"Staff was unbelievable!!! Food was great.
This place may not be a success without the present staff. Dog sled girl was amazing. Snow mobile girl was from Hawaii. The restaurant manager was hands on and just never stopped!
So corporate if you read this make sure you treat this staff. Oh the aurora was awesome too.
Thanks for an unforgettable trip"
"Outstanding Stay Near Fairbanks
We had a wonderful stay at Alaskan Grizzly Lodge. The rooms are clean, beautifully updated, and very comfortable. The gourmet breakfasts were a true highlight—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared each morning.
The staff is exceptionally attentive and welcoming, making you feel genuinely cared for throughout your stay. One of the most magical perks: you can watch the Northern Lights right from the lodge’s decks.
A fantastic place to stay near Fairbanks—highly recommended for comfort, hospitality, and unforgettable views."
