Nice cabins with a pretty view of the river.
Vern
What a great place to stay
Cheryl
Very clean and well kept cottages. Peaceful setting! Only minor negative is slow Wi-Fi. Would definitely stay here again.
Tami
Great staff and clean room
Jeanne C.
Need to ask if people want fresh linens. I was throwing my used towels on the floor. They never picked them up. I had to ask for fresh towels.
Hunter
Loved it I recommend staying each time!!!
Cindy
Breakfast was charge , was no with the room like ke most place
William
Older property. Pictures online must have taken a long time ago. There were cobwebs all over. Walking on the sidewalk to get to our “cabin” the bushes were overgrown and hanging in the way. We did not eat at the restaurant.
Edward
Staying in our on little cottage on the river was great. The staff was very helpful as was the shuttle service. We would definitely stay here again.
Kelly
The cabins are well maintained and the beds were clean and comfortable.
Joseph
Great staff that was helpful when I had to stay because of an airline issue. Very friendly. Good food at restaurant. Would stay there again:
Robert
Staff was very helpful and polite. We enjoyed our cabin and the peace and quite.
Mark
The individual cabins are cool the view was nice of river. Restaurant was nice to have on site and was good food.
Molly
Bathroom was great. Sink and vanity were great. Full daylight required dark curtains which prevented fresh air and required air conditioning to avoid stuffiness. Outside temp to 49 overnight. Dilemma. Fan helped a lot. Bed, bedding and pillows only so-so. Serviceable. Privacy tricky because walkway to other units and restaurant right by window and door. Lots of conversation overheard. All this doesn’t change the fact that I would return here in a heartbeat.
Robert
Secluded location, but close to everything you need. Staff is friendly and helpful. Second time there, and will definitely stay again!
Jacob
Excellent accommodations!
Helen
It was right on the chena river, quaint little cabins, it was great. I recommend it!
Janet
O breakfast included and room was very warm and AC was very noisy
Shylaja
Very nice property. All the amenities are good. Especially the shuttle service was good. We missed the shuttle from the rail depot, since the resort name was not on the shuttle and the website didn’t say there was a shuttle from the rail depot. When we called from the station nobody picked up at the front desk. Otherwise everything was good. They dropped us at the tour site, museum etc at no extra charge
Cheri
Love the privacy of the cabins.
Kaye
Such a cute property! Stayed 2 nights.
Kimberly
Not prepared to service start of Season large group travelers
Need to keep up with coffee service detail ran out of two self service pots provided for two tour busses, since no where close to pick up quick breakfast at 6am provide something for guests other than 28$ breakfast which there is no time to appreciate
Front desk always seemed confused.

Loved it here. We’ll be back

The room was just what we needed and it was easy to grab food from a near by Fred Myer and close to the airport!
Judy
Best place to stay in Fairbanks
Shuttle was not available. They paid for my Uber and gave me a free breakfast voucher
Michele
Great cabins
TIMothy

Natalie
Super cute cottage room!
sarah
very happy with stay and our room staff. i.would recommend for guests. close to airport , important to us.
Jacqueline
Could use better cleaning and more comfortable beds, but otherwise very cozy.
Sam
Generally pretty nice place and wonderful staff.
Laura
Stay here! Very friendly and accommodating!
Airport shuttle to hotel was easy. They even shuttled us to Princess lodge next morning no charges. Rooms: quaint individual cottages, very clean and comfortable. We were happier here than at Fairbanks Princess Lodge! Breakfast buffet was good. Don't miss Museum of North, Soapy Smith Pioneer Restaurant downtown (owner is long time Alaskan and shares a wealth of info + good food, Pioneer Park for Salmon Bake and don't miss the Golden Heart Revue at the Palace Theatre

