The Arctic Circle is approximately 150 miles north of Fairbanks. We can recommend several tours to the Arctic Circle; please ask our Front Desk.

It is 1.2 miles; it is an easy walk along Hoselton or we offer shuttle rides for $10 per person round trip. Please check with the Front Desk for the schedule.

No – It is named for Lloyd Pike who homesteaded the area, though he was known for having a rather toothy demeanor. He sold part of his land to the Airport and built Pike’s Landing in 1959 on the other part. In 1967, Pike’s Landing was washed down the Chena River in the flood, was rebuilt as the log structure you see today in 1969, was then sold to Don Pruhs in 1979 who sold it to Guy and Lillian Kasnick in 1989 and was finally sold to Jay Ramras in 1999. Jay built Pike’s Waterfront Lodge Hotel in 2000.

Yes, in the lobby gift shop. The gift shop is open 24 hours a day. We also sell frozen food and ice cream in the gift shop. You may use the in room microwave to heat up the food.

Pike’s Landing is open daily form 11am – 9pm for lunch and dinner service. Summer guest may choose seating on the deck (weather dependent) and winter patrons may prefer to sit by the fire.

Check-in is 4 p.m.; check-out is 11 a.m.

On availability, we do offer a one hour late check out (up to noon) for an additional $15.00 per room plus tax. We don’t always have room availability for late check out due to occupancy and/or room assisgnments or requests.

We welcome your dogs to Pike’s Waterfront Lodge. There is a limit of (2) dogs per room. All that you need to do is let us know that you are bringing a dog, and we will book you into a dog friendly room. We charge a $25.00 NON refundable pet deposit per day. We expect that you will take good care of your dog which includes not leaving your dog unattended in your room or in the hotel and that your dog will take care of you- making sure that you clean up after him or her. We have special rooms set aside on the first floor of both buildings for dogs and their owners since some of our other guests are allergic to pets. Unfortunately, if your dog persuades you to sneak him or her into a non-pet room, you will be responsible for at least $300 in cleaning charges. At this time Pike’s Waterfront Lodge does not accept any other types of animals.

They are visible when the sky is dark (fall, winter, spring) and clear, with a low or minimal moon and with the appropriate solar activity. If you would like to be awakened for a display, please let the front desk know.  We often have Aurora specials during the fall and springs season– be sure to check them out!
