Pike's Waterfront Lodge

Great breakfast with variety options, a lot of free attractions in the hotel: own cinema, billiards, library, aurora museum, sledging for children, fireplace outside, excellent art gallery

Bungalows are awesome. Car rental now available onsite. Lots of activities available. Aurora viewing, Fire pits and chairs, Aurora theatre, xylophones, Nighttime lighting. Breakfast was good. Pikes landing restaurant/bar was great, try the "Hammertime" when they have it, it's enough for two. Cozy Bungalows!

The location was great for us and all the activities we had planned. The breakfasts were good and so convenient to have right there. Loved the cabins and the lobby calling us to let us know when the northern lights were out. The view of the river was awesome even though it was frozen. All the additional buildings, the reindeer pen, sledding, outdoor firewood and seating area, and more gives you things to do while at the lodge. Having Pike’s Landing next door is a plus!

We loved, loved, loved Pikes!!! My husband and I stayed here, but hope to bring our family, especially our grandchildren here someday. Beautiful property, loved visiting the Reindeer everyday, sitting in the Discovery Center after our dinners at Pike's Landing and just overall pretty family oriented!! And guess what... though there is a bit of light pollution, you can still catch the Aurora on a good night...I just had to use auto correct and the pics were AMAZING!! We would definitely stay here the next time we are here. They also have a fire pit for kids (or adults) to make smores! They have a red light therapy room, fire place on each floor, private cabins, an aurora library with a little theater showing a film on the aurora, and FREE breakfast (we didn't take advantage of that much because we always got back late from our tours and couldn't get up lol)... but I can't say enough good things about this place!! Pretty good value for the price you pay. Downtown fairbanks is just a short drive or Uber away. Attaching photos of the aurora taken AT Pike's on 3/25 in the morning... no enhancements, just auto correct to get rid of the light pollution...it was a most beautiful aurora! Also, everyone at Pike's was so friendly and sweet 😍😊

We were assigned one of the small cabins (#15) , which was clean & comfortable. The only irritant was that to open the refrigerator door in the mini- kitchen, you had to open the room door (!), letting in the freezing temperatures outside ! Otherwise, the room was ok. We did have a multi- unit fire pit outside our room. They do also offer a wake-up call if the northern lights appear. They also have a free shuttle bus to the nearby airport.