I did not like paying nearly 22$ for a continental breakfast that would be free at most motels
David
Ok need to get water clear. Staying at Resort down the road water is totally clear.
Michael
Nice place with cute cabins along the river
Jennifer
The cabin was quaint but well worn and due for a refresh Overall if was fine
Brad
Clean and friendly
asghar
This is more of a cottage residence with charming cottages not much here in Fairbanks just a hub for flying out or renting car to explore other parts of Alaska
Robert
My cottage was very clean and comfortable. Rivers edge is in a very good location in town walkable to stores or easy to drive two different things in the community. I also felt safe there I would go back there again
Debra
Front desk girl was extremely rude.
MELISSA
The property was adorable! The cottages were clean and quaint. All the extra necessities were available in the room - microwave, fridge, coffee maker. We enjoyed walking along the path by the river. The pathways lined by hedges reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. The cottages each had their own beautiful hanging baskets as well as the main lodge. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was amazing and so delicious! We will definitely return again.
Cindy
Good other than breakfast
It's a nice place but if you want breakfast, it costs $21.95 per person and it was about equal to what we usually get for free at other hotels.
lareita
The cabins were unique instead of a standard hotel. I called for a shuttle from the airport, and I waited for 30 min. (location is 15 min away) I called again and got front desk voicemail. Left VM. Called again 20 min later and asked if the shuttle was on their way. (By this time it was a 50 minute wait. I could have walked there by then.) They apologized and said to take a taxi and they would pay the taxi upon arrival. They did. Gave me a coupon for a complimentary breakfast.
janice
I had a wonderful night in River Edge. I was in a cute cottage. The shuttle driver was great.
Heather
This was the nicest of our three hotel stays in Alaska. I loved the privacy and quiet of the individual cabins. There was a shuttle service to and from all the airport and train station, and a restaurant on site adding to the convenience. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends or family.
William
The low key location on the river!
phyllis
While it wasn't convenient to anything, property and staff were so pleasant. It would be nice to have a meal choiceor even cup of tea, water-after breakfast. Wine n cheese hour on beautiful grounds would be beneficial and profitable!
Christie
Parking was a bit wonky but other than that enjoyed our stay. Nice not sharing walls. The patio outside the cabin was nice for breakfast. Will stay again. The RV park looked very nice as well. The restaurant was speedy but the food and atmosphere were nice.
charlene
Great big room. 2nd level no elevator. On site restaurant was absolutely marvelous
Steven
This was a nice place, quaint comes to mind. The breakfast buffet was above average. Accommodating with airport shuttle needs.
Stephanie
I loved staying in the cabin - I had my own bathroom, and no noisy neighbors! And waking up to the birds and squirrels was just so nice!!
Ehab
Great value
Good classic hotel near the airport and the city. Great customer service
Susan
This was a nice option close to the airport and easy shuttle offerings. The breakfast buffet was worth the charge. All staff were friendly and helpful.
Iris
Nice welcome
We were able to check-in a bit early which was very convenient. Our bush plane flight came in at noon from Eagle and our flight to Seattle did not leave until 12:15am so we needed a room for just a few hours to shower and repack.
Douglas
Just a delightful experience
Douglas
Nice place to walk beside the river.
Velvet
Nestled along the Chena River with a restaurant on sight. (Dinner only)
james r
was great
Ruth
Cozy cottage setting, but needed total black out curtains for the windows. No late dining offered for late arrivals, and the limited breakfast buffet was $21 pp
Matthew
A check-in staff member was wearing a mask. I am older and have difficulty hearing. When I asked her to repeat things I couldn’t hear to understand, she became irritated, rude, and sarcastic. Interact with the same person in the morning, and their behavior continues.
Jenna
Great place
Jennifer
Nice place along the river
Clean room, nice property along the river. We enjoyed the walking path near the water. Staff was friendly. We used the shuttle a few times, which was very convenient.
Hengam
Restaurant was not as shown on picture
Michele
Cute place!
This was a nice place for the location on the river. The cabins are cute although dated. Restaurant had a limited menu but was still tasty!
jonathan
A truly great little gem. I had a cabin near the lodge and it was wonderful. I was in town for work so I didnt really get to spend all that much time there but I can tell you this, the time I did spend there was quiet, tranquil, and relaxing. I worked 19 hours the first day I was in town and I couldnt have found a better place to get home to afterwards.
Princess Alexis
Our stay was beautiful. Very peaceful and quiet. Would definitely book again!
Steve
Property was clean, convenient, kept up, close parking, great lobby, nice breakfast. Enjoyed our stay.
Jayne
Very clean, quiet, love the separate cabins.
James
Great Stay
Great stay here. Reserved two cottages, and got two connected ones, which was great. Had AC, which was a nice feature in Fairbanks for a hot day like we had. Nice atmosphere of the property and really close to the Chena river. Good beds. Hot water. Plenty of space. Wife loved it. Would stay here again.
Dawn
I always enjoy staying at River's Edge. They ARE cashless which was inconvenient when I have my other half $20 for breakfast. The garden cottages have nice semi-private back patios. The grounds are clean, they always hang some beautiful hanging flower baskets! I love the walk along the river and around the camp ground.
Jennifer
Night staff was amazing when we checked in. The little cabin was nice, nothing fancy, but comfy and laid back. The restaurant on site was pricey was delicious and great staff. The morning staff that checked us out was rude and unhelpful. If it weren't for the way they treated us, this would be a 5 star review. Very disappointed with the 2 of them at the front desk. You never know what someone is going thru, not everyone is a tourist on vacation. Treat people kindly.
vicki
Beautiful place with very professional and nice staff …have stayed before and would stay here again.
Sanguan
Good service, very quiet for stay here, thanks you very much
Larisa
The rudest owner! Go somewhere else.
Randel
Great
Jennifer
The cabins are actually very spacious and comfortable. We had a problem with mosquitoes in the room. We tried to get them out, but the cabins have very high ceilings. It is a outdoor in Alaska setting, but perhaps some weather stripping on the sliding door would help keep them out.
Tori
Affordable clean!
Vic
Amazing property next to a river. Great staff and service. A bummer that theyre in the flight path of planes taking off from the airport but the cotages are quiet, safe, clean and private.
Judy B.
Our room was located in the main lodge. It was nicely appointed and very clean. Would definitely recommend.
Lloyd
Quiet, quaint place to stay! Great areas for serene walks along river. Highly recommend!
Francheska
Everything’s was good.
Deidre
Right on the river, restaurant and bar on property. Close to airport
Francheska
Perfect
Joe
Love the individual cabins with a patio. The sidewalks made it easy to see the property and walk to restaurant. The food was good. Everyone was very friendly.
Sourabh
The hotel room we received was infested with bed bugs. My wife got severe bed bugs bites all over her body. We have never had such an experience at any hotel in the past.
And bed bugs wasn't the only problem in our room. Our bathroom was filled with bees (10 bees) all throughout our stay. Although we didn't get a bee bite, that could have been very dangerous for us.
We have detailed images about both of our issues but it seems like we cannot attach images to Expedia reviews these days?

