Moose Tracks B & B — Hotel in Alaska

Clean, comfortable, half the price of what was available because it feels a bit like a youth hostel or staying at Grandma's house for Christmas in that there is a shared bathroom and common room with the 3 other guests. This was not an issue for us as they were very clean and respectful. If sharing a tub and shower with a stranger is out of your comfort zone, there are cleaning supplies at hand. I would also remind folks that the "private" bathrooms at regular hotels are used by strangers just before they rent the room, and cleaning people don't usually switch rags between rooms... Here at the Moose, everything was cleaned and sanitized daily and meticulously by the owner. They care, and we knew we were in good hands. Individual keys to room plus code access to front (so my daughter and I felt safe here,) DVDs for free check-out while we stayed, decent Wi-Fi, sparkling bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, microwave, fridge - all shared, but who cares. We could never have afforded it...

We rented this place out on Airbnb for 4 nights. Beautiful place with three bedrooms and an outdoor hot tub. We came in the winter where the average temperature was -20 deg F and had no issue getting out of the hot tub. It’s a short 5 second run back into the house from the hot tub through the snow. We loved it here! The beds were super comfy and the living room was spacious. The heated floors were amazing also. The host was super nice and helpful. She noticed that our car was not plugged in overnight and got us an extension cord and plugged it in for us so it wouldn’t die. We really appreciated that. Our only minor inconvenience is that the shower water does not get hot, only warm. This place is a short 10 minute drive into Fairbanks and centrally located to many great restaurants in Fairbanks or North Pole. Overall we would definitely rent here again and recommend it to anyone looking for an Arctic getaway. The northern lights from the backyard...

I wish I had posted a review sooner... great location (isolated but close enough to important resources), excellent location for viewing the Northern Lights, and they actually contacted us directly to let us know that they were happening--they didn't want us to miss out on anything as first-time...
