About this place River's Edge Resort

River's Edge Resort is a cottage-style hotel on the bank of the Chena River in Fairbanks. It is a mainstream property listed as gay-friendly, not a gay hotel. Guests stay in individual cottages and suites, and there is an on-site restaurant with river views. It is popular in summer with tour groups heading to Denali and the Interior. The airport and Pioneer Park are a short drive away, and so are the riverboat tours. In winter it is a common base for aurora viewing, though you will still want to drive out of town for darker skies. It holds a 4.1 rating from over 500 Google reviews.

★☆☆☆☆

Smoke detector not working, very small towels, door not sealing properly with gaps, spider webs on ceiling in all corners and on fan. This is a 1 star cottage at best in any state, but expected more for price in peak season. Would not stay again. Their restaurant is overpriced with a small river at 54 bucks that is worth 30 at best. Not recommending to any travelers unless you can't get downtown, as it lacks good walking options, or must use Lyft or other transportation.

We loved the shuttle service to/from the Alaska Railroad station and the Riverboat Discovery boat cruise. Thank you! Our original room had no heat, and we were disappointed not to have been offered a different room until the next day. The resort had just recently opened for the season, so we guess that the heater had not been checked before it was assigned to us. The front desk staff on the second day was apologetic and moved us to a new room as soon as we returned.

Dont stay here if you have any work to do on the internet. Its like the 90s even though they are in the middle of town. Very disappointing.

We had a wonderful stay at River's Edge. Comfortable rooms. Polite and helpful desk staff. Beautifully decorated inn (I only saw the first floor). Great breakfast buffet.

An easy choice for a small quaint stop close to the airport.

Solid clean cabins with ample privacy and courteous service. Caters to tourists in the summer but a unique place by the Chena if you’re in town!