Judith
We wer 2 couples traveling together so they gave us a river side cottage with 2 rooms. Staff was great. Shuttle from train station and paid taxi to airport because it was early in the morning. Ate dinner at the Alaskan Grill and it was very good. They are open until 10pm which is nice since the train arrived at 8pm. Wake up call to view the aurora.
Margaret
Loved the fact that there was a van at our disposal to take us to and from where we wanted to go. Great time . Lovely trip!! The grounds were lovely!
Sheridan
Great stay. Very secluded and had all the amenities I needed.
Verified traveler
Just OK
Only stayed one night prior to our cruise/tour began the following day. We arrived around midnight to check in. The desk gal didn’t think we could carry our luggage upstairs so she switched our room ? We were in a cottage now- it was difficult to find it in the dark but we finally did. We were supposed to have a king size bed but got 2 doubles. The bed was comfortable but the room needs updating. The breakfast seemed overpriced. Overall it was OK.
Raz
Unique area but very limited area to walk around private building are a plus
Peter
Very nice surroundings
Edward
Cabins were cute and private. Girl at night was a little short. The guy was cool.
Loretta J
I appreciate the river surrounding very much. Very clean room and very courteous staff, including the food service staff.
Michael
Staff was excellent. We had some transportation issues and they happily worked will us to resolve the issue. Property is on the older side but the individual cabins were good.
Andrew
