Beautiful Oasis
Steven’s place was a beautiful and comfortable oasis close enough to enjoy Fairbanks and the surrounding area, but far enough away for peace and serenity. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to make our stay great!

Kids love it
We loved our stay at Steven’s place! It was the perfect size for our large family group to stay for the weekend. The moment we arrived, we wished we could have stayed longer. The kids loved the backyard and the toys provided in one of the bedrooms. We enjoyed the sauna and sitting on the deck. It was an all around beautiful place and would recommend to other families looking to gather in Fairbanks.
