The Farmhouse, originally located on a Fairbanks’ homestead, was moved to its current location in the 80’s. Right off the Trainor Gate entrance to Ft. Wainwright and just a few blocks away from the shopping center, the Farmhouse is the perfect space for visiting family or as a landing pad for those wanting to explore Fairbanks. This home is comfortable, charming, and just a bit quirky. It features subtle Alaskan decor, with billowy down comforters and pillows on each bed. Lots of bedrooms (not to mention three full bathrooms!) make this house a great choice for large groups. The Farmhouse grew over time, so the scale of the kitchen and dining area does not match the size of the house, but that’s perfect for travelers who have places to go and things to see! The bedroom on the main level functions as an office furnished with a desk and couch, but the couch can be folded down into a full/queen bed if you request it. Two bedrooms and one bath are upstairs, with three bedrooms, bathroom, and a laundry in the basement. Enjoy the spacious yard during the summer and fall, with a bbq grill, outdoor seating, and a fire pit. Wood and s’more sticks provided. Guests will have the entire house, as well as fenced-in yard all to themselves. The garage is not available for guest use and will be locked. There is space for about 4 vehicles in the driveway. I am available by text, message, and phone. I can stop by if needed, but will not be on-site. Family-friendly neighborhood with a park just one block away, and several schools in the area. Please drive slowly! The house is within walking distance to the shopping center; biking would be great (and you can secure your bike in the locking sunroom at night); plenty of parking space for your vehicles in the driveway. The house is easily accessible in the wintertime, on well-maintained city roads. A four-wheel-drive vehicle will not be necessary. A non-toxic home with healthy air is important to us. We have house plants to help with this and run a diffuser with essential oils. Towels and bedding are washed with fragrance-free detergent and vinegar for a softener; no dryer sheets are used, only wool cotton dryer balls. Oxi-clean is used for whitening. We know some people have sensitivities. Some things to note about our house are these: • Sheets are 100% cotton. • All of the beds have down comforters and down pillows. • There is no carpet in our home, except on the stairs. • Bleach products will be used in bathrooms, as a necessity. Natural non-toxic products are used everywhere else. • We do not allow pets, however, our neighbor’s dog may make a visit, and our own dog occasionally comes with us when we stop by. If you are highly sensitive to pets, please make note of this. If you have allergy concerns, please message us with any questions or special requests. Finally, this home is on a main road. The speed limit is low, but you will probably hear traffic. There is a train track across the street and a coal train makes regular deliveries to Ft. Wainwright during the week. It is not obnoxious, and does not run on the weekends, but we do want guests to be prepared for this. Every room has a fan for white noise.
