Description

ASK us about the new Aurora Cam service we are offering! WE have the unique service of Aurora Cams so that once we share the service with you, you will be able to see when activity is happening and KNOW when to go outside and get out there to see them, instead of having to stay up all night outside in the cold, you will know right when to go out!!!! This is part of the cost of our nightly rate, included in the price! CHECK OUT THE AURORA VIDEO RIGHT OVER OUR PROPERTY! Watch it till the end it gets really good! You can even keep on seeing them after you have left and gone home, if you wish to subscribe to the cam service after you have departed! We are waiting to welcome you here and give you an excellent, lovely experience staying with us! The services we provide, are hard to quantify, but I also act a lot like a concierge, even before you arrive and while you are traveling around the state of Alaska, since we have a lot of knowledge about places to go and activities. The time I take to send you the links to tours, etc, so that you have a great trip, is hard to put a price on. 
 
Please, with the way flights have been cancelled or changed at the last moment, and other factors which come up beyond your control. we strongly suggest that you buy travelers insurance in order to secure your funds, in case of a last minute cancellation. We have been very gracious over the last 2 years and have given refunds when we were not required to, but we cannot do this any longer. We are holding to a firm cancellation policy in the future. 
 
View the aurora video that my husband took of fantastic auroras right over the house in September! It is the 3rd photo frame one in. Then click on the arrow in the middle of the screen to play it. It shows the auroras Raging over our house! This is a common occurrence when the aurora activity is high. Our place is more than just the apartment, it is the location, and the beautiful surroundings in the grounds around it. AND IF you only need room for 2 people, we also have a 2nd smaller suite on the same 3 acres of land, listed on this site under # 1523206, the Bungalow suite. Flower gardens, a lawn with ornamental shrubs and trees, a small deck and grill, woods all around the perimeter for privacy, a walking, skiing or running trail right from the back of the property, a small greenhouse to sit in for a peaceful cup of tea.

The view from the window is a mix of spruce, birch and aspen trees. Flower gardens, including iris and lilacs, and an herb garden and greenhouse are on the property. In the Summer, we are close to the botanical garden at UAF, and in the Winter, if the auroras are out, they are very likely to be seen right over our house, with no city light pollution to dilute them.

  • Carol or Les Smallwood

Les & Carol Smallwood, have been residents in Fairbanks, Alaska, for over 34 years. This home you'd be staying at has been built by Les. The year purchased just indicates the year we purchased the piece of land it sits on. Located among aspen and spruce trees, the apartment suite is on the lower level and is newly remodeled. We have one dog (friendly and will not bother you). We love our location and privacy and hope you'll consider staying with us. We look forward to making your stay memorable.
Why Carol and Les Smallwood chose the West side of Fairbanks
Our place is Not located in Ester, it is located only 3 miles from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, (UAF) on the West side of town in Fairbanks. This property is a total of 3 acres that was purchased by Les Smallwood in 1991, and then he began the process of clearing the woods and building the house you see today on it. We picked this part of town because it is near the University, doesn't have a lot of commercial business cluttering and hiding the natural beauty of the area, it is private and quiet, and it is still very close and convenient to everything in town. It is also located within the best schools' districts in the city, ensuring that our kids would go to the best public schools available.
What makes this Apartment unique
https://youtu.be/D6KEo664LW4
Living with woods all around means privacy, and that you may get visits from the local moose. The air is fresh, and the water tastes good right out of the faucet, no filtering needed. If you are here in the Summer, the days are long and beautiful. In the Winter, the auroras are clear and strong, without any city light pollution. VIDEO of the AURORAS during an exceptional evening on Sept 28, 2017, by my husband, Les Smallwood, looking towards the house, RIGHT OVER THE VRBO. Of course, the auroras raged way longer than the short video represented here. It is typical when there is a night of high activity, on clear nights that the auroras can be seen right outside the door, if you just walk out and look up. Sometimes you have to look North, but most of the time, they arc right over the house. Enjoy this short video.
