It was further out of Fairbanks than we expected, and dining/cooking options are limited. However, there is a great picture window facing north, so if the aurora is out, you get a great view while staying warm inside!

Great place to stay, would recommend if you are looking for something quiet, clean and relaxing.
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.
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.
