A Taste of Alaska Lodge

Fantastic! Cabin was clean and so comfortable. 2 bedrooms, kitchen and spacious living room/ dining room. Even discovered that we had our own unadvertised jacuzzi downstairs! The south facing view from the living room window and off the front deck was beautiful! Perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset! Panoramic views of the valley. Could even see Denali in the distance. I was able to take great pictures of the aurora from the front deck. They also have an aurora viewing deck and warming hut with north facing views right on the property and aurora wake up calls. Breakfast was very good and included in the price of the cabin. The dining area was lovely with beautiful views and the owners and staff were friendly and accommodating. It is also a 20 minute walk to the dogsledding tours along a groomed trail through the woods. No bears or wolves in winter. Walk was easy and felt very safe. Wonderful experience. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again.

The Taste of Alaska Lodge was a very homey and unique place to stay. Debbie and Kory were very accommodating and fun to talk to. It was great hearing the stories they shared. We were there with a group trip (with Gondwana) and it was nice to see they had a strong partnership. The breakfasts were made fresh and varied day-to-day, which was nice. The dinner meals we had there were really good - especially the final night of the group trip! We really liked the singing alarm that would wake us up when the Northern Lights were starting their show. We were so excited to be able to extend our trip by an extra day in order to try one additional night of looking for the Northern Lights (which totally paid off!!). We highly recommend the Taste of Alaska Lodge for a nice getaway not to far from Fairbanks, but far enough to feel like you’re really in Alaska! You’ll be taken care of very well!

We had a great time at A Taste of Alaska Lodge. We had rooms in the main lodge and couldn't stop looking at all the memorabilia that was everywhere! All super interesting. The rooms were super clean and the breakfasts were delicious. We enjoyed talking with everyone--tons of local knowledge. If we're ever back in Fairbanks, we'll book again! (The northern lights may be calling our name. :) )

Where do I start? We took our grandchildren to Alaska for their spring break and after much research were able to find the A Taste of Alaska Lodge. From the moment we arrived Cory welcomed us and made our grandchildren (aged 13 and 11) feel right at home. We stayed in the Cedar Cabin and it was great! Cory and Debbie are absolutely wonderful hosts. Breakfasts every morning were a perfect way to start our day (thanks to Cheyenne!) I can go on and on, but suffice it to say you CANNOT go wrong staying here. We are already looking forward to planning our next trip back!

Can't say enough about them. From checking in to departing I was treated as family. The main lodge was very spacious and friendly. Kory, Lily, Debbie, David and let's not forget the puppies made every minute very down to earth and enjoyable. I stayed in "Debbie's Garage Chalet" a quaint little chalet with a great view. Room was clean and spacious for 1 or 2 people. During my stay it was -28f and I had a rental car. there was a plug-in engine block heater at the chalet avail for use which came in handy a few days. Breakfast was plentiful and very delicious consisting of a variety of desires including eggs, oatmeal, bagels, toast, fruit, bacon, sausage, pancakes, coffee, juice and a few others. More than plenty to fill the belly. During the night hours (9pm-3am) the lodge had an Aurora expert at the warming hut basically giving you a play by play of what is about to happen according to the space weather data, and she was pretty much right on about everything, very impressive!!!! Did I say it was -28F. So, the warming hut was essential to keeping hands, feet, cheeks and noses warm. Oh, also camera gear from freezing as well. "A Taste of Alaska" is an absolute gem!!!!!!! Highly recommended!!!!!! Beautiful area and INCREDIBLY AWESOME hosts!!!!!! Lance Bassett

One of our primary reasons to stay at A Taste of Alaska Lodge outside Fairbanks was to put ourselves in the most favorable situation to see the Northern Lights and we were certainly not disappointed! Kory Eberhart who owns the lodge has long experience with the aurora and has a system set up to alert the guests in all the cabins who request it when the aurora displays. He is a very amiable fellow and we all enjoyed his sharing his vast knowledge of Alaska with us. We all pulled on our warm clothes and stood outside in the darkness and were astonished by the almost magical aurora. There is a warming hut to go into if needed while waiting for the show to start or resume. We stayed 5 nights and saw the aurora 4 of those nights...one night was an auroral storm and was fabulous. We stayed in one of the separate cabins which was well furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs and a kitchen with dishes etc. Breakfast was served in the main lodge large pleasant dining room with great views of the Alaska Range. The lodge and cabins were well heated and we were never cold indoors even when below 0 outside. It is about a 20 min drive from downtown Fairbanks and is convenient to other adventures like the Paws for Adventure sled dog rides close by We highly recommend the Lodge.Say Hi to Dawson the lodge dog when you go
