Perfect Getaway

The property is just like the listing. Very clean and well taken care of. There is tons of space for everyone to spread out. Loved that we were able to see the Northern Lights from the yard during our visit. Loved that we weren't in the middle of the city but only 15ish minutes for everywhere we wanted to go in town. Appreciated some snacks and treats provided. The host is very communicative and easy to reach when needed. Would highly recommend people stay here. Would stay here again.

Wonderful Peaceful Homey Location

Grandma Julie’s Getaway was perfect for our week. First of all, Becky was a wonderful host. Her attention to details was the best that we have experienced in all of our many VRBO stays. The home is not fancy but, was extraordinary clean and cozy. We only used one bedroom and found it very comfortable. All bedrooms have a queen sized bed, which was perfect for us. Becky had a coffee/tea/cocoa bar that exceeded our expectations. There were plenty of spices and other basic cooking needs and some staples. There was plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, and cookware. The bathroom had nice shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There were countless fluffy white towels and wash cloths. The living room had several house plants and big windows where we watched birds feeding at the bird feeders. Fresh flowers were in a vase on the dining table. There was an extension cord, snow shovels, snow sled, and ice melt available for the cold and snowy days. Exterior lights were very bright and welcoming when arriving in the dark. The neighborhood was quiet and only a few cars went by on any given day. We felt like we were further out of town than we really were. It was only 10-15 minutes to Fairbanks. Home is only about 2 miles from the main highway. Side road to the house was fairly snow and ice free. We had no issues with a 4x4 truck. I would absolutely stay here again. One minor thing was we unknowingly failed to lock the door. Perhaps add door lock instructions to documents.

Best Ever Place to Stay!!

From the time we got there until the time we left Fairbanks we felt very at home in this lovely place in the woods. Becky was very attentive even coming to check on us after we got stuck in the snow near the cabin. (Be sure you get a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the winter and don’t let the car rental agencies tell you otherwise!) The home was beautifully decorated and cozy with a wood burning stove, close to town but in the middle of a gorgeous forest with gorgeous views from the windows and balcony. Everything you could want was supplied, treats when we got there and hardly had to buy anything but food. Definitely would love to come back in the near future. Becky was the supreme hostess!!

Wilderness Revitalize

This property was just what I needed. All the touring and city noises were getting depressing. To stay at Becky's place in a country setting was beneficial. Great place, close to Fairbanks but out of town where you can just enjoy nature. All around great place, extremely clean and a very accommodating host.
