Alaska Adventure Properties — Attraction in Alaska

We arrived in Fairbanks during an "unprecicided amount of snow fall" and had an Airbnb booked and ready for us upon arrival. Problem is that rental cars don't come with studded tires here, just all weather, which under normal circumstances probably would have been fine, but the Airbnb was up the hill and our little Equinox was unable to make the climb.

CUE PANIC!!!

It was starting to get dark (cause ya know, Alaska in winter) and we were getting worried about options. I did a search for a comparable space that was accessible and came across Alaska Adventure Properties, more specially Governor's House. It was available, very fairly priced per night, and best of all, off a main, flat road. We booked it and I was able to find Devin's number listed on their website to write out booking was accepted for that evening. Devin answered on the first ring, was so kind and gave me great information about the house and how to get there.

We arrived after a very long and stressful day to find a beautiful, well cared for home that backs onto the river. It was so spacious, our jaws dropped at the kitchen (especially that stove! I'll be dreaming about that forever now). So many books and crannies for reading, chatting, watching the Northern Lights.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was warm (sometimes too warm, but honestly that's probably my only complaint about the home, but they did have lots of fans scattered around so we had those running pretty constantly as we couldn't figure out how to turn the temperature down), central to Fairbanks and North Pole, and very easy to get in and out of. They sent a plow on Friday and cleared the whole drive making it even easier, and has snow shovels around the house to we made a few pathways.

They have a few railroad cars on the property that look like they're going to be incredible rental spaces once renovations are completed, I've already bookmarked their page and will be the first place in check out of we find ourselves in Fairbanks again.

Overall 10/10, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Thank you Devin and team for a...

Absolutely stunning!! This little A-frame cabin on the mountain was perfect for my winter escape into Alaska. I traveled solo as a female and felt perfectly safe in the middle of what feels like no where. The cabin was incredibly cozy, the perfect temperature and fully equipped with everything I needed. The lofted space is gorgeous and exactly what you picture for an Alaskan cabin. I was so comfortable and in total peace. At night, you could see Aurora from bed, but do yourself a favor and go outside. They views were phenomenal all around. I was not expecting to see so many various views and sights based on the other photos but it was breathtaking.

To my total surprise, the steam shower was also a dry sauna. But can be used simultaneously based on your preferences. I was in total heaven. I cooked daily and the kitchen was stocked with all of the cookware I needed. Various traveller's have left basic spices and condiments as well which was lovely.

The roads to get onto the mountain were well maintained in typical snowy fashion, I had a AWD rented Subaru and had zero issues. They even have the electrical hookups for your block heater!

Everything about this stay was lovely, a few locals I spoke with even commented on how amazing the property is and how lucky I was to be staying there. I would absolutely stay here again should I ever find myself in...

More than we expected! From moose sightings on the property, spacious yard, excellent home and space for our big family. Very clean, quick response when needed. Easy check in and check outs. Had everything we needed. Perfect location! Close to gas stations, Walmart, Costco and many more. Don’t forget to grab your coffee and pastries at BackWoods Coffee shop! The best in Fairbanks! Nice neighbors who came out when we had a little trouble driving up the road in snow. Lol… We’re from Hawaii so not much experience driving in snow:) You need a AWD vehicle during winter time forsure. Devin and team were awesome! Mahalo Nui Loa (thank you very much) for taking care of us, as it was our first time in Alaska. Recommendations that Devin gave were great! And to top it all off, we were blessed to see the northern lights 2 nights in a row. Huffman Manor is magical! You wanna make amazing memories? Book this place asap!

Aloha and Mahalo again...
