Comfortable woodland retreat

It was cozy and comfortable. There was plenty of space to spread out. Common ateas were large and nicely appointed. Shared full refrigerator available for use. Bed was comfortable with luxurious sheets. Would be great for a family reunion or group retreat. Beautiful outdoor spaces. Would definitely stay here again.

The Northern Sky Lodge has basic lodging that met our needs during a loop driving tour of central AK. The room and property are clean. The common breakfast area and offerings were fine. Please put up a sign on or next to your mailbox on AK3, as we missed the turn when we arrived as the driveway is somewhat hidden when heading south.

This place is very unique. It is located about 30 minutes south of Faribanks on a beautiful property. It is self check-in, which went totally smooth. We weren't sure what to expect from the property, but we were blown away as soon as we walked in. The common area feels like someone's extremely cool living room, with comfy couches, books and games. There is a kitchen available for guests' use and a gorgeous view off of the dining area. Breakfast items are available for the morning. It is definitely not your cookie-cutter hotel, and has a nice Alaska vibe.

Wish we could have stayed forever!!

It was amazing!! Euphoric! The drive up there is a bit sketchy this time of the year but is absolutely worth it!! As you turn off the highway you drive down a private driveway through the trees to the beautiful lodge nestled in the middle of the woods. The cabins are comfortable and warm!
