I already miss this place! My husband and I have traveled to a lot of places around the world and…read morewe have stayed at so many different types of places and this bnb will definitely be one to cherish and remember. Kathy Alonzo was our host and she was a wonderful host. We stayed with her for six nights and every morning, she made a delicious breakfast for us. When I'm on vacation, I like to sleep in and wake up like at noon or in the later afternoon, but here, I would get up at 7:30am just to have a serving of her yummy food. On our arrival, she took my husband and I out to a saloon and made burgers for us there. At home, she read poems to us in front of a fireplace. Also, she would alert us when the Northern Lights would come out. THE PLACE: It was impressive and exceeded our expectations. It was a wooden log house that I believe is about 2,000 sq. footage. We had the upstairs bedroom and it had windows that allowed you to see the Northern Lights when they came. Additionally, we had a jacuzzi. We also had two other beds behind our room that was kept separate as if the two beds were in a secret room. Our room was very spacious and super cozy. It's like, we never really wanted to leave our room space because it felt so good just being in there. The house also has a sauna room and a washer and dryer for your clothes. The service we received from Kathy along with the comfort and beauty of her home is unforgettable. Leaving here, was like leaving a family member due to the great relationship we were able to build with her and I HIGHLY recommend her place!

My dad and I had the opportunity to stay here on Tuesday, July 2, 2019. We just needed a quick place to stay for one night in Fairbanks as we had another flight to Bettles the following morning. So, so many regrets - I wish we had at least two nights here! The place is listed on the National Register of Historic Places!!! How awesome! We stayed in the William Room ($131) which was on the first floor of this beautifully historic bed and breakfast located in the heart of Fairbanks. The manager (?), Melanie, greeted us and got us checked in for the night. We were able to make ourselves feel at home even with all of the antiques everywhere. I was truly amazed and got out my DSLR to take some more photos. We did our laundry every chance we got during our five-week trip so I was quite thankful Melanie allowed us to use the washer and dryer which were located in the basement. Although each room seemed to be booked, we actually didn't see many other guests during our short stay. Like I mentioned before, our stay was short and we had to leave to get back to the airport pretty early. Melanie was so gracious to accommodate us and still provide breakfast despite it being before the normal breakfast time - I really appreciate that! The pancakes, sausage, and fresh fruit were all incredible and I'm not just saying that - it was one of the best breakfasts of the entire trip! I'm going to let the pictures show how great this place is but I do want to note this is one of the oldest buildings in Alaska, built in the 1916s (I think) by a wealthy man to court a female to Fairbanks. It was sold a short while later to author Mary Lee Davis and has since changed owners upwards of 11 times. It's been restored and decorated to reflect the early 19th century. Check out the pictures but more importantly, book a stay here!

Spent a single night in Fairbanks and enjoyed the comforts of this beautiful home and its owner…read more Bill is friendly, gracious, a great cook - breakfast was delicious, generous - he let us borrow his new guidebook to Alaskan highways for our drive up the Dalton Highway (terrifically informative and helpful), and broadly knowledgeable - we ended up in a discussion about the America's nuclear program in WW II and he spent a number of years as a teacher. Our room was comfortable, quiet and tastefully furnished. Note that this is a home in the midst of a residential neighborhood, so it did not fit our notion of a lodge. This is not meant as a negative, but rather it just did not fulfill our uninformed expectation. Also, it is 10-15 minutes to get to the airport, train station, or downtown, which was fine for us but to some it may matter. We highly recommend the accommodations if you are looking for a delightful night in Fairbanks.

Bill's breakfast/brunch is AMAZING, something both me and my love one are missing now that we are back in CA. The place is new and very close to the city and easy access to Chena Hotsprings, it's perfect for us. We got the Jacuzzi room and paid a bit more for it, it was totally worth it for us. The room is huge and we got everything we needed in the room, the host even provided a set of toiletries in case you forgot! The kitchen and living room is very nice, although we did not get to use it much. The place is immaculate and we are so very pleased with this booking. Also, Bill is such a great person, he has a ton of knowledge and talking to him seemed like I have learned so much about Alaska and other aspects of living. BONUS: we saw one of the best Northern Lights/Aurora right from the deck of this place! Highly highly recommended.

