My husband and I wanted to see the Northern lights...but perhaps we didn't realize how cold it would be in late December: -40! We arrived at the Taste of Alaska Lodge after an easy 15 minute drive from center of Fairbanks. Kory met us at the "annex" cabin..showed us how to work the heat, lights, and where a path outside...

2 couples decide they should visit Fairbanks to see the Aurora. They call one B&B who never responds. They call A Taste of Alaska and a real person (Cory) answers the phone...so began our Alaskan adventure. This lodge and cottage combination has it all! First all the buildings are log homes built by Cory's parents and grandparents. This is Alaska-... More

The location was close enough to town to visit Fairbanks, but far enough away to be out of the city. We stayed in the two bedroom cabin. We really enjoyed ourselves ! WE SAW THE AURORA !!! The last night before we left. We were outside from approx 3 am until sunrise, there were several dramatic "curtains of light" &... More

This is a beautiful location about 15-20 minutes outside of Fairbanks. We stay in the Log House, which is a 2-BR cabin located on the property. The views were absolutely spectacular. On one day, we could see Mt. McKinley from our porch. The cabin is well-appointed and comfortable, though the layout isn't ideal. The bedrooms are on the bottom floor,... More

We were booked to stay in the ‘A Taste of Alaska’ lodge. We were excited about the stay given the great reviews about the lodge. Unfortunately, we arrived late as we were driving in from Denali National Park. We informed the staff about the delay in advance and were told someone would be there to greet us. When we arrived...

I had been backpacking in Gates of the Arctic, and I had not made any reservations to stay in Fairbanks because my return date was not certain, (the weather can be very variable at Gates of the Arctic and the bush pilots cannot guarantee that they will be able to pick you up at an exact time). I had mistakenly... More

Our hosts were more than gracious, they were outstanding. My husband & I were both injured at the time we checked in. He had fallen and slashed open his hand resulting in about a dozen stitches & I (found out much later) had broken my ribs. Without even knowing how bad off we both were, Cory, the owner, let us...

For our last 3 nights in Alaska, we wanted a place where we could get peace & quiet that would give us the best chance to see the Northern Lights. While the weather didn't cooperate for the lights, we had an amazing experience at the Taste Of Alaska. We stayed in "The Annex", which is basically a one bedroom cabin... More
