About this property

Norrsken View - Mountains - Deck - Aurora - Family Friendly - Wifi - Laundry

Welcome to Norrsken View! Perched high above Fairbanks, our home offers stellar views of Denali, the Alaska Range, and unobstructed view of the "norrsken" (Swedish for northern lights) on clear nights. Just 20 minutes from town and above the ice fog, it’s close enough to explore all that Fairbanks has to offer, but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of interior Alaska. With a washer/dryer, full kitchen, fire pit, WiFi, and kid friendly amenities, there is something for everyone to love!

Large south-facing windows, wrap-around outdoor deck, and secluded 2 story covered porch allow you to experience the beauty of the country regardless of weather conditions. Only two steps into the house, an easily accessible bedroom and full bathroom with walk-in-shower will accommodate guests with restricted mobility. The dining room, fully equipped kitchen, coffee bar, and adjoining living room complete the lower level.

An Alaskan log staircase takes you to the upper level common area, good for groups, watching TV, or sleeping. There is a master bedroom, a queen over twin bunk room, a laundry room with washer/dryer, and full bathroom with tub. From the common area there is access to the covered porch with a summer sitting area to experience the breath-taking views of Fairbanks, the Tanana valley, Alaska range, and Denali.

Outside a wrap-around porch with summer fire-pit and patio furniture overlooks the yard, with hiking/biking/cross country skiing trails just a few minutes away.

On a side note: for groups that don't require as much space and want an even more exceptional view, we highly recommend the nearby accomodation "Tiny Home on The Dome W/ Hot Tub".
The entire house is available for your use and enjoyment except the wood stove. The outdoor storage buildings are not accessible, but ample parking and outdoor car plugins are provided.

About the host

Hosted by Brent and Leah

Host profile image
Brent and Leah are Midwesterners by birth but have found a home in Fairbank for over 10 years now. Leah is a nurse in the ICU at the local hospital and Brent is a heavy equipment mechanic at a gold mine. They have 3 kids, a black lab, and love taking advantage of the exploring the Alaskan wilderness whenever they have the opportunity!

We love traveling and have had the most memorable experiences abroad because of the random kindness of strangers. We strive to provide an excellent guest experience with everyone who comes through our doors, and share with them a part of what truly makes Alaska "The great Land".

Why they chose this property

Our home is in a small, friendly neighborhood of 13 houses sitting on top of Ester dome, approximately 10 miles out of town. We chose this home because of its seclusion, close proximity to town, and the unbelievable view. We with excellent neighbors so feel free to wave or say hello if you see them out and about!

What makes this property unique

The pictures truly don't do justice to the location. Our home is uniquely positioned for you to take in the mountains, valleys, and rivers of interior Alaska while being just 25 mins from downtown. When you see aurora dance across the sky it's unobstructed by tall trees and light pollution. But what really separates us from other properties is that we are hosts, not just property managers. The person on the other side of the phone/email is a fellow traveler like yourself, who knows how important it is to take care of the guests in their home. We are about hospitality, and we hope you experience that in every aspect of your stay with us.
