Yes, there are bikes, but they're trikes
This place is beautiful, by far the nicest place we stayed in Alaska, with nice decor and abundant light, and int eh first week of September, golden light glinting off the birches outside. Very nice touches. The bikes that are mentioned in the subheadline and nowhere else in the ad *do* exist (Vacasa foolishly told me 2x that "they're not in the amenity list" when I was trying to get more details). They are two adult-sized tricycles. They felt a bit treacherous to ride since we weren't used to them. They are available, though, and it was a great perk of this place to have wheels to get around downtown! Fairbanks is very bike-able.

Nice place to stay in Fairbanks
Host reached out ahead of trip, answered questions and was very responsive throughout stay. Nice perk to have the bikes available and ride around town. Loved the comfy bed and mattress warmer. Great place!

Fairbanks Cozy Retreat
The property was very cozy and very conveniently located to downtown Fairbanks. The property also had a very nice balcony that faced southward with lots of sun.

This place is a 5 star but…
Loved this place and would stay again! Great location, it was very clean, & the hosts were very nice. Unfortunately we were there when it was crazy hot and the A/C had a hard time chilling the large area (should not be a problem for anyone else!). Also the screen didn’t shut completely so we were unsure on insects coming in if we left the screen open for cooler night time air. But we loved the place, cleanliness, and location.

Midnight Sun Short Weekend
This wonderful listing is walking distance to many of the attractions in Fairbanks, from downtown to the local baseball diamond where we watched the Midnight Sun game. The host, Emily, was welcoming and helpful. The Alaska specialities on arrival was a sweet touch and helped to make us feel at home. The property is well maintained, clean, quiet, and comfortable. I hope we get the chance to return someday in the future!

Short stay. Nice clean and comfortable
We were in Fairbanks for a very short stay. This unit was very nice, very much as advertised. Had a delightful dinner at Soba, a Moldovan restaurant downtown. The host was very responsive to our questions.

We truly enjoyed our stay. On a Main Street, but surprisingly quiet for these country folks. The spiral stairs to the studio were difficult with our small luggage. Great place otherwise.

Highly recommended! Beautiful Rental!
The location for one was exactly where we needed it to be! You will be close to the Downtown area so close to food locations, gas stations etc. The rental is truly set up so beautifully. It was top tier in my opinion. Sometimes you show up to a space and it just isn’t what you expected, often way smaller. This was NOT one of those rentals. You have so much breathing room and it gives you the most warming home felt stay. Emily is awesome! She will make sure to respond when needed and made us feel so welcome. Thank you so much! I miss it already.

Cozy Comforts
Excellent place to stay, close to downtown! It was clean and quiet. The owner stayed in contact, provided Alaskana refreshments upon arrival, and was a delight. The only access is a spiral staircase, which might pose problematic for guests with lots of luggage or with health impairments. We enjoyed the A/C--a rare find in AK!

Perfect place
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was absolutely perfect for my husband and I. Cute area to watch TV, read next to the "fireplace", or just relax and look out the huge windows. Great location, outside of town feel but close to everything, even walking distance away from places. Restaurants, groceries, gas stations. Emily made everything so easy, from check in to check out. We even had the chance to chat with her mom(lives downstairs) about places to see, about the area, and their store which had absolutely beautiful hand made bowls. We will definitely be back to stay because we fell in LOVE with Fairbanks. And now I think I convinced my husband to make the move from Minnesota to here!
