A Taste of Alaska Lodge
This bed and breakfast is located just out of town, off Chena Hot Springs Road. The beautiful grounds and solitude make the short drive worth it. Rooms are available in the main building, and two private outbuildings are also available for reservations. Breakfast is provided in the Main Lodge each morning for all guests.
A Taste of Alaska Lodge is seated on over 200 acres. This isolation makes it a prime place for viewing the Aurora Borealis in the winter months. Dog sled tours are also available. Summer getaway guests can enjoy activities like hiking and wildlife viewing.
Chena Hot Springs Resort
This resort boasts a myriad of activities for a weekend getaway. The main attraction is the naturally hot mineral lake, which can be enjoyed year round, even if it's twenty degrees below zero. An indoor pool and hot tub, an ice museum, horse riding excursions, and beautiful views of the Aurora Borealis can also be enjoyed here. The resort has an on-site massage therapist available to make your weekend truly a relaxing one. There is also a greenhouse operated year round, which provides the resort's restaurant with fresh produce.
Chena Hot Springs Resort is located about 55 miles outside of Fairbanks. The resort offers discount rates for Alaska residents and military members. Accommodations are basic, but all rooms offer unlimited use of the pool and outdoor mineral pool.
Touch of Wilderness Bed & Breakfast Inn
Looking for a weekend getaway in which you actually get away from Fairbanks? This bed and breakfast is located off the Parks Highway near Healy, Alaska, approximately a two and a half hour drive from Fairbanks. The highway runs along the Nenana River, making it a scenic drive no matter what month of the year.
Breakfast is available for guests in the morning, and you can also request a box lunch for later in the day.
Summer visitors will enjoy the bed and breakfast's proximity to the entrance to Denali National Park and Preserve (about 20 miles further south on the highway). Guided ATV tours can be booked through the bed and breakfast, along with rafting tours through Denali Outdoor Center, a local reputable company.
The winter months are a bit quieter, as many of the amenities near the park are closed. According the Touch of Wilderness website, some rooms have a two night minimum reservation requirement. If beautiful scenery and solitude are on your checklist for a weekend getaway, a winter trip to Touch of Wilderness Bed and Breakfast Inn is the perfect choice.