A couple of days ago while traveling in Alaska, we were driving a rental car on a snowy highway…read more Because of heavy snow and a sharp turn, our car slid off the road into a ditch and narrowly missed a utility pole. It was a frightening moment, especially since we were traveling with children. Golden North Inn happened to be located right in front of where our car came to a stop. Although we did not have a reservation, we went inside to ask for help. The reception staff showed us incredible kindness and compassion. They immediately offered assistance, provided us with a snow shovel, and allowed my children to use their restroom to warm up and regroup. In a stressful and vulnerable moment, their help truly meant more to us than words can express. Even though we were not guests, they treated us with genuine care and humanity. I wanted to leave this review simply to express my sincere gratitude and to recognize their willingness to help others. I would highly recommend Golden North Inn to fellow travelers--not only for their service, but for the kindness and heart they show when it truly matters.

Everything is quite spread out. My dad and I stayed in the nannyberry room, which had two twin beds and a private bathroom. There was obviously a lot of thought put into everything they provided- there's an outlet with USB ports, many hooks for all your gear, 2 (!) luggage racks, a fridge, sound machine, and an actual alarm clock. You can control the heat within your room, and there's a fan to help circulate. There's also an oscillating fan in the closet. They ask you to take your shoes off outside the room, they can certainly get dirty! I loved the quality of the linens and the thick towels, along with bathrobes. The hosts were fine about us arriving after midnight and left a key and great directions for us. Service could have been a bit more friendly but every question we asked was answered. The one thing missing is displaying or communicating the WiFi password to you. Lots of free parking and definitely a great price.

Not, definitely NOT a resort! This is a rundown apartment complex from the 80s badly in need of…read morerenovation, but I give two stars because the trails around the wildlife refuge are very nice to walk. The worst thing about the property is that it is supposed to be non-smoking "all suites" and we open the door to our two bedroom suite, and it was like walking into an ashtray. The smell hits you in the face so strong and horrible with stale smoke like the previous people , or previous hundred people, had been chain smoking. This was a nasty, smelly shock when we were expecting a non-smoking room . We asked to be moved to another room and they did and that one also smelled strongly of smoke but not as bad as the first one. It should be made clear and imperative to housekeeping staff that if they walk in to clean a room that smells of smoke when it should not have been smoked in it should be immediately reported to management so that they can do an ozone treatment on it before it is booked again though after years, and currently being smoked in I don't know if anything would really clear that stink. I have never before booked a non-smoking room anywhere and walked in to have it smelling like smoke. They should just give up on advertising these as non-smoking rooms. Another problem is that it's oil heated, and the boiler tapped all night, interfering with sleep . The microwave is worn and looks like it's from the 90s, as do the other kitchen appliances, as does the whole suite, as do the exterior buildings, some of which, clearly visible, are apartment buildings with long-term residence with bicycles and barbecues on the balconies! The shelf paper on the shelves is tattered and worn. The bedspreads are 90s and extremely heavy and fall off the bed . The main entrance lobby and check-in is nice, but then you are sent across the parking lot to your room number which is still signed like the original apartment buildings. There are no elevators so you are dragging your suitcases up stairs. This suite was over $300 per night and we expected much better. The place is not a resort, and our two bedroom "suite" an old two bedroom apartment that had been smoked in for decades. I asked for, and expected the price to be adjusted and they took off $20 per night for the three nights we were there, paying over $1000 total .This was not anywhere near an adequate adjustment. I wish that we had just left immediately upon smelling strong smoke in a room advertised as nonsmoking, and it is really nervy to be charging resort prices for an old apartment complex.

I later learned that these buildings were meant to house workers when there was an influx of people in Fairbanks during the Alaskan pipeline construction. Well now they are being used as hotel rooms/suites. It was just my husband and me staying there for 2 nights, and we had 2 queen size beds and a flat screen tv in the bedroom, plus a living room with a pullout sofa bed, a love seat, and an even larger flat screen tv. There was also a full kitchen and a small dining room area. (Even a large walk-in closet!). Someone could easily live here for a year or more! Our sliding glass door had a view of a wooded area, and if you went outside in back it was kind of a shared balcony that all the apartments on that floor had access to. The grounds were very well maintained and there were flowers planted all around to give it a park like setting. There was a nature/conservation area right out back with several marked trails; but the mosquitoes were so bad that we only made it about 1/10 of a mile before we had to turn back around. There was a restaurant and a bar in the main building. (We checked out the bar, and the service was friendly, and there were a few other friendly customers hanging out; but the menu was a bit limited and overpriced for what it was. Plus it didn't stay open very late.) I was surprised that there was no convenience store/gift shop on the premises. They did sell some bagged chips at the front desk, and there was a soda machine and a snack machine in the lobby. There was a convention center right next door and an adjacent automobile museum, but we didn't have time to check it out. All in all it was a well-maintained facility with a friendly staff.
