About this property

Gilmore House

We are located off of historic Gilmore Trail appx. 10 miles north of Fairbanks. Our cute 3b.r.- 1 bath home can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people and is perfect for anyone who is interested in exploring the Last Frontier at your own pace. We have a large deck located on the 2nd floor and a large front porch, both overlooking the historic Gold filled hills north of town. Great for watching the Northern Lights or enjoying the Midnight Sun! The kitchen has pots & pans, dishes, silverware, baking pans, cake pans etc. and we always provide, with our compliments, a food *'Starter Kit' with things like Bacon & Eggs & OJ plus a variety of condiments, salad dressings, spices, and more, plus some snacks & bottled water. In the freezer there are always a couple of pizzas! *(Gluten /Dairy free options available upon request with advanced notice). So much easier than trying to find a Grocery store before you've even had a chance to get settled in! With a little notice, we can pick you up or drop you off at the Airport or Train Depot. We are Pet friendly & have water & food bowls & a blanket for your fur babies. We live next door, so no matter what time of year you come to Alaska, we are always available should you need anything & we will do our absolute best to make sure you and your family & friends have a great visit! No matter where you choose to stay, whether with us or elsewhere, we hope you have a wonderful time in Alaska!

Super cute place to stay

Great communication with the host. Laura offered recommendations for activities and restaurants prior to our visit. The home is super cute and was comfortable for 4 adults. I enjoyed all of the old pictures and antiques. Location was very convenient for all of our activities. I would definitely recommend and would stay again. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of snacks and breakfast items that were available to us as our flight arrived in the middle of the night.

A great place with fantastic hosts!

The house is fantastic decorated with one of a kind items from Alaska. Laura and Martin are the most amazing hosts ever and were always available for questions. They had groceries for us at our arrival. We saw the northern lights right from the house! The house was always warm and cozy, even when it was beyond freezing outside. For potential future guests - the stairs inside are kind of steep and narrow. They didn’t bother us at all, but if you have mobility concerns, they might be a challenge. We can’t wait to return to this property and reunite with our fantastic hosts!!Thank you Laura and Martin!

Fabulous Fairbanks at the Gilmore House!

Laura and Martin were amazing hosts! They even picked us up at the train station and got us to our rental car - saved us a bunch of $. Gilmore house is a warm and welcoming home full of historical artifacts. This is definitely a place to visit and stay again. A wonderful location to see the Northern Lights. I can't recommend them highly enough - book it!

Cosy cabin in a beautiful area

We had a great time staying in the Gilmore house, we stayed with our family and really enjoyed our time. The house is really cosy and warm, clean and quiet, you feel you are in the woods. Laura and Martin were fantastic hosts, they left all the amenities for us to enjoy and relax. They even let us know every time the Aurora's were out. Thank you Laura and Martin!!

Beyond magical

We came on a lark in hopes of seeing northern lights. We discovered an amazing place, with hands down the very best hosts (and humans) you could even imagine. The house is perfect. Laura and Martin are incredibly kind and thoughtful. They took care of everything we could have imagined, called and texted when the lights came out and gave amazing recommendations for things to do in the area. We can’t wait to come back. ❤️

Merritt extended family

A group of my family from the midwest (IL, KY and TN) traveled to Fairbanks for a vacation. We chose Sept to try to see the Northern Lights while there. Our host was extremely helpful both in planning the trip while we were there. Laura is amazing and we loved the beautiful and well decorated house where we could see the Aurora from our lodging. Strongly recommend it.

Great place to decompress

The Gilmore House is so quaint and cute with all of the authentic furnishings with notes sharing a little bit about each one. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. A wondeful place to decompress and relax. Laura stopped over to make sure everything was okay and was nice enough to share some farm fresh eggs with us which made some very delicious breakfast. Definitely would stay again the next time we're in Valdez.
