Creator's Key Takeaways

We enjoyed it. We thought it was a very nice property. It is not five-star luxury by any stretch of imagination.

The grounds are beautiful. Very nice trails around the area.

The food was good. Um, I don't really go into too much on food reviews because everybody's taste is different.

The coffee was excellent. I'm a big coffee fan. Um not usually a fan of coffee out, but the coffee was out of this world.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring shorts and t-shirts as Fairbanks can be warm in summer.
โœ“Use green and red luggage tags for lodge and ship transfers.
โœ“Bring a backpack for bus transfers; roller bags go under the bus.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Luggage confusion on land and sea tours โ€” Use green tags for next lodge, red tags for ship; roller bags go under bus, not on bus.
Expecting luxury but getting rustic rooms โ€” The lodge is rustic and basic, like a Fairfield Inn; not five-star luxury.
