Chena Hot Springs Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The positive for us were the following: We really enjoyed our time in the hot springs, we soaked in its waters every afternoon. Liked the fact that only adults (18+) could use it. We liked the quietness of the area and its trails. We liked that we could fill our hydroflask with water at the lobby-check in area to the springs and the water tasted great.We would stay here again 2 days max, not a whole week like we did.
For us the negatives are the following:
We have never stayed at a resort that did not have a mini fridge in the room. A mini fridge is important especially if there aren't any markets around. Eating at the ONE and ONLY restaurant in the property can be expensive. Also the restaurant did not have a lot waiters/waitresses, so being seated and served could be a while depending on the time. Juan, one of the servers, was super helpful, attentive, and shared pointers on some of the nearby trails. If you want the room to be serviced, you have to let the front desk know otherwise it will not be serviced even if you put the rag on the door.
The pool we only used it once. I didn't like that the sides of the pool looked (were) dirty.

Elite 2-bedroom apartment in Moose Creek with WiFi

"We had a VRBO booked for over six months in Salcha, the owner decided to cancel our reservation with barely 24 hours’ notice. Seeing that I was travelling from Florida it was a very bad situation to find ourselves in.I looked and found this Moose Creek unit and booked it. Not knowing what to expect as we took the only thing around. Let me just say that this was the best last minute "get me out of a bind" decision I have made this year. The unit was immaculate, spotlessly clean, spacious and quiet... as quiet as you can be next to an Air Force base. If you know Salcha you will know what I mean. We were in town to visit family and have already sent this units information to all our family and friends with instruction to “book this first”.Its proximity to shopping and North Pole is excellent, and Fairbanks is only 30 minutes away. I would highly recommend this unit and will be booking for all my future trips to Salcha."
"Wow, this place is so cool! The details and effort they put in are amazing. I'll definitely be back! I'm not sure about using VRBO again, though. Luckily, the host was super accommodating, and our stay was perfect. Thanks!"
"I was hesitant to stay in a dry cabin, but we extended our trip and all "regular" cabins were already booked. Brenda is a super host, making sure we were comfortable and had all we needed. We could see the Northern Lights right outside the cabin or even by looking out the large window inside the cabin. Would definitely stay again!"
"We had an awesome stay at this cabin, it is on a beautiful property and is centrally located between Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs.We also had a great view at the Northern Lights! Would definitely recommend staying at this property!"
