Escape to Birchwood Suite

Escape from the monotony of daily life to Fairbanks, Alaska at Birchwood Escape! Nestled on Murphy Dome, surrounded by birch trees with a view like none other in the Fairbanks area; this one bedroom vacation rental is complete with a full kitchen and living room area with a full entertainment center. The goose down comforter on the queen size bed is very comfortable but I bet you'd rather be outside enjoying Alaska in its finest. A large comfortable sofa enables this property to accommodate 3 guests. If desired, renters may have access to traditional native parkas, furs, hats, and more for photos to remember your time at Birchwood Suite. A short 14 miles west of Fairbanks allows full views of the Northern Lights. During the summer, we are a short 10 minute drive to the top of Murphy Dome. Come enjoy all that Birchwood Suite has to offer.

There is no public transportation to this location. We are 20 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and 25 minutes from downtown Fairbanks. Uber and taxi service is available in Fairbanks however, they are expensive and may be inconvenient. A rental car is the best choice when staying with us. We strongly recommend that guests visiting us in the winter rent an AWD vehicle.
Features at this apartment building include breakfast (surcharge). Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a TV in the apartment.

Awesome experience at Escape to Birchwood Suite
Tim and Stacie were exceptional hosts. From the great accommodations to the coffee, homemade bread and raspberry jam the stay was awesome. They even saved us a trip to town with some super glue when my wife's glasses broke and when we had to have a package delivered. Loved the heated floors in the bedroom and bathroom. Spent 9 days with them during our Fairbanks Aurora vacation. Had great viewing on our tours and even great Aurora viewing from their driveway on the two nights we didn't go out on tours. Could not have been more pleased with the experience.

Great space, fantastic hosts
We felt we were at home away from home with friends! When we checked in, the place was warm and inviting. While there, Fairbanks experienced "warm-ageddon", temperatures approaching 40 when they're usually -20, which turned the roads into sheets of ice rink. Tim and Stacie were EXCELLENT in communicating during this time, keeping their driveway clear and safe, and offering to help if we felt the roads were too treacherous for us to drive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again!

Great Stay
This place was amazing & well stocked. Tim & Stacie were great people to work with and the pictures are exactly what the 1 bedroom Apt. looked like. Its a bit of a drive in winter but we were ok with that (being from MN) as we were there to relax, aurora chase, and revisit areas of Fairbanks we have been to and not been too. :) Watched the Aurora's right outside the Apt. Will likely be back again in the fall. Thanks for the goodies and the raspberry jam. Hubby said the coffee pot (and coffee) was amazing. All was good :)

We enjoyed Stacie and Tim’s hospitality. Treats were left upon arrival making the first morning enjoyable without needing to have ran to the store before checking in. The apartment is so homey and clean that my autistic daughter walked around barefoot which she rarely does even at lifetime friends homes.

Peaceful Place in the Woods near Murphy Dome
We loved staying here. You can tell the host cares about being a good host and not just trying to monetize space, unlike some other places we've stayed. The towels and sheets were good quality and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with basics like spices, cooking oil, tea, coffee, hot cocoa plus the spatulas and anything you'd need to make a meal. There was a wonderful welcome basket with local treats. We stayed in September and the view across the valley was spectacular with all of the trees turning yellow. You could occasionally hear footsteps from the hosts family upstairs, but they were quieter than most places.

We had a great time at Birchwood Suite! It was perfect for my wife and I. The location and landscaping and tiered gardens were very scenic. And, as an added bonus, the fruits and vegetables were available to us for picking. Tim and Stacie were excellent hosts!

Excellent and Beautiful!
My husband and I stayed here a year ago on our honeymoon and again for our one year anniversary. We absolutely loved it! The property is beautiful and about a 15 minute drive from town, which we liked. It’s good to get away from the noise and bustle of the city. The apartment was clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed and more! Tim and Stacie were awesome to work with and they are lovely people. We would absolutely stay again.

Cute, Comfortable Condo
From the lit up barns at the entrance to the lane, to the birchwood wreath on the front door, to the fresh flowers and welcome basket, to the birch decorations, to the soft towels and comfy bed, to the well stocked kitchen this condo is well worth the money. We were glad we had a 4 wheel drive vehicle since the roads all around Fairbanks were snow packed - which added to our Alaska experience. We didn’t read the description about the tv but thankfully the WiFi service was strong enough that we could stream our YouTube TV. Thank you Motis Family!!

A great stay
This was one of the best stays I’ve had. The location was a quick 20 mins to Fairbanks, the place was spacious, and clean. This was the most stocked rental I have ever been in. Ample towels, tissues, and cooking supplies which isn’t always present in other rentals. The farm eggs, jam, coffee, and candies was a very appreciated bonus as well. The bed was super comfortable and I am so thankful for the washer/dryer since this was the halfway point to our trip and had a lot of laundry to do! My only negative about this place was the Wi-Fi. Our phones only connected about 50% of the time and our computers couldn’t connect at all. We had to go into town to do work from a cafe but other than that issue this was a perfect rental. Thanks so much!!

Perfect!!
This property is perfect in every way! Super clean, beautiful inside and out (oh, the view!), well-equipped, extremely comfortable and welcoming! There is not one thing we would change. The Motis family is so kind and friendly, we enjoyed meeting them and talking with them. (But if you want to have complete privacy and not visit, they keep to themselves). Our main goal in Fairbanks was to see the Northern Lights- and we had the most amazing display of God’s beauty right outside our door! Another highlight was a trip to Black Spruce Dog Sledding, which was recommended by Tim. Highly recommend! It was one of the highlights of our trip! We have zero complaints about our stay at Birchwood Suite, and we are already planning a trip back in the summer! Thank you, Motis Family!!

Tim and Stacie are exceptionally gracious and generous hosts, above and beyond reasonable expectations, even though we wound up being needy guests.

Birchwood Suites-amazing
This was the perfect place for us. It was clean, welcoming and in a beutiful setting. Thank you for the personal touches, Alaskan drinks and snacks, flowers, fresh eggs from the kids, laundry soap, personal size shampoo, etc., but especially for the plowed drive and parking. It made our stay so pleasant. It is bigger than we expected. We felt so pampered! We were able to see so many great things. We went on a dog sled ride, soaked in Chena hot springs, saw the museum of the North and the Morris Thompson museum. We saw the Northern lights more than one night! They were so beautiful. We were on the run most of the time. It was wonderful to have a great place to land each night. Thanks again, Don and Kristi
