"The internet is so slow it’s unusable, and the house is very run-down. Since this is such a famous tourist spot in Fairbanks, couldn’t they at least get the basics right? At the very least they should provide a decent living experience."

"This cabin was an absolutely perfect get away. Just far enough outside of Fairbanks to feel the peaceful solitude. We had unseasonable clouds and rain (September) that to El Niño, but still caught a night of aurora. We would absolutely stay here again!"
