About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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!

Charming, comfortable and so very welcoming!
We traveled from our home in Anchorage for a quick summer warm up in Fairbanks. 3 adults, one teen. The Amazing and thoughtful hosts have created space that brings a smile to your face as soon as you step inside. It’s a special place and you can feel the love they put into it. Laura & Martin have collected wonderful antiques, Alaskan historical items, literature and even fossils! The home is warm and inviting space for a family with lots of cozy blankets, great beds, with board games, snacks and breakfast items. Even honey for my tea! Waking up in the master bedroom with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the forest was peaceful and relaxing. Our hosts were great communicators, kind and friendly. They offered ideas for adventures and answered questions quickly. I’m a big fan of Gilmore House and we can’t wait to return!

Great Getaway!
Great home away from home, near enough to town but with all the feel of a cozy cabin away. The hosts are amazing, good communication and helpful with every part of the stay. We definitely appreciated all the notes, recommendations, and the "starter kit" groceries. We would definitely stay again!!

Our stay at the Gilmore house exceeded our expectations! So safe and quiet. We felt so welcomed to their home from beginning to end. We shared great moments with the host and they always checked in on us via text message to ensure we saw the aurora ! The house itself is like a little museum! We enjoyed sledding down the little slope and swinging on their bench swing. Beautiful memories and moments. Thank you so much for the hospitality. Hopefully we make it back to visit someday!

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!

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!
