About this property

Midnight Sun Fairbanks Cabin - Private Heated Dome

Aurora is a private 3 acre retreat designed to deliver a true Alaska experience from the moment you arrive. Located just 8 miles from the airport.

Every detail of this stay has been intentionally built around what we would want if we were visiting Alaska for the first time after years of dreaming, watching documentaries, and studying the landscape. This is not just a place to stay. Aurora is a fully curated experience.

The property features a heated outdoor Aurora dome for immersive night sky viewing, along with a cozy game and movie room designed for relaxed evenings after a day of exploring.

Your stay includes a thoughtfully crafted 5 day Alaska focused meal plan with recipes built around local ingredients. You will also have access to a custom Aurora hot cocoa recipe, our signature Aurora Glow cocktail, and complete daily shopping lists to make everything simple and enjoyable.

Our guidebook is built to remove guesswork. It covers every season, major events, and lesser known local spots, with both self guided options and curated experiences clearly laid out so you can explore at your own pace.

Sleeping arrangements are designed for comfort and flexibility. The primary bedroom is a loft suite accessed by a custom spiral staircase, featuring a king bed, a private loveseat, and a dedicated workspace. The main floor bedroom includes a full bed that works well for a solo guest, kids, or a cozy couple. The daylight basement entertainment room includes a cloud style sofa that converts into a queen bed, with a full bathroom located just across the hallway.

This is a place to slow down, experience Alaska intentionally, and enjoy a setting that has been carefully designed from start to finish.

Please review House Rules prior to booking.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Hanson

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Chris & Lisa, creators of Jade and Aurora.

We design spaces for comfort, relaxation, and connection. What began as a love for mountain retreats has grown into cabins that feel meaningful, welcoming, and inspiring.

Aurora - in Fairbanks was born from a lifelong fascination with Alaska and the Northern Lights. We appreciate this may be a once-in-a-lifetime trip for you, and we honor that in every thoughtful detail.

Why they chose this property

Aurora sits on China Ridge above the Fairbanks valley's winter fog inversion layer. That means clearer skies for Northern Lights, with significantly cleaner air than most Fairbanks properties. This also means winter temperatures average 20 degrees warmer than the valley floor. And when EPA burn regulations cancel wood fires down in the city you can still enjoy a cozy fire in the pellet stove up here.

Better views. Warmer temps. Cleaner air - Aurora delivers all three

What makes this property unique

Aurora sits on China Ridge above the Fairbanks valley's winter fog inversion layer. Cleaner air, Clearer skies, with winter temperatures that average 20 degrees warmer than the valley floor below.

The heated outdoor dome is the crown jewel. A fully enclosed dome that becomes your midnight sun lounge in summer and a cozy Aurora lounge in winter.

Your stay includes a 5-day Alaska-focused meal plan with recipes and shopping lists, including our signature Aurora Glow cocktail, Aurora hot cocoa recipe, along with a comprehensive seasonal guidebook covering every local event and hidden gem.

This is not just a place to sleep between activities. It is a fully curated Alaska experience built for guests who have been dreaming about an Alaska experience their whole lives.
