What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We had an amazing stay at Bear lodge on our motorcycle trip to coldfoot and back. Rooms and bathrooms are very clean. The rooms are huge with lot of space. We never felt cramped with our motorcycle gear. Our room had a small fridge, coffee maker and a microwave. Staff was very friendly and polite.”
“Stayed at Bear Lodge over a summer weekend and the rooms were very clean, spacious and comfortable. The bedding was modern, and the mattresses and pillows quite cozy. The AC worked great, which was necessary for the hot Fairbanks heat. Outside our window we enjoyed seeing greenery and pretty flowers. It’s clear management takes great care of the grounds. The building looks freshly painted, the grass is manicured and the flowers with the old time trucks are a great addition. Staff members were respectful and friendly. It was also quiet which was great. We look forward to staying here again!”
