We recommend that our guests rent a car while staying with us. We unfortunately do not have a shuttle service. Most of the major car rental companies have facilities at Fairbanks International Airport. In the winter, roads are kept clear of snow, and our driveway is plowed. However, if guests don’t have winter driving experience, we recommend renting a car with All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
If renting a car is not a possibility, guests can take a RideShare service to the Lodge. A ride from Fairbanks International ranges from $35-50, and from downtown Fairbanks $20-35.
We recommend either Uber or Lyft. Check their website for price estimators
We can make dinner for our guests, with advance notice. Please email us for a menu, if you would like to add dinner service to your reservation.
