Fabulous!!! This B & B is a real find in downtown Fairbanks. Built in 1916, this is a gem of a Victorian home with claw foot bathtubs, antique furniture, leaded glass windows, and complete with all the modern conveniences. Van, our terrific hostess, served us gourmet breakfasts on lace place mats, with fancy plates and silverware. She also baked a... More

I came to Alaska for a contract position not knowing a soul, but the owners Van and Bill (and the ever present mascot, Mabel the dog) were able to make me feel absolutely welcomed and at home with their warmth and friendliness. It truly felt like my home away from home for my 4-month stay in the dead of winter.... More

We spent 2 nights at Heritage House summer of 2012. We had read all those great reviews and thought we could not go wrong booking a couple of nights here. Boy where we wrong. Now it was not all bad. The host was very nice and the breakfast each morning was good. But there were some things that really turned... More

We were very disappointed to receive this review on several levels. Primarily because the guest did not feel comfortable enough to bring their concerns to us so we could take immediate steps to improve their Alaska Heritage House experience - especially with respect to cleanliness and ventilation. It has been almost 11 months since their stay and in the interim... More

The Alaska Heritage House is a wonderful experience in Fairbanks. Rooms are early 20th century decor updated for comfort and convenience and are immaculately clean. Van Newstrom creates unique, delicious and generous breakfasts as well as baked treats for guests on a daily basis and she and Bill Albee welcome you into their Inn and are there to help you... More

I sometimes hesitate to stay in a bed and breakfast because you never know what you are going to get. I've been to B&Bs where I was completely ignored and others where I felt I couldn't escape attention (even when I wanted to). Van and Bill have figured out the right combination of welcoming and respect for privacy. This is... More

My stay at this Grand home was and may always be my favorite Bed and Breakfast (in fairness it is so much more). My first night I was greeted with home made stew and a group playing board games that I thought they were friends & family but found out most of them were just so happy to be in... More

I can say without a doubt that this B&B was the most comfortable and pleasant stay I've ever experienced. Van and Bill were available, yet not unduly fussy. The breakfasts were unique and really tasty. In fact, one morning we enjoyed some of the "catch" of other guests. Our last day, Van made some Spain-inspired hot chocolate that almost made... More

I stayed two nights in Billie's guest house. For more than ten years, I stayed a number of guest houses all over the world, and I would say, this is one of the best. I love Billie's welcoming and coffee, and its surroundings are beautiful, and I could make it to see the northern lights!!! Thanks Billie for all.

I has a wonderful stay at the Alaska Heritage House B&B, and very much enjoyed the super friendly host, yummy breakfasts, and the charm of this warm, delightful house (filled with antiques). Everything was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. The house is very quiet at night, and offers a lot of privacy for the guests as well. I especially enjoyed... More
