About the host

Hosted by Carol Smallwood

Host profile image
Les & Carol Smallwood, have been residents in Fairbanks, Alaska, for over 34 years. The home you'd be staying in has been built by Les. The year purchased just indicates the year we purchased the piece of land it sits on. Located among aspen and spruce trees, the Bungalow suite is on the ground level on the whole right side of the first building on the property. The other side of the building houses our storage area, fully separate. We have one dog (friendly and will not bother you). We love our location and privacy and hope you'll consider staying with us, we enjoying telling visitors about the different unique best places in Fairbanks. We look forward to making your stay memorable.

Why they chose this property

Our place is Not located in Ester, it is located only 3 miles from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, (UAF) on the West side of town in Fairbanks. This property is a total of 2.5 acres that was purchased by Les Smallwood in 1991, and then he began the process of clearing the woods and building the house you see today on it. We picked this part of town because it is near the University, doesn't have a lot of commercial business cluttering and hiding the natural beauty of the area, it is private and quiet, and it is still very close and convenient to everything in town. It is also located within the best schools' districts in the city, ensuring that our kids would go to the best public schools available.

What makes this property unique

Living with woods all around means privacy, and that you may get visits from the local moose. The air is fresh, and the water tastes good right out of the faucet, no filtering needed. If you are here in the Summer, the days are long and beautiful. In the Winter, the auroras are clear and strong, without any city light pollution.
VIDEO of the AURORAS during an exceptional evening on Sept 28, 2017, by my husband, Les Smallwood, looking towards the house, RIGHT OVER THE VRBO. Of course, the auroras raged way longer than the short video represented here. It is typical when there is a night of high activity, on clear nights that the auroras can be seen right outside the door, if you just walk out and look up. Sometimes you have to look North, but Most of the time, they arc right over the house. It's almost as if we picked the spot for the house according to the natural line of the auroras.
