Great viewing place and fantastic host! - Nice cozy cabin. The host was wonderful. You can see the lights from inside, but you see much more of the sky and lights outside. The host would go out and check for the lights and report if they were out, how bright and if they were moving. Outside has plenty of space and places to take great pictures. The host took pictures of everyone out under the lights and sent them to us. She even helped us with our camera settings and setting up perfect shots. There are multiple places with cabins or some sort of place to warm up in while watching for the lights. What makes this viewing place different is the host. My family had a wonderful time and would book Lucky Bear again.

Perfect Family Trip with Stunning Aurora Views - We successfully saw the aurora, and my family and I had the perfect trip to Fairbanks. The lodge was very cozy and faced north, allowing us to watch the aurora dance from the horizon across the entire sky. I highly recommend this for family trips!

Gracious and knowledgeable hosts - Mike and Stellar did a great job giving us every opportunity to see Aurora and provided great photography advice. Knowing the weather and current conditions they were able to take us to alternative locations to observe. They did an amazing job keeping us updated as the evening progressed. The cabin was a great place to warm up and had amazing views. Our hosts were gracious and great to work with.

Magical Night Under the Northern Lights - My family and I had an amazing aurora night! The sky was filled with dancing auroras, constantly changing shapes—absolutely perfect. The cabin was warm and cozy, with a fantastic view facing right where the auroras appeared. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a magical experience!

I loved that the lodge... - I loved that the lodge had a screen showing aurora movement from the camera at UA (I think)! It was also a cozy spot to wait while we waited for movement, and Stella was quick about running in to get anyone that wasn’t already outside when there was a flare. Stella also had a great eye for pointing out where to look and got great photos of us with the lights in the background.
