Aurora Skyline Lodge | House in North Pole
1 Bedroom House in Badger, North Pole
Aurora Skyline Lodge is a spacious, cabin-inspired North Pole retreat designed for unforgettable group stays. With 5 bedrooms, a dedicated kids’ bunk room, and space for up to 16 guests, it’s ideal for families, friends, military visits, and holiday getaways. You’ll be just minutes from Santa Claus House and Eielson AFB, close to Fort Wainwright, and about 20 minutes from Fairbanks—giving you easy access to local attractions while still enjoying a peaceful Alaskan setting.
THE SPACE
Designed for large families and groups, the lodge offers 16 real sleeping spaces—no air mattresses:
* 2 king suites
* 2 queen bedrooms
* Kids’ bunk room with 3 full-over-twin bunk beds
* 2 sofa beds
You’ll also have 2.5 bathrooms, including two full bathrooms and a powder room, a fully equipped kitchen for group meals, and two smart TVs for cozy movie nights—even when it’s −30°F outside.
The highlight is the three-level patio, offering multiple places to enjoy Alaska’s dramatic skies. During aurora season, generally August 21 through April 21, step onto the upper decks, switch off the lights, and look up. Fairbanks tourism guidance often recommends staying at least three nights and watching during the late evening to improve your chances of seeing the northern lights, although every display depends on weather and solar activity.
In summer, the patios become a beautiful midnight-sun gathering place. Every bedroom includes blackout curtains, so you can still sleep comfortably during Alaska’s long daylight hours.
During the day, you’ll be minutes from Santa Claus House. Chena Hot Springs and dog-sledding experiences make memorable day trips, while downtown Fairbanks and Fairbanks International Airport are approximately 20 minutes away.
