Fairbanks sits directly under the auroral oval, which makes it one of the most reliable places on Earth to see the aurora between late August and April. Our Mountain Top cabin was chosen specifically for its viewing position, and every property is a short drive from Fairbanks aurora tour pickups, Chena Hot Springs, and Denali day trips.
