Please, with the way flights have been cancelled or changed at the last moment, and other factors which come up beyond your control. we strongly suggest that you buy travelers insurance in order to secure your funds, in case of a last minute cancellation. We have been very gracious over the last 2 years and have given refunds when we were not required to, but we cannot do this any longer. We are holding to a firm cancellation policy in the future.

A well-crafted apartment in the quiet & solace of surrounding woods, yet within 8 to 10 minutes drive from grocery stores, or airport, and only 3 miles from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. This is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath luxury suite of rooms, private & perfect for 4 people if they are 2 couples or a family. It is the whole Separate ground floor of the house, 800 sq ft. This property is at the same location as one other smaller apartment suite, # 1523206, on the same 3 acres of property in the other house. In addition, this is a fantastic location to see the auroras, when they are active, as they arc right over the property, when it is clear out and the aurora activity is moderate. We will make sure your stay is very comfortable, and provide you with the information you need, in order to book activities or tour around town and the area.

January visit.
Carol’s property was clean and very well stocked. We visited in January with plenty of snow on the roads. Carol and Les kept the property plowed and easy to navigate. Inside, there were plenty of extra blankets, quality kitchen utensils for cooking and even extra parkas if your group needed them. When we return to Fairbanks we plan to stay with Carol again.

A slice of heaven!
Carol and Les were fantastic hosts. They gave us access to the on site cameras to help us spot the active Auroras. We were also given local knowledge of the best activities. This property is located on the edge of town, away from the city light pollution, which makes it great to view the Auroras. It is also extremely quiet and peaceful. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Fairbanks.

Great place
We couldn’t have asked for a better host and place to stay. Carol was fabulous and gave us great recommendations of places to go. The cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Smallwood

Host profile image
Les & Carol Smallwood, have been residents in Fairbanks, Alaska, for over 34 years. This home you'd be staying at has been built by Les. The year purchased just indicates the year we purchased the piece of land it sits on. Located among aspen and spruce trees, the apartment suite is on the lower level and is newly remodeled. We have one dog (friendly, once she meets you). We love our location and privacy and hope you'll consider staying with us. We look forward to making your stay memorable.

Why they chose this property

Our place is Not located in Ester, it is located only 3 miles from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, (UAF) on the West side of town in Fairbanks. This property is a total of 3 acres that was purchased by Les Smallwood in 1991, and then he began the process of clearing the woods and building the house you see today on it. We picked this part of town because it is near the University, doesn't have a lot of commercial business cluttering and hiding the natural beauty of the area, it is private and quiet, and it is still very close and convenient to everything in town. It is also located within the best schools' districts in the city, ensuring that our kids would go to the best public schools available.

What makes this property unique

https://youtu.be/D6KEo664LW4



Living with woods all around means privacy, and that you may get visits from the local moose. The air is fresh, and the water tastes good right out of the faucet, no filtering needed. If you are here in the Summer, the days are long and beautiful. In the Winter, the auroras are clear and strong, without any city light pollution.
VIDEO of the AURORAS during an exceptional evening on Sept 28, 2017, by my husband, Les Smallwood, looking towards the house, RIGHT OVER THE VRBO. Of course, the auroras raged way longer than the short video represented here. It is typical when there is a night of high activity, on clear nights that the auroras can be seen right outside the door, if you just walk out and look up. Sometimes you have to look North, but most of the time, they arc right over the house. Enjoy this short video.
