Delightful Stay at Chena Riverhouse South Suite

This lovely home was the perfect home base for our week in Fairbanks. It was perfectly located near the start of the 2025 Iditarod, area dogsledding, area aurora watching, and near the 2025 world ice art sculpture championships.

Short stay in Fairbanks

Wonderful property on the river in Fairbanks. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. Owners left "treats" for us at check in that were much appreciated. We loved sitting on the lanai with wine looking at the river. The beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Our Alaska Vacation

Before starting our Alaska Land Cruise with Princess, we went to Fairbanks early and stayed here. This house is well-maintained and highly recommended! It was my wife and I, my daughter and her two children and the other grandparents. Plenty of room and very close to all to do in Fairbanks! Enjoyed our stay before our cruise! Kids enjoyed the games and puzzles! Thanks!

Lovely immaculate home. Pretty overlooking Chema River.

Lovely home. Well stocked including extras for snacks and good coffee! Good communication with Tera. Quiet home. Surrounding neighborhood as you drive in and house next door a bit aged; but home is lovely inside. Great location to airport for a quick drive for early departures. Upstairs Master suite is perfect and has nice river view. Two other bedrooms are in the lowest basement area and share a bathroom. These two bedrooms have a window with no view. Thanks!

Peaceful location, but needs a thorough cleaning.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here but this place needs a good cleaning. The river was very quiet and peaceful and the neighborhood is quiet. On the surface, it looked clean until we started looking around a little closer. The shower upstairs was so filthy that it was almost unusable. I used it once and then showered downstairs, which was a little cleaner. There was this pink mildew all over the bottom of the shower that easily wiped off when i tested a corner of it with a wash cloth, but I didn't feel like I should have to clean the shower myself. There were also long hairs on the fold-out mattress on the closet. I considered contacting the property owner who is prompt and responsive, but our trip was action-packed enough and was only a couple days that it didn't seem worth it. The grill was also unusable. It doesn't look like it has been cleaned in a year. There was a grill brush there, but it was old and so coated with grease that we couldn't even use it. This was disappointing, since we bought food to grill BEFORE looking at the condition of the grill. The rest of the house was clean and the appliances are nice and new. The beds were comfortable and the place sleeps so many people.

We wish we could have stayed longer. Loved the view of the Chena River from the back porch. The floor downstairs was a little cold, but once we turned on the heat, all was well. After a long day's travel it was nice to have some snacks available when we arrived and as a quick hold-me-over for breakfast.

Perfect spot for rest!

Our family came in on a 2:40am flight and took the short drive to Teras home. After sleeping in I was very pleased that coffee is stocked in the home along with sugar :) Plus she had candy and other snacks available too! The beds were very comfortable and the LR/Kitchen area was also a great spot to lounge and talk. We talked about coming back when we can see the Northern Lights. This is an easy and great place to stay!

great spot and great deck on the river

Just know when it states air conditioning, that isn't for the entire unit, just the master suite--a bit confusing, and YES, it does get hot there. the lower bedrooms are cooler but the main living area can be uncomfortable, especially if you are cooking. we did not spend lots of time there, so it was tolerable, if annoying. otherwise a great spot--just communicate the details a bit better, thanks
