The food was great and the owner welcomed everyone that walked in like they were family. We were there for lunch but it looks like a lively spot for a fun night out too. After lunch we walked across the street and a short hike through the beautiful rolling hills of snow we got the check out a really cool old gold dredge. It's places like this that make visiting new places so much more fun.

I had the Ronnie's 3 egg omelette and my wife had an omelette as well. The omelettes were perfectly cooked without being overdone. The omelette ingredients were fresh and delicious. Toast was perfect as well. The home fries were very seasoned and tasted unlike any I have had before, but they were very good. There is no way to convey the character and unique coolness of this restaurant. The owner spoke with us several times and was very enjoyable. All of the staff we encountered were very pleasant. This place is worth the drive and a highlight of our Alaska trip.

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!

We love hanging out by the river and enjoying watching the ducks float by. The spaces give us plenty of room to enjoy our stay. The staff are friendly and helpful and you can tell how much they truly care about the property. The bathrooms/ showers are always clean, the laundry mat is as well. Our family is in North Pole but we prefer to stay at Rivers Edge in spite of there being other parks closer. We did eat at Chena's Alaskan Grill this past may. They had changed to only having a buffet. It was a tad expensive for my taste but the food was very good and the service was too. The Rivers Edge Rv park is our home away from home while visiting Fairbanks.

I paid $1,600 upfront for one month and explained my situation to the office staff, including that I would probably be extending for an additional 2-3 weeks. I was hoping for a little compassion and understanding during a very difficult time, but that was not my experience. Once I parked, I realized the sites were very small and cramped, with the picnic table sitting right by the sewage line. There was very little room between campers, and it was not what I expected. Also the WiFi was very slow and almost none existent. I was told the overflow parking could be used for guests or an extra vehicle, so I had a friend park there when she visited. I was never told she needed to check in at the office first or that there would be a fee. Over the Fourth of July weekend, my friend parked in the overflow lot and, within minutes, two office employees came over and rudely told her she could not park there because the park was "full." In reality, there were around 20 overflow spaces and only one vehicle parked there all day. The next day, I went into the office to ask where a guest could park if they were picking me up. I was told there was a $10-per-day parking fee, but that I would not be charged because I was staying long term. I had no problem paying, but that had never been mentioned when I checked in. I was also told my friend's vehicle had been trespassed from the property for parking there a few days earlier. My friend was never contacted by police or notified and only found out when she returned to visit. She had to park outside the park and walk in. I only had company over five times total, and they never stayed more than an hour. The staff's communication was inconsistent, and the rules seemed to change as they went. I felt singled out and harassed throughout my stay. At that point, I had been planning to extend for another month, but I decided not to. The day before I checked out, my son stopped by for about five minutes to load my barbecue into his truck. Despite the park being nearly empty and check-in not starting until 4 p.m., staff were knocking on my door and questioning us almost immediately. This was one of the hardest times in my life, and I expected professionalism and kindness. Instead, I experienced rude treatment, confusing policies, and constant harassment. I would not stay here again or recommend this park.
