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.

Epic Road Trip
My husband and I traveled to Fairbanks from Delaware via Houston, Texas. This place was north of town, peaceful and quiet. Amazingly prompt response to each request we had. We will always remember your generosity in sharing a handmade Black Spruce walking stick with my husband. A true home-away-from-home!

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!

Welcome place out of the city
We had a delightful stay at this VRBO. The place was spotlessly clean and easy to locate, which made our arrival stress-free. The room was well-equipped with everything we needed, providing ample sleeping space and comfort. One of the highlights of our stay was the charming decor featuring fish, moose, and bear-themed elements. These whimsical touches added character to the space and made us feel like we had some great companions during our visit. The comfortable accommodations allowed us to rest well, leaving us refreshed and ready to continue our journey. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would recommend this place to other travelers looking for a clean, comfortable, and uniquely decorated spot

Absolutely LOVED this place!! The owners are super sweet and very helpful. I took the wrong turn and ended up having to call them at 2am and he gave me Directions on how to get to the correct spot. Helped me unload. Place is very clean and rustic. I loved the big windows and heated floor! Very quiet place if you are looking for a little bit of seclusion but not too far away from town. Saw a little bit of wildlife out there as well. Will definitely book again!

Perfect spot to see the northern lights!
I can't say enough good things about Jade & Mark's place! It was the perfect size space for my 15 y/o daughter and I. The bed was comfy and we were plenty warm when it was single digits outside. We even named the moose Steven lol :) We were close enough to Fairbanks to go there for lunch, but far enough away to watch the auroras dancing in the sky, so the location is perfect. Mark even came to make sure we saw the lights the last night we were there! They were very accommodating when our travel plans changed and allowed us to stay an extra night (and we felt terrible when we overslept and had to rush to make sure they had time to clean before their next guests arrived!) Overall, if you're looking for a cozy spot to stay that's just out of the city, but still close to drive in for food, and has a giant window to watch the northern lights so you don't have to sit outside and freeze, then this is the place to be!!

Great launching and viewing locale
Loved the location north of town away from city lights - with a large window through which to watch for Northern Lights. Hosts were kind enough to notify us very late one night when lights were active, since we hadn't seen them yet. Easy to explore greater Fairbanks in all directions - and we did! Warm floors for cold nights, super comfortable bed, spacious and complete accommodations. Thanks Jade and Mark for everything!

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!
