The North Pole Aurora Lodge is located in the heart of this small Fairbanks suburb. Bordered by towering spruce trees on three sides and the creek behind, the B&B offers tranquility and privacy to its guests. You’ll be 3 miles from the restaurants and grocery stores of the North Pole Plaza Shopping Center. Stop in at the world-famous Santa Claus House to celebrate Christmas anytime of the year, or stroll down the Beaver Springs Nature Trail, where you’re sure to see moose, lynx, beaver, muskrat and birds of all types. Twelve miles down the highway are the attractions of Fairbanks, where you can visit museums, art galleries and parks. Ask your B&B hosts about other tours and fishing trips in the area. With its clean, spacious rooms and private wooded location, the North Pole Aurora Lodge is a great place to stay during your family vacation in Alaska.
