is really cosy and warm, clean and quiet, you feel you are in the woods. Laura and Martin were fantastic hosts, they left all the amenities for us to enjoy and relax. They even let us know every time the Aurora's were out. Thank you Laura and Martin!!

Fabulous Fairbanks at the Gilmore House!
Laura and Martin were amazing hosts! They even picked us up at the train station and got us to our rental car - saved us a bunch of $. Gilmore house is a warm and welcoming home full of historical artifacts. This is definitely a place to visit and stay again. A wonderful location to see the Northern Lights. I can't recommend them highly enough - book it!

Outstanding Experience!!!
I can’t speak highly enough about this experience! Laura was so helpful. She truly wants her guests to have an outstanding experience. The house is full of treasures. It’s perfectly located just outside Fairbanks. It’s quiet, but convenient to everything. We even saw the Northern Lights right from the house. Stay here if you’re in the area.

Merritt extended family
A group of my family from the midwest (IL, KY and TN) traveled to Fairbanks for a vacation. We chose Sept to try to see the Northern Lights while there. Our host was extremely helpful both in planning the trip while we were there. Laura is amazing and we loved the beautiful and well decorated house where we could see the Aurora from our lodging. Strongly recommend it.

Great Getaway!
Great home away from home, near enough to town but with all the feel of a cozy cabin away. The hosts are amazing, good communication and helpful with every part of the stay. We definitely appreciated all the notes, recommendations, and the "starter kit" groceries. We would definitely stay again!!

Great place to decompress
The Gilmore House is so quaint and cute with all of the authentic furnishings with notes sharing a little bit about each one. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. A wondeful place to decompress and relax. Laura stopped over to make sure everything was okay and was nice enough to share some farm fresh eggs with us which made some very delicious breakfast. Definitely would stay again the next time we're in Valdez.

Charming spot!
We enjoyed our stay at Gilmore House. Laura was super helpful, providing resources before we arrived and checking in via text through our stay. Laura and Martin live next door so are available if needed and very friendly. The house has loads of charm and thoughtful touches. For example, we stayed during a few warm days with lots of sun coming through the lovely windows - thankfully fans were available to keep things cool in each bedroom.

Wonderful
Laura and Martin were great hosts! They made us feel like family and not just guests. Laura picked us up at the airport, and dropped us off to get our car and brought our bags to the house so we could enjoy our day in Fairbanks! There was a food “starter” kit there for us when we arrived and she offered us tips on places to go eat, visit and see the Northern Lights! She even offered to wake us if the Northern lights came out! The Gilmore house itself is beautiful clean and has a comfy feeling to it. The views were breathtaking! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is definitely a home away from home! We highly recommend it and will definitely stay there again if we make it back to Fairbanks! Thanks Laura for everything!!

Winter wonderland vacation
The Gilmore house is one of the best places we've ever stayed while traveling and there are lots of reasons why: - The view is epic and solitary - The house is warm, comfy, charming, and full of fascinating historic Alaskan details. - The house is stocked with amenities and gear that helped us make the most out of our adventures. - The sledding hills on the property were incredibly fun - The hosts are especially kind and thoughtful! Overall 10/10 truly, we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our time in Fairbanks and see the aurora!
