The dosser cabin is a cute cabin on the edge of a lake. We stayed at the cabin on our trip to…read moreFairbanks. The owner has been thoughtful in designing the cabin. There are small touches to make sure that your stay is wonderful. The cabin has a washer and dryer unit, two full bathrooms, three bedrooms with two queen and one bunk bed. It has heating too, so you can survive Alaska's cold weather. There is a fence around it (I assume to keep animals out). It has been decorated with a Christmas theme. The owner also left a nice package for our arrival. The only gripe that I have is that it doesn't have a dishwasher, but it isn't too hard to wash dishes by hand. Overall, our stay was wonderful.

They let me pitch my tent and even have my cat. Was quite handy to stay there since I could use the community kitchen and walk my cat around without being intimidated by traffic and lots of people. There are cabins and tents with multiple beds, some dorm style. There is a bit of airport noise, but I am usually pretty fussy about quiet but it didn't really bother me. Inexpensive way to explore Fairbanks, eat at restaurants, visit the University Museum, and more.

Our wall tent would sleep 4-6, so two of us had plenty of room. Table and chairs, couch, shelves and beds of course, table lamp small porch with chairs.

Not only did we find a random person sleeping in one of the beds of our private room one night, but we were also yelled at for having a beer in the dining room as this is "a non drinking hostel". This rule is not listed on any websites, including Billie's, in the hostel itself or upon checkin, or on any 3rd party bookings. We also had to share our "private" space with someone who enjoyed chanting at night outside our room at a loud volume. Really horrible experience, wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Amazing views, a variety of toasty tubs, and cute little cabins make for an EXCELLENT getaway!…read more Definitely check it out! We went for 2 nights, 3 days during the week because the cabin was booked solid almost every weekend. I'd advise at least doing 2 nights as getting out there is a bit of work no matter how ya do it (skiing, hiking, snow machining). We started the 10.1 mile trail out by snow machine around 1:30 and it took a few hours to get there as we got stuck and overheated a few times. Dropped our things and headed off to the hot springs almost as soon as we arrived. Chose the middle - a cedar tub (the other two were plastic) - for our first dip. The second night we did the top one which had a fabulous view -- although you had to stand it in pretty much (the middle one you could comfortably sit and lay down in). The sunrise on our second morning was stunning - purpled, oranges and blues! I'm only sorry I didn't snag a photo of it riding behind our cabin (I'd misplaced my phone during the fun the previous night). We also rode down to the lakes in our snow machines the second day -- it was absolutely beautiful and the boys really enjoyed sliding around and doing 360s on the ice of the frozen lake. Lots of trails to choose from too. AN ADVENTURE DEFINITELY WORTH HAVING!

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.

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!

Tanana Valley is a nice little campground tucked into a patch of forest right off the road. As an…read moreout-of-town'er working in Fairbanks over the summer, I used their tenting sites to car-camp in my Toyota 4-Runner while waiting to move into my rental house. At $25 you can't beat it, especially considering the astronomical hotel prices in Fairbanks. To that end, the campground served it's purpose in my "just to get by" situation. Unfortunately the shower facilities were closed during my stay because they were being renovated. I wasn't happy to discover the closed-off showers & restrooms because it was't mentioned on the website. As a matter of fact, the website still touts the showers as an available amenity, and the reservation confirmation email includes the entry codes for the digital combination locks on the shower building doors. It wasn't until my attempts to get into the shower building when I learned that they were closed for renovation. (The combo code was no good). That irked me, but it was't a deal-breaker. I had access to showers at my work as well as a local gym, so I adapted and kept on camping. This probably won't be the situation for other campers though, so the campsite owners are leaving themselves wide-open for confrontations with rightly-infuriated customers. Don't worry about trying to use the Wi-FI. If you do happen to be in an area of the campsite where it actually connects to your device, it does little more than infuriate you with an unusable snail's pace. Then it kicks you off and tells you that you have the wrong password. Then the password magically works again just long enough to disappoint you with its slow uselessness. But hey. It's a campground. Don't get on the internet. Build a campfire and swat mosquitos like mother nature intended. The main area of the campground, (mostly RV sites and a few tent sites), is clean and quiet. The double-letter tenting sites are in a separate section, much closer to the road. I skipped around the different tenting sites from evening to evening just to check things out. I prefer the single-letter sites that are in the main campground area, but the double-letter sites aren't too bad either. They all served their purpose of giving me a quiet place to park so I could get a good night's sleep. If the place had been much more than $25 for a tent site, I doubt I would have stayed there very long.
