I want to emphazise that the the Northern Lights are predicted to peak in 2025. 2021 was an exceptional year and so far 2022 has had some incredible Auroras. Generally, the peak season begins August 20-April 15. Realize that the earlier and later in the season, the darkness is less, so you generally have less of a window to view the lights. It is warmer, but your viewing period is shorter. I was just above the arctic circle for a week (Sept 2-11) and had 2 phenomenal evenings of lights viewing 4 hours and 2 hours. If you want to have a good opportunity to view the lights, check out the UAF Geophysical Aurora Forecast which can help predict peak times to have success. That being said, I have had excellent viewing with a 2 kp level. This year there have been a number of days with a 6 kp level which is extraordinary.. If you are interested in viewing or photographing the lights, let me know what you are interested in and I will do my best to help. https://www.gi.alaska.edu/monitors/aurora-forecast

Great place to stay in Fairbanks!
The home is located right next to pioneer park & close to downtown. There are few grocery stores within few mins drive. Also most of the well-known aurora viewing points in Fairbanks area are within an hour drive. If you are lucky, might be able to watch them right outside the home. We found it perfect for short or longer stays. Brian is one of the best host we have ever seen. He was fast in responding to our queries and provided us with many good recommendations & suggestions to explore around. We will definitely be staying here in case we are visiting Fairbanks again.

Stay in March
Everything about staying here was super nice! The property is exactly like described and made our stay in Fairbanks amazing. It’s located really close to practically everything and almost anything we wanted to do was within 10 minutes. Two people slept in the bed and one on the couch and none of us had any complaints about comfortability. I’m not sure if it’s due to when we stayed there but this house ended up being cheaper than booking a hotel, which was a major plus as we really felt like we had our own space. Overall staying there was an incredible option and the owner was extremely nice and helped make our staff that much better!

Excellent location for exploring Fairbanks and surrounding area
This apartment was wonderful and we enjoyed availing ourselves of the fully stocked kitchen to make our own meals, including trout we caught in nearby lakes. The upstairs neighbor who lives there full time was friendly and approachable but not overbearing. Brian, the owner, was amazing and responsive, even providing suggestions on activities and places to check out. Walking distance to the park and other downtown attractions. Wonderful stay.

Perfect for us!
Nothing flashy and a bit small for our family of five, but this was a perfect place for our stay in Fairbanks! Excellent communication from the host and a very nice location within walking distance of quite a few things Fairbanks has to offer. The place was clean and well stocked with everything we needed.

Top notch host, unit and location!
We previously lived in Fairbanks for 22 years, about a mile from this VRBO so were we very familiar with this area. We were there to move our mid-30 year daughter and granddaughter down to the Lower 48 to be closer to family. The unit was very clean and stocked with everything we needed, as well as some extras I wasn't expecting that came in handy. The location was great for us as well as for tourists. It's right next door to Pioneer Park, one of Fairbanks prime tourist locations. . We took our granddaughter to the park every day to take a break from the long hours and days of sorting and packing. The long-term tenants upstairs were warm and welcoming. Brian, our host was wonderful. We have stayed in many VRBOs over the years, both in the US and overseas, and I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking to travel to Fairbanks, Alaska.

Decorated nice, clean. A lot of amenities. Upstairs tennant was very kind and helpful. No view as it is in the basement with stairs. Handy location for groceries, gas and dinning. A great place to land after a day of exploring.
