Gilmore House

We are located off of historic Gilmore Trail appx. 10 miles north of Fairbanks. Our cute 3b.r.- 1 bath home can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people and is perfect for anyone who is interested in exploring the Last Frontier at your own pace. We have a large deck located on the 2nd floor and a large front porch, both overlooking the historic Gold filled hills north of town. Great for watching the Northern Lights or enjoying the Midnight Sun! The kitchen has pots & pans, dishes, silverware, baking pans, cake pans etc. and we always provide, with our compliments, a food *'Starter Kit' with things like Bacon & Eggs & OJ plus a variety of condiments, salad dressings, spices, and more, plus some snacks & bottled water. In the freezer there are always a couple of pizzas! *(Gluten /Dairy free options available upon request with advanced notice). So much easier than trying to find a Grocery store before you've even had a chance to get settled in! With a little notice, we can pick you up or drop you off at the Airport or Train Depot. We are Pet friendly & have water & food bowls & a blanket for your fur babies. We live next door, so no matter what time of year you come to Alaska, we are always available should you need anything & we will do our absolute best to make sure you and your family & friends have a great visit! No matter where you choose to stay, whether with us or elsewhere, we hope you have a wonderful time in Alaska!

Laura and Martin were amazing hosts! The cabin is cozy and warm. If you are going for the Northern Lights, this cabin is the perfect spot. Close enough to the city for touristing during the day and far enough in the hills to get out of the ice fog and watch the Northern Lights dance at night. Highly recommend this rental!

From the start of our vacation communication with the host was exceptional. We were not guessing when we arrived on the process to check in Directions were spot on and we arrived with ease even in the dark. They provided snacks for us which came in hand when we arrive late and my kids were hungry. The house is clean and warm The host were helpful when planning tours or if I had questions and gave wake up calls when the auroras were out. We were grateful and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Gilmore house and Fairbanks in general.

Our stay at Gilmore House in Fairbanks was fantastic. Laura and Martin were exceptional hosts. Before we arrived Laura sent many links to restaurants, museums, events, and activities we may be interested in and all of them were terrific. They were near by if we needed anything but also respectful of guests privacy. We got caught short of supplies by the weather but they had some food on hand at the house that made that situation not an issue. They planned ahead when we didn't. The house itself was like a mini museum with artifacts and numerous Alaska historical pieces. We had a wonderful time in Fairbanks and Martin and Laura helped make that all possible.Dave and Anne

Perfect. Laura thought of every amenity and the snacks/food were great as was the condiment section in the frig (mustard, mayo, butter!) We only saw the lights one night and Laura alerted us to them. The bed was comfy, and the living area was great for hanging out in and watching the birds and squirrels at the feeder.
