About this property

Property near Pioneer Park, Chena River, and the Carlson Center.

2135 Hilton Avenue Vrbo is on the backside of the duplex. It needs to be accessed from the alley between Hilton Avenue and the Airport Way frontage road via Moore Street. When you turn on Moore Street you will see Allstate on your right. At the end of the parking lot, turn right on the alley and pass the log cabin and garage on the left. Turn left into the Vrbo parking lot. The back of the Vrbo duplex is at the end of this parking lot. The door on the left side is the access to the Vrbo unit. The deck has access to the upstairs tennants unit so don't use the deck.. SEE THE MAP that was emailed and sent to you via Vrbo messages.

A newly remodeled comfortable one bedroom apartment in a great location. This is the downstairs unit of a duplex apartment. Fully furnished and remodeled with a fully equipped kitchen, full size refrigerator-freezer. Microwave, toaster, coffee maker, 6 qt. Instant Pot, spices, starter coffee and tea. Bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Washer and dryer included with starter soap. Large comfortable living room with leather couches. Relaxing, with a new 43inch smart TV and BluRay DVD player and assorted DVDs. Spacious master bedroom with queen and walk in closet sleeps 2. Queen sofa-bed in the living room also sleeps 2. Large leather sofa can also sleep a fifth small person. There is a cot in the bedroom closet partially assembled. You can use this cot,and will need to affix one of the end braces. There is a 3 inch pipe to leverage the bar onto the cot frame. Be careful with your fingers! The cot won't fit in the closet if it is fully assembled.



I want to emphazise that the the Northern Lights are predicted to peak in 2025. 2021 was an exceptional year and so far 2022 has had some incredible Auroras. Generally, the peak season begins August 20-April 15. Realize that the earlier and later in the season, the darkness is less, so you generally have less of a window to view the lights. It is warmer, but your viewing period is shorter. I was just above the arctic circle for a week (Sept 2-11) and had 2 phenomenal evenings of lights viewing 4 hours and 2 hours. If you want to have a good opportunity to view the lights, check out the UAF Geophysical Aurora Forecast which can help predict peak times to have success. That being said, I have had excellent viewing with a 2 kp level. This year there have been a number of days with a 6 kp level which is extraordinary.. If you are interested in viewing or photographing the lights, let me know what you are interested in and I will do my best to help. https://www.gi.alaska.edu/monitors/aurora-forecast

Great place to stay in Fairbanks!
The home is located right next to pioneer park & close to downtown. There are few grocery stores within few mins drive. Also most of the well-known aurora viewing points in Fairbanks area are within an hour drive. If you are lucky, might be able to watch them right outside the home. We found it perfect for short or longer stays. Brian is one of the best host we have ever seen. He was fast in responding to our queries and provided us with many good recommendations & suggestions to explore around. We will definitely be staying here in case we are visiting Fairbanks again.

Stay in March
Everything about staying here was super nice! The property is exactly like described and made our stay in Fairbanks amazing. It’s located really close to practically everything and almost anything we wanted to do was within 10 minutes. Two people slept in the bed and one on the couch and none of us had any complaints about comfortability. I’m not sure if it’s due to when we stayed there but this house ended up being cheaper than booking a hotel, which was a major plus as we really felt like we had our own space. Overall staying there was an incredible option and the owner was extremely nice and helped make our staff that much better!

Excellent location for exploring Fairbanks and surrounding area
This apartment was wonderful and we enjoyed availing ourselves of the fully stocked kitchen to make our own meals, including trout we caught in nearby lakes. The upstairs neighbor who lives there full time was friendly and approachable but not overbearing. Brian, the owner, was amazing and responsive, even providing suggestions on activities and places to check out. Walking distance to the park and other downtown attractions. Wonderful stay.

Alaskan resident since 1981. Actively practicing general dentistry. Avid fisherman, hunter, boater, and familiar with many outdoor activities. Recently, began taking photos of the Northern Lights and am willing to share the knowledge I have acquired with interested photographers. I have many contacts in Fairbanks and Alaska and can give advice on particular adventures that you are interested in.

Special Note: The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) are predicted to peak in 2025. They were excellent last year and this year even better so far! Don't miss this unique opportunity to view and or photograph this amazing phenomenom. Also, the Alaskan Yukon Quest will begin in Fairbanks on February 4th in downtown Fairbanks at 11 am.
