This luxury resort provides private cottages, with river or garden views, that are ideal for a small family of four. Each cottage has two queen beds, a private patio, cable TV and coffeemaker. You’ll be surrounded by beautifully maintained lawns and flowers, but it’s the Chena River that will hold your gaze. The main lodge at the resort offers a spacious lobby for relaxing and visiting, a gift shop and a breakfast buffet area. The onsite restaurant, Chena’s Alaskan Grill, is a great place to enjoy contemporary Alaskan cuisine from a deck overlooking the river.

River’s Edge Resort is located a few minutes from the Fairbanks airport. You’re within a mile of several large shopping centers and grocery stores. Many of the area’s most popular attractions are a short drive away, including Pioneer Park, where kids can explore an old gold rush town, ride an antique carousel and play miniature golf. Other nearby attractions include a bird sanctuary, reindeer ranch and antique auto museum. With its charming, private cottages, the River’s Edge Resort is a memorable choice for your family vacation to Alaska.
