The hosts went above & beyond. The assorted specialty breakfast that Jill made every day was so tasty. I stayed in the Garden room and it was cozy. I highly recommend a stay here.

We ended up being the only guests for our entire stay and it was a great experience! We came in November to do an arctic circle tour and, obviously and as expected, there is not much to do in Fairbanks in November. The House had great history and being able to explore it (with the staff's permission) made this historian's stay extremely memorable. Breakfast was prepared for us every morning and it was far and above the best meals we had the entire trip. We loved every single part of this experience.

Delicious breakfasts prepared by Margo, Lisa, and Scott greeted me in the mornings after a restful night in this beautiful restored historic mansion. Owners Lisa and Scott are terrific and fascinating hosts. Highly recommended.

This review is 5 stars only because we had Margo. Margo is an employee, she doesn’t own this B&B and she may or may not be there when you book it, so I would say this is a review qualifier. Margo was amazing, cooked the best breakfasts, provided all the information we needed, offered to drive us around, she does above and beyond her job at this hotel. She even went to the store to buy us specific dishes for breakfast. Never had that before in any B&B. This is a historic house, almost like a museum, where every room is decorated with antiques and where you can learn a lot about the history of Fairbanks and Alaska just from going from room to room. It is really fascinating. The decor is not modern, the bathrooms are old, but that’s the whole point. There is no TV anywhere in the house, but then again, there wasn’t a TV back in 1916 when this house was built. I would also say that the heating system is amazing. The kitchen is part of the public space here, which is unusual for a B&B, and that’s because no one lives here. It’s fully stocked with snacks and drinks and everything you need. We got special treats for our stay in our room as well, which had a fully functioning kitchen for our own private stay. The piano hasn’t been tuned since the Raegen administration, but did I say the house is full of antiques? Location is perfect, 2 minutes walking distance from downtown Fairbanks. Parking is not an issue unless the place is packed in the summer, but we’re there in September. The

Very nice, especially when we were able to take the tour of the entire house really gave us a feel of a real bed and breakfast. Enjoyed being taken back in history.

Margo is the best; she is so sweet and helpful! Just in a sec, you can talk with her like an old friend! We enjoyed the stay at Garden room, personally I like this a half-attached room which we can enter from side door and also we can walk to the dinning area through basement…we had a taste of ancient culture here..room is clean; and breakfast is simple while you can have many combination choices..unlike morder hotels; we can have access to the food and soft drinks anytime at kitchen..plus, you can meet and chat to other travelers and share your trip experience

Historic gem
Loved this B&B. Property was beautiful and we loved the historic nature. Bed was super comfy and breakfast was excellent. Only issue is be forewarned, the clawfoot tub, while really cool, was very difficult to shower in. But we managed and I would highly recommend this property!

We enjoyed the vintage charm. Margo made us an excellent hearty breakfast and shared lots about the house and it’s history. So interesting. Our room was the Georgia Lee and the only thing it lacked was an adapter with USB ports. I fortunately had one with me for my hearing aid charger and phone charger! It was a fun stay! Thanks!

An amazing jewel of a place in Fairbanks
This was the end of our 3 week trip exploring Alaska, After some questionable hotels along the way, the Heritage House was a real treat, and a highlight we talk about all the time. The house itself is ornate, beautiful, and very comfortable (if very quirky and unique, this is no modern BnB!) Our host Margot was one of the best people we encountered over 3 weeks of travel! She went out of her way to make our stay pleasant and was super attentive. The house is nicely located, easy walking all over down town. We may return to Fairbanks just to stay here again!

Historical home
The staff was extremely friendly and we enjoyed our breakfast conversations. The shower in our bathroom was a challenge as it was meant for very short people and there was nothing to hold on to to keep one's balance. Room was quaint and comfortable. The B&B was uniquely decorated with period pieces--very nicely done.

Very cool place to stay in Fairbanks -- loved the historical nature of the house and the coffee/candy bar amenities. It's walkable to downtown; the home itself is perfect! I know the owners can do nothing about this, but the surrounding area isn't as well manicured (some homes a little run down, overgrown lawns, etc) but I believe it's only appearances and it seemed safe when we walked downtown.

Wonderful time
This is an amazing Heritage home built in 1916 and decorated to suite. Each room is named after a local historical figure and each is decorated uniquely. The location is perfect as actually in walking distance of good restaurants, and the Chena river. Everything else is an easy drive.

The property was centrally located and incredibly comfortable. Everything was clean and cozy. The house is amazing!!!! The ceilings are from another era and it is as if you are staying in a mansion of yore. It is also full of heritage items. Tulsey was a wonderful host. Breakfasts were good. A few minor complaints: there were no tissues in the apartment, the towels were threadbare and the chairs so wobbly you were afraid to sit on them. But all in all I would highly recommend the place and definitely stay there again -- especially if I were staying for a long period of time.
