A Taste of Alaska Lodge

Fantastic! Cabin was clean and so comfortable. 2 bedrooms, kitchen and spacious living room/ dining room. Even discovered that we had our own unadvertised jacuzzi downstairs! The south facing view from the living room window and off the front deck was beautiful! Perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset! Panoramic views of the valley. Could even see Denali in the distance. I was able to take great pictures of the aurora from the front deck. They also have an aurora viewing deck and warming hut with north facing views right on the property and aurora wake up calls. Breakfast was very good and included in the price of the cabin. The dining area was lovely with beautiful views and the owners and staff were friendly and accommodating. It is also a 20 minute walk to the dogsledding tours along a groomed trail through the woods. No bears or wolves in winter. Walk was easy and felt very safe. Wonderful experience. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again.

The Taste of Alaska Lodge was a very homey and unique place to stay. Debbie and Kory were very accommodating and fun to talk to. It was great hearing the stories they shared. We were there with a group trip (with Gondwana) and it was nice to see they had a strong partnership. The breakfasts were made fresh and varied day-to-day, which was nice. The dinner meals we had there were really good - especially the final night of the group trip! We really liked the singing alarm that would wake us up when the Northern Lights were starting their show. ||We were so excited to be able to extend our trip by an extra day in order to try one additional night of looking for the Northern Lights (which totally paid off!!). We highly recommend the Taste of Alaska Lodge for a nice getaway not to far from Fairbanks, but far enough to feel like you’re really in Alaska! You’ll be taken care of very well!

We had an amazing 5-night stay at Taste of Alaska towards the end of December. We spent 3 nights in the log house and 2 nights in the main lodge, thoroughly enjoying both accommodations. Staying in the main lodge was particularly convenient as we didn’t have to bundle up for breakfast. The log house offered a cozy, private space with a spacious patio and a kitchen stocked with basic supplies, making it easy to whip up a quick meal. The owners, especially Debbie, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Debbie made it a point to chat with guests during breakfast and even helped us connect with a local driver for a trip to Chena Hot Springs. We also enjoyed visiting Paws for Adventure, just a short walk from the property, and trying out the snowshoes provided. The property’s location, away from the city, was its biggest highlight—offering stunning mountain views, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and, of course, the auroras. The aurora alarm was a thoughtful touch, allowing us to witness incredible shows on two nights. While breakfast was basic, it was sufficient, and the overall experience of being surrounded by Arctic wilderness made this a fantastic place to stay. Highly recommend it!

Perfect location and facility to view the northern lights. We booked our tour through Gondwana Ecotours. Couldn't have been more pleased with the tour company or the accommodations at A Taste of Alaska Lodge. Near enough to Fairbanks if you need something, but far enough out for the aurora viewing to not be affected by the city lights.

The rooms are amazing and decorated with very interesting pictures and objects that have been collected throughout Alaska. The service is witty, funny, and excellent! And the location is just perfect. On clear days you can see Mt. Denali and if you come up here for the aurora, you will have the very best seats in Alaska to view it. The best and coziest lodge i have ever been in.

We had a wonderful stay at A Taste of Alaska lodge! We were there for six nights and each morning, we were served different breakfast items. There was oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, toast, bagels, egg casseroles, pancakes, french toast, pastries, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and the best berries that I don't recall the name of!|The decor is an eclectic collection of everything and it was interesting to look around. There are refrigerators on each floor for visitors to use. No outside shoes allowed indoors and they provide slippers if you need them. The rooms are clean and spacious. |The Aurora viewing area is an easy walk from each room. We were blessed with 4 nights of beautiful Aurora lights!! There is a warming hut there with comfy sofas and snow shoes for hiking in the fresh snow.|Lastly, the staff was very nice and helpful. Thank you!! Debbie had us laughing so much; please don't even think of retiring!

Best place to see the Aurora Borealis. Just got here yesterday and already had my dream come true. Kory is amazing. He made booking the lodge and the car seamless. Would definitely send all my friends here ❤️ and would totally return.

We had a great time at A Taste of Alaska Lodge. We had rooms in the main lodge and couldn't stop looking at all the memorabilia that was everywhere! All super interesting. The rooms were super clean and the breakfasts were delicious. We enjoyed talking with everyone--tons of local knowledge. If we're ever back in Fairbanks, we'll book again! (The northern lights may be calling our name. :) )
