Lower Chatanika River State Recreation Area

Beautiful Lodge with a Cozy Alaskan Feel Pike’s Waterfront Lodge is a beautiful property with lovely décor. I especially enjoyed the lighting in the main lobby and hallways, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. Kudos to the housekeeping team for keeping everything in great condition! Breakfast was good and a convenient way to start the day. My only downside was the pricey food options at the gift shop, where a few more budget-friendly choices would have been appreciated. Overall, a lovely place to stay in Fairbanks, with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of Alaskan charm!

This stay was a surprise. It is off the beaten path nestled in the woods with neighboring homes with spacious lots. It is a modern building that looks like a modern home. It has gravel driveway. It has a self check in with a text to office/ staff for help if needed. They are responsive. Building is clean and provides slippers for the use inside. The room is clean, has desk, reading chair and a spectacular viewing window that proved to be very useful for catching the northern loghts. The kitchen downstairs was packed with goodies and frig was packed with various options and frozen food and treats. Kitchen area has a large sitting table. All and all it was one of the memorable places we have stayed. I am glad we went and did see the northern lights. But the northern lights due to weather and nature are not always visable.
