“The riverside cottages create a distinctive sense of place, especially appealing to those seeking a quieter Alaskan experience; the on-site restaurant, while separate from the breakfast area, provides a solid option with its Alaskan seafood and live music. While some may find aspects a bit dated, the overall functionality and friendly service make it a reasonable base for exploring Fairbanks.”
