My husband and I stayed here in Feb 2012 for 4 nights, our flight got in, in the afternoon and the first thing we did was grocery shop, we ate every meal at "home" for five days. The kitchen was perfect it had everything we needed. The room was great! It really was a studio with two beds, hooks right... More

The perfect place to see the Aurora. The rooms are wonderful - great view, very well equipped, very comfortable. there is a very well equipped kitchen, so bring food with you. We stayed at the second floor - and it was perfect. It is aboout half hour drive from town, in the middle of nature. Great place ! More

What a wonderful place! Mok and Logan have done a spectacular job making this the perfect place to view the Aurora Boralis. Mok was a wealth of information about the Aurora, camera settings, things to do in the area and more...We stayed 3 days and saw the Aurora 2 of the 3 days. The walkie talkie system is great! Also...

I stayed a total of 6 nights at Aurora Borealis Lodge, where I had my own kitchen, windows facing the north sky for viewing the lights, and they give you a wake up beep on the in-room walkie talkies if the Aurora is active. There are outside porches and decks for setting up your tripod for photographing the Northern Lights,... More

I came to ABL from Italy just to enjoy the northern lights. It could appear quite funny, by the moment that there are so many places in Northern Europe which, at least in terms of latitude, could be fitted for this purpose. But it is not true. Alaska, in March and April records the minimum of the yearly precipitations and... More

We just got back from a wonderful 4-day stay at the Aurora Borealis Lodge. Mok was a wonderful host and took the time to show us our room. The lodge is located up on a hill with the windows (which were really large and perfect for viewing the lights from the comforts of your room) facing the North. Sometimes the... More

I so enjoyed my stay at Aurora Borealis Lodge in March 2011 that I decided to return in February 2012. Felt like I was coming home to 'my' upstairs room on Cleary Summit which provides stunning views to the north, northwest, east and south. Stayed for a week and once again enjoyed the panoramic view both day and night, with... More

We stayed at the ABL on Feb. 9-11. Accommodation were very good, very clean, like new. Only draw back I can come up with is the bed pillows were soft, flat, and lumpy. If we had been staying any longer I would have picked up myself a med - firm bed pillow. As much as they charge you would think... More

We wanted to see the aurora and the reviews said this place was good...the reviews weren't wrong! Mok and Akiko welcomed us and made sure our stay was enjoyable. We had a hurried trip and were there only two nights and one full day. We saw a mild aurora the first night and a pretty spectacular display the second. Mok... More
