What a great place to stay for your Alaskan adventure and Aurora viewing. We stayed at Northern Sky Lodge for 7 nights in March 2013. We wanted to see the Aurora and we wanted to be away from the city lights. What a perfect place. The lodge is located in a beautiful woodsy area that is only 30 min. away... More

My boyfriend and I stayed for four nights at Northern Sky Lodge. Pascale is wonderful hostess. Our room was warm and cozy even though the temperature outside was around zero at night. We had room 3, with Northern views of the Aurora (saw them & photographed them each night!) and a view of the mush dogs from the west window.... More

I'll start by saying that we really enjoyed our stayed at the Northern Sky Lodge and if I ever get to go to Fairbanks again, I'd definitely stay there again. We stayed at the Northern Sky Lodge in September 2012 for 5 nights. We traveled to Fairbanks for a week hoping to see the northern lights. It was raining and... More

Spent 5 days at Northern Sky Lodge for a chilly February Aurora trip. The property itself is fabulously beautiful, the lodge is clean, comfortable, warm and Pascale is a splendid host. Dogsledding is a must as are walks around the property with Sid. Nothing bad to say at all, everything was perfect and we got some great aurora viewing.

I simply love this place! Situated approximately 30miles south of Fairbanks, this lovely little lodge is so big and comfortable that you cannot afford to miss it! I wished I could have stayed longer! Sid is so adorable, along with all the huskies that will always greet us when we walked pass them. Pascale, the owner of the lodge is... More

Very conveniently located just off the main highway between Denali and Fairbanks! This lodge is absolutely gorgeous. Rustic elegance, I would call it. Pascale has done a marvelous job decorating this place. WELCOMING is the best word I can come up with to describe it. I loved everything about this property and would be tempted to buy it (IT'S FOR... More

Conveniently placed 30 miles south of Fairbanks off the Parks Highway, beautiful spacious lodge with a very warm welcome by Pascale who has the perfect touch: friendly but leaving you your space. Impeccably clean, wonderful view of the Northern Lights, dog sledding, walks in the pine woods, berry picking with Sid, an adorable golden retriever. This place is heaven. About... More

This is my first review on Tripadvisor and it is just for Northern Sky Lodge. We love this place so much. Cozy, beautiful and definitely fantastic aurora. We stayed for two nights and we saw beautiful aurora on both nights (it might be hard to be seen if living in the city of Fairbanks). And I love Sid! I miss... More

We stayed 5 nights at this terrific lodge. Not only is Pascale a wonderful hostess, she offers great advice on everything from dressing to stay warm to how to photograph the Aurora. We were fortunate to see the Northern Lights every night during our stay. We opted for Room #3 with a private bath. The room was well appointed, cozy... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, and enjoyed Pascale's wonderful hospitality. I'm sorry that our travel plans didn't allow us to stay longer. We were even lucky enough to see the aurora!
