Fodor's Expert Review River's Edge Resort

4200 Boat St., Fairbanks, Alaska, 99709, USA

If you want the privacy of a cottage, a bit of elbow room, and the amenities of a luxury hotel, you'll find them all at this resort on the bank of the Chena River. The individual cottages, some of them fronting the river and surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, have patios or garden spaces. On summer evenings you can sit outside and watch canoes, rafts, and powerboats pass by. Chena's Alaskan Grill serves lunch and dinner at the lodge, which has eight executive suites. 

PROS

  • prime Chena River location
  • private cabins
  • shuttle service to both the airport and railroad terminal
