I stayed at the Minnie Street B&B twice while in Fairbanks for work, in March and May. Each visit was for 3 weeks. This is by far the best B&B I have ever stayed in! Before my first visit I was nervous about staying here but that feeling left almost the moment I arrived and after I left I couldn't wait for my second trip! This is not your typical B&B, it is like a home away from home. Marnie, Lambert, Vicki and Jim are all wonderful hosts and very accomodating. The entire place is spotlessly clean. The rooms are bright and have little details that make you feel so at home here. The beds are SO comfortable! They prepare a wonderful breakfast every morning. The location is quiet yet very close to the visitor's center and shopping, with easy access to the highway. The hosts are very friendly and are more than happy to provide information about local restaurants, places to go and things to do. They even have a washer and drier (with laundry soap provided) that guests may use (I did several times). While I was here I really enjoyed meeting people visiting from all over the world. I highly recommend this place for visiting guests and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. I was alone these two visits but in the future I hope to take a trip to Fairbanks with my husband and intend to include Minnie Street B&B in my plans.
Marnie and Lambert run a top notch B&B way up in Fairbanks! FIrst, Lambert was VERY accommodating of our last minute plans and set it up so we could come in very last minute AND arrive past midnight! Our late arrival was seamless and we were able to get the keys and head straight to our rooms. We were two couples, and they set us up in two rooms that faced each other upstairs in the second house. One of the most important things I was looking for when I was looking for a hotel was a Wi-Fi connection. They had one and it worked perfectly. It was nice to be able to get online while I was in bed and it was snowing outside. The rooms were very cozy and had everything we needed to be comfortable. It's a lot of fun to go down into the main house for a wonderful home cooked breakfast each morning and Marnie and Lambert (the owners) are great company. Marnie makes great meals and Lambert is very enthusiastic about Fairbanks and has great suggestions about many things to do. We went to Fairbanks specifically to see the Aurora Borealis and it did not disappoint. Lambert suggested some excellent viewing spots and we sure received a spectacular show. You can walk right into town from the B&B and we were able to go to some nice restaurants and walk around town right out the door. You should definitely get a car though, if you wish to drive up to the Chena Hotsprings, go to Fox (where the excellent Silver Gulch microbrewery and restaurant is located, which has excellent food and beer), and to go to various semi-remote (but pretty close by) spots to view the Aurora. You also should have one to drive out to see the Alaska Pipeline, and to the university to see the excellent museum. Everything Lambert suggested to us was definitely worthwhile seeing. We had an excellent experience at the Minnie Street B&B and would not hesitate to both suggest it to others and return there again ourselves. - Gary ;-)
I travel to Fairbanks between 2 and 3 times a year and at least one is an extended stay. I always choose Minnie St B&B for their charming owners, warm atmosphere, and very comfortable accommodations. They cater the breakfast to your schedule and are flexible as far as your diet. During this past stay, they made some very hearty and delicious soups/stews with breads during the evening, which was perfect for taking off the winter breakup chill. The owners are very personable and you'll be entertained by their many life experience stories. I've enjoyed meeting the other guests and have made several business as well as social contacts. I would highly refer Minnie Street B&B to anyone who desires something more than a hotel can offer without added expense.
We make an annual trek to Fairbanks each winter and we always stay at Minnie Street B&B. Marnie and Lambert, and now Vickie and Jim as well, are incredible hosts. Absolutely spotless rooms, great beds, and a tasty and filling breakfast each and every day. We can always count on these great hosts to come up with yet another activity or "something to do" that we haven't done before...and we live in Alaska! Their newest rooms in the building they just ocmpleted last year are incredible. Ask for the premium suite with the steam shower and jacuzzi tub. Bring lots of bubble bath and a bottle of champagne. Thier InnSpa package are also great and a nice treat after a long day of sightseeing or snowmobiling!
