Clean and comfortable. Beautiful setting and conveniently located to Fairbanks and North Pole. Nice porch and balcony. Nice little extras in the bath and kitchen. I would recommend, especially for a couple.

Perfect, just as explained in the discrimination. Minutes away from every attraction, and far enough away for peace.Large fridge was a plus.
