Die Unterkunft ist ein perfekter Ort um die Polarlichter zu sehen. Das Personal ist absolut freundlich und hilfsbereit und bieten sogar an, jemanden Nachts zu wecken um die Polarlichter zu sehen, wenn das gewünscht wird. Die Lage der Lodge etwas außerhalb von Fairbanks und auf dem Berg ist hervorragend und selbst wenn man in Fairbanks nichts sieht, ist der Blick von der Lodge auf die Polarlichter, wenn sie da sind, spitze! Die freistehenden Hütten sind nochmals besonders toll, da man sehr viel Platz hat und eine voll ausgestattete Küche zur Verfügung steht. Selbst bei -40 Grad Celsius war es in der Hütte mollig warm und beim Nordlichterschauen Nachts um 02:00 Uhr wurde ich herzlichst von den Eigentümern mit Kaffee und Kakao versorgt, damit ich mich aufwärmen konnte für die nächste Runde. Absolut zu empfehlen - vom Service, der Freundlichkeit bis hin zur Lage und der Ausstattung der Lodge! Alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Jederzeit wieder!

Wonderful experience

We had a wonderful time at mt aurora lodge. Kate and Jeff are hospitable and knowledgeable about aurora timing and woke us up immediately when the aurora showed up during the night. Seeing the northern light is breathtaking experience! Although the level is 2, we can clearly see the northern light due to clear and dark sky. Breakfast has Muffin, toast, egg, beacon, juice, milk. They also provide cereal, hot/cold water, hot chocolate, microwave, fridge in the lobby. WiFi in the lobby is good. $10 discount per person for going to ski land. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to view northern light and have fun in Fairbanks!

The owner of the cabin was very nice, there was a free breakfast, woke us up to watch the aurora and taught us how to take pictures. It was so worth it.

The owner got involved with all the lodgers, waking them when he thought we could see the Northern Lights. (I missed them, regrettably, due to cloud cover but I welcomed the rain, since most areas I visited were affected by wildfires.) The breakfast was good, the area was scenic, the air was clear, the staff friendly and helpful.

Nice b&b

A cool rustic lodge (believe me, the inside is way cuter than the outside). Very good breakfast & comfortable beds. We saw faint aurora two days in a row in late August (because it’s fairly early in the aurora season). The only downside is that the rooms are not very soundproof.

The owners are super nice. We loved the lodge. It is a few miles outside of Fairbanks but not too long of a drive. It’s close to the Gild Dredge 8 which we highly recommend as an activity. We would highly recommend this place to stay!

The building was quite unique as an old mining lodge. The staff was wonderful and enjoyed visiting with customers. The home cooked breakfast was delicious. Would love to come back to see the Aurora lights
