Gilmore House

We are located off of historic Gilmore Trail appx. 10 miles north of Fairbanks. Our cute 3b.r.- 1 bath home can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people and is perfect for anyone who is interested in exploring the Last Frontier at your own pace. We have a large deck located on the 2nd floor and a large front porch, both overlooking the historic Gold filled hills north of town. Great for watching the Northern Lights or enjoying the Midnight Sun! We have a fully equipped kitchen and we always provide, with our compliments, a food 'Starter Kit' with things like Bacon & Eggs, OJ,milk, cereal, oatmeal, bread, butter, PB&J, a variety of condiments, salad dressings, spices, and more, as well as snacks & some bottled water. In the freezer there are always a couple of pizzas! So much easier then trying to find a Grocery store before you've even had a chance to get settled in! With a little notice, we can pick you up or drop you off at the Airport or Train Depot. We are Dog friendly & even have a little 'Starter Kit' for Fido! We live next door so no matter what time of year you come to Alaska, we are always available should you need anything & we will do our absolute best to make sure you and your family & friends have a great visit! No matter where you choose to stay, whether with us or elsewhere, we hope you have a wonderful time in Alaska!

Awesome!!!
Laura & Martin have treated us like family, so kind, helpful, considerate. They are just great human beings!!! Their house was delightful. We had the “real Alaska “ experience. We had such a great 7 day stay. The kitchen had everything needed to cook, plus bacon & eggs!! The bedrooms were clean, beds very comfortable. The mountains and trees made a beautiful setting. I highly recommend them and hope to return someday. Thank you so much!!!!

Wonderful host
Laura was extremely helpful with local knowledge and was very responsive to questions, as well as pro-active with relaying useful information about our booking. The house was very clean, and well prepared for guests. The beds were comfortable, and all of the services working properly. I would be very happy to stay at Gilmore house again when I visit Faribanks.

Winter wonderland vacation
The Gilmore house is one of the best places we've ever stayed while traveling and there are lots of reasons why: - The view is epic and solitary - The house is warm, comfy, charming, and full of fascinating historic Alaskan details. - The house is stocked with amenities and gear that helped us make the most out of our adventures. - The sledding hills on the property were incredibly fun - The hosts are especially kind and thoughtful! Overall 10/10 truly, we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our time in Fairbanks and see the aurora!

BLOWN AWAY
WOW! ….is all I can say. Laura goes above and beyond. She stalked our fridge, met me at the airport to follow her to the house, would text me back in an instant, had the house stalked with everything we needed, gave us recommendations, and even told us when the northern lights were out! She truly made my trip 100x better and will be the ONLY place I ever recommend or stay at in Fairbanks!

A Home Away from Home
The best choice we made for our family was to stay at the Gilmore House, rather than in downtown Fairbanks. Hand built by the owners, the house is warm, well-supplied and maintained, set perfectly in the woods, but not far from main roads and, as a bonus, full of good vibes. You can feel that it is a well loved home. Laura Duffy shared numerous resources and let us know when the aurora was out at night, no matter the time. Truly, just right, for a winter vacation in Alaska.

Incredible and cozy retreat
A few of us got together for New Years Eve and the Gilmore house was absolutely perfect. Great location, secluded but not too far from Fairbanks. The hosts were incredible, very friendly and quick to be of any help they could. They even invited us for a small bonfire they had, which was super fun. Would definitely go back and recommend.

Best host ever
We loved our stay at the Gilmore House. The views were incredible, with just the right amount of rustic charm. We were all so comfortable and happy there. The best part of the stay was our incredible hosts who made sure we had everything we needed from snacks and meal starters on arrival to links to activities and tips for seeing the aurora. They went above and beyond in every way and we can’t thank them enough. Hopefully we’ll return soon and stay at Gilmore House again!

Light show spectacular!
We were lucky enough to have a beautiful night of “the lights.” We watched the Aurora right from the front yard. The home is beautiful and very clean. The starter kit of food was very helpful. Laura was wonderfully communicative regarding the lights and things to do in town. If your coming to Fairbanks, you must stay here.
