My wife and I traveled to Fairbanks to see the aurora borealis. We stayed with Jo and Dale based on the great reviews on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed! We were warmly greeted (it was –40F outside) and taken care of our entire stay.
We stayed in the Spa Room which was nicely appointed with an adjustable king-size bed and large bathroom with a great tub and huge shower. The huge windows provided wonderful views of sunrise over Fairbanks, the Alaskan Mountain range (even Mt McKinley!), and the aurora!
Jo was wonderful – cooking homemade breakfasts, advising us on sights and directions, preparing us for the hot springs, and providing aurora wake-up calls. Dale provided great stories of the area and his own Alaskan experiences. Our stay was like visiting good friends – it was truly enjoyable.
We came to see the aurora and Jo made sure we had a good view of it every night of our stay. We viewed it in the many large windows throughout the house as well as outside in the bitter, yet exhilarating, cold.
Thanks Jo and Dale for a great experience! We will definitely return.
