About this property

The Aurora House (Fairbanks, AK)

Welcome to The Aurora, an epic stay where the Northern Lights are visible on just about every clear night from September through April. During the summer months, watch the midnight sun set right in front of your living room window.

Nestled on a mountain 20 minutes from Fairbanks and away from all light pollution, The Aurora is the perfect place to unwind and experience the beauty of Alaska.

"Wow! The views from this place are amazing and the inside looks brand new!" -Marie, May 2023

"The location of this place was awesome for us. Just far enough out of town that it was quiet and the light pollution was way down. It was close enough to Fairbanks though that we could run into town for anything we wanted." -Trenton
