Rivers Edge Resort

We flew into Fairbanks and were picked up at the airport for a short ride to the Rivers Edge. Very cute private cottages, lots of hanging flower pots, clean rooms with outside tables to enjoy the patios. Had dinner at the Chena's Alaskan Grill which was a short walk from our place and can be reserved through the hotel site, good food-reasonable prices for a steak house kind of meal- and breakfast in the main lodge. Breakfast a little pricey for the buffet but good food, they have a continental option or full breakfast and they provide a shuttle to the train station. The only downside would be dragging the suitcases over the gravel driveway to the rooms but I am sure the staff would assist if asked. All in all a great start to our trip, should have booked two nights and explored Fairbanks more.

We stayed 3 nights, in one of the garden cottages. It was quiet, spacious, and very clean. Everything was maintained & in excellent repair. We loved the individual patio, complete with table & chairs & a large hanging planter of flowers, and sliding glass door for access. There was even a row of bushes in front of the patio for more privacy. We felt like we were miles away from civilization, in our own little world! It was very pleasant to stroll around the grounds, with the garden-like atmosphere and white, tidy cottages. We would definitely stay here again, and wish they were open in winter!

Liked the privacy of the cabins. The room was updated with the exception of the tv. Comfortable and relaxing. Great location to the UAF campus.

Booking was for a riverside cottage, but when I got there they had overbooked and put me in the lodge instead. Nice enough room, but the thermostat did not work and it was directly above the kitchen. Which started preparing breakfast at 4 am every day. Loudly. Breakfast was not included, meaning an extra fee every day.

We were here 3 nights in August 2013. We went to see the Aurora Borealis, but due to cloud cover, we didn't get to see it although some people reported seeing the lights on 2 of the 3 nights. The hotel is nice. The room is the right size, and the bathroom area is great. We had lots of hot water (a concern when it's that cold!), and the room was very comfortable.

Nice clean little single room buildings. Nice grounds, clean, well kept. 13 tv channels, old CRT tv, can hear traffic on hwy and driving on gravel in parking lot through walls, crappy wifi. No other facilities. Left the Holiday Inn I was at for work and booked this room at a resort when my wife came up. Holiday inn had pool, hot tub, free breakfast, nice TV, and was quiet. I wish we had stayed there. If your looking for a little cottage to stay in it's a very nice place. If your looking for a resort try else where.

We booked on line and when we arrived they didn't have a room for us the first night (we stayed three nights). They sent us to the Bear Lodge (an upgrade) at no additional cost and gave the four of us a free breakfast.They were very apologetic.

Very cute, comfortable and relaxing cottage. Most of the staff was pretty friendly, but the night time staff was not helpful and some were very grumpy. Also, would have been nice to have access to an ironing board and iron. Overall I would stay here again.

They call themselves a resort. There are no amenities like kayaks even though it is advertised on the website. No bikes or the kind of things you would expect a resort to have. The breakfast is not worth paying for. The staff is shockingly rude on almost all interactions and the beds were hard. It is no resort. Look for another place. It is not worth the price. The only positive thing I can say is that the rooms were clean but one on of my stays they overlooked getting my room cleaned. I came it at 4;00 and it was not done. It is off of the highway and the car noise is very loud.

It was so relaxing and such a comforting setting. Wish I could of stayed longer the landscaping was beautiful. I know where ill be staying from now in when I need a weekend get away that's for sure!
