Fabulous place to see the Northern Lights. The lodge is cozy and the option to cook is great. There weren't many people when we came, so privacy in the common areas was great. Communication with staff was topnotch.

Great location, friendly staff, homely amenities, and cozy atmosphere. The whole point of visiting Fairbanks was to see the northern lights in person, and Northern Sky Lodge did not disappoint. Granted we were a bit lucky with clear conditions and aurora activity, but we could literally walk outside the lodge and see the lights in action! Just a heads up - the lodge is a bit far from the main town of Fairbanks, so we bought groceries on the way from the airport for our stay. The lodge provides a simple breakfast and full kitchen facilities for every cooking need, and the staff were very helpful and responsive to our questions. We were surprised at how warm we could be in the lodge as well, as each room and the common areas come equipped with a heater. Puzzles, games, included wifi, and lovely views were a bonus as well. If I were to visit Fairbanks again, this is the only location I would consider booking for the best view of the northern lights. Crossing the lights off my bucket list and I hope whoever’s reading can cross them off too at Northern Sky Lodge! 🌌✅

Clean, rustic and comfy

Despite our late arrival and short stay, we found the Northern Sky Lodge to be a clean, simple, and rustic stop on our self-directed travel in AK. The breakfast and common areas were very well organized and accommodating. Beds clean and comfy. Wish we could have been there on a clear night.
