We loved the friendliness of property owners and are thankful for all of their help and information they shared. Les shared some of his Alaska pioneer legacy and is the real deal. We were greeted with homemade cookies that Carol made which were delicious I might add 😊 We would highly recommend this place. It was quite comfy and clean and well stocked. Great couple, so glad we met!!

Lives up to the description and more
Carol and Les have a fabulously located property. Easy to get to from Fairbanks (airport, university, restaurants and shopping). The two of them are such hospitable people giving is lots of options for exploring even with the rainy weather. The chalet is very comfortable with every amenity you can imagine. Thank you Carol and Les for giving us the opportunity to see Fairbanks as a “local”.

We could not ask for a better place or hosts. The reviews are truly accurate in describing what a lovely couple Carol and Les are and how incredibly hospitable they are. The house is cozy, clean and comfortable. We were welcomed with the most delicious homemade cookies, fresh flowers and a locally made lavendar soap. So nice to walk in to such care. Carol went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and more enjoyable. Thank you so much and we will be back!

From the moment I booked the stay Carol gave me all the info I needed from checkin, do’s and don'ts to check out. Provided information about the area and even had a plate of “welcome” cookies for me. As I was in Fairbanks for work the property was just what I needed, clean, comfortable, quiet with all the amenities of home in a great location. I will be back😎

January visit.
Carol’s property was clean and very well stocked. We visited in January with plenty of snow on the roads. Carol and Les kept the property plowed and easy to navigate. Inside, there were plenty of extra blankets, quality kitchen utensils for cooking and even extra parkas if your group needed them. When we return to Fairbanks we plan to stay with Carol again.

A slice of heaven!
Carol and Les were fantastic hosts. They gave us access to the on site cameras to help us spot the active Auroras. We were also given local knowledge of the best activities. This property is located on the edge of town, away from the city light pollution, which makes it great to view the Auroras. It is also extremely quiet and peaceful. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Fairbanks.

We booked because of the reviews about Carol
Myself and two friends set about to travel to Fairbanks to see the northern lights. We reviewed many listings but the reviews about Carol and Les were outstanding - and were 100% on point. Warm, homemade cookies awaited us when we arrived. Staying in the apartment below their home was almost like staying in their home. There were all of the cooking utensils, spices, condiments, etc that you would have in your own home - probably more! There was aluminum foil, ziplocs, etc which almost is never found in a vrbo. Prior to our trip Carol was extremely helpful about planning our things to do. While we were there she gave us guidance and recommendations as well. Our trip could not have been more perfect and I believe it had a lot to do with Carol and Wes. I will be back in the summertime, and have already recommended this property to friends.

We had a wonderful time spending a week at Aspen Woods, we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Location and hosts were perfect! We had no plans while there, just enjoyed the scenery one day at a time.

Host was so welcoming, and chalet was more than well-equipped and very comfortable. Even before we arrived, we received helpful information and links to every imaginable area attraction. We were there to catch the aurora, and host shared live camera app, allowing us to remain inside and warm while waiting for activity to show! Visible right on property! Host has 2 rentals on property. Chalet shares main building with host’s home, which is the story above chalet.

Able to take advantage of all winter activities in Fairbanks
We had a great time. Very friendly hosts. She recommended great businesses where we experienced dog sledding, reindeer ranch, Chena Hot Springs, and snowmobiling. It snowed 5 nights so we did not have a great chance to see the northern lights. The 2 nights that were available the lights were not as bright as some of the pictures. I guess that means we have to come back...

Best Hosts In Every Way!
Les and Carol are very kind people and their home is lovingly cared for, warm (and that’s saying something in -35 degrees Fahrenheit), the beds are comfortable, the space is not large but it has everything one needs when you come in out of the cold. It is located close to town, but surrounded by trees, making it feel like you are far from everything and makes the lights easy to see when they are happening. Everything about our stay was a joy and a pleasure. Carol was in regular contact before, during and after our vacation. We were greeted with delicious home made cookies and lovely flowers. The first morning Carol came down and gave us all the information we could possibly need to enjoy Fairbanks and the surrounding area. In addition to the excellent communication and wonderful home, their motion detector alerting you of the northern lights activity made it so easy to stay inside out of the cold and know when to layer on those clothes and get out there to catch the lights. The system alerts you that motion is taking place and shows a quick video of the activity so you know when it’s time to get out there to enjoy the show. It works perfectly. We were able to stay in bed until it was the exact time to get dressed and get out there. The best viewing spot was right outside at the top of the driveway. The home’s location outside of town means the city lights do not distract from the lights in the sky. We went to Fairbanks to see the lights and boy oh boy did we get a show! In all, everything about our stay with Carol & Les was all we could hope for. We were welcomed, warm and delighted with everything around us. If we ever return to Fairbanks the only place we would consider staying is with Les and Carol. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation!!
