General Information
We specialize in 'Bush Style' hospitality. The Inn, located in the center of South Fairbanks is a bit of Fairbanks history itself. Until 1987 it was a bordello known as 'Ruthie's Place'. The house, which is well soundproofed, provides an excellent environment for a good night's sleep, as sauna and Jacuzzi can help you relax after a hard day of vacationing.

The yard has a picnic area for y our enjoyment, ample parking space, and the nicest trees in South Fairbanks. We are just two blocks from a bus stop, and provide free transportation to and from the airport and train station.

Small private tours are available upon request.
