Golden North Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I will definitely stay here again. The staff was so nice the girl who. Checked me in was so sweet and kind and has great taste in boots. I was upgraded and my room was really nice. The walls are very thin and you have to turn the heat on in the bathroom but it was a great stay."

Cozy two bedroom log cabin on the Chena River near town.

10/10 Excellent

"We went to Fairbanks to view the Northern Lights. The property is beautiful, and big enough to view the lights at the horizon and overhead. Also, the cabin has large windows where we could view the lights inside, and not freeze. I recommend this property for Northern Lights viewing."

"I love the property and the history that hangs on the walls. This is a real story of life in Alaska lived to the fullest. The host is a true Alaskan that has seen many cold winters, hardships and the delightful rewards of sticking with it. I lived fifteen years in Fairbanks so it gives me the insights of what a life in Alaska is all about."

"Great place to stay"

Large Penthouse With King Canopy Bed

8/10 Good

"If interior space had a rating, it would be a 10! It seemed like we were staying in a furnished apartment. The hostess is super nice! The checkin process was somewhat of a puzzle. And the permanent male tennants sometimes hung around outside. The dirt parking lot and scattered buildings with different hotel names seemed a little weird."
