On most of our recent three-week trip through Alaska, my wife and I drove a rented car and stayed in B & B's. Our northernmost stop was Fairbanks, where we stayed at "A Moose in the Garden," which I had picked out for its online description. Initially concerned that it was a few miles from town, we soon realized that the location was perfect, up on a hill in a quiet area, with (on a clear day) a view of Denali 100 miles away. The drive into town was simple. Kathy could not have been more warm and welcoming. In all B & B's you feel that you are in someone's home. Here we felt like family. We stayed upstairs in the Northern Lights room, a wonderful open space in this impressive log home. All the comforts of home. (More than in ours - the room includes a Jacuzzi!) Breakfasts were, needless to say, varied and delicious, served family style. I would certainly recommend "A Moose in the Garden" to anyone looking for a welcoming B & B in Fairbanks.

Our group of six drove from central Florida to Fairbanks and stayed at this delightful three story log cabin home in the outskirts of Fairbanks. The accomodations were all we had expected and more. The view of Mount McKinley from the back deck on the main floor was spectacular. The homemade breakfasts served by our hostess were delicious and varied. Our host and hostess (Jeff and Kathy) who are longtime residents of Fairbanks were very knowledgeable about places to visit and see in the area and provided us with directions and valuable recommendations. Our five days and four nights in Fairbanks were most enjoyable and gave us memories that we will cherish forever.

Found A Moose in the Garden B&B on the internet. Never had stayed at a B&B before, so was a little hesitant, but called and talked to Kathy at length, and we were like old friends. She kept me updated on things happening around fairbanks before we arrived on June 1st. Her B&B is approximately 12 miles from Fairbanks Alaska, with a perfect view of Mt. McKinley from her deck. (when the mountain shows itself that is) The rooms were very comfortable and very clean. Kathy fixed wonderful breakfasts for us, including her speciality, Moose Muffin Breakfast Casserole. It was so good, we all asked for the recipe to bring home with us.
You won't go wrong with A Moose in the Garden, especially if you want to wake up to birds chirping in the yard and enjoy peace and quiet (which we did). Have already recommended Kathy and Jeff's place to a couple of travelers.

I stayed at the Moose in the Garden B&B in early April 2008, for 8 nights. It is everything 'advertised' + more! The hosts (Kathy and Jeff) are fantastic hosts. I felt welcome there immediately and throughout the entire stay. Breakfast is provided every day (what ever I wanted - they provided). I was also invited to share dinner with them on several occasions, including a family dinner which was a spread like Easter! The views of the Alaska range are fabulous. I saw a moose one morning within a few 100 yards of the house! This is so much better than a hotel. I was in Fairbanks on business on three occasions this winter, and after the first two visits in typical hotels, I will never stay in a hotel again. The house is large, warm, and spacious, and if you want privacy you can have that too. The Wireless Internet access worked great - no problems, and my cell phone reception worked as well. I am coming back to Fairbanks on business trips - 3 more times in the summer of 2008, and I have already booked my return visits at Kathy and Jeff's 'A Moose in the Garden B&B'. We have decided to take a family vacation here in August, and I am bringing my wife and kids to stay here as well.
