NORTHERN LIGHTS & CREAMER'S FIELD
The open fields across the street give you wide-sky aurora viewing when conditions cooperate, just a couple of miles from downtown. Creamer's Field is a year-round favorite for wildlife viewing and birdwatching, and in winter for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Want darker skies? Murphy Dome (~26 mi / ~45 min) and Cleary Summit (~22 mi / ~35 min) are classic aurora drives.

A coffee shop is right next door (their breakfast burritos are out of this world!).

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have private access to:
• Entire ground-level apartment
• Self check-in via keypad smart lock
• Right half of the shared driveway (2 tandem spots) with your own block heater outlet

Shared with guests staying upstairs in The Bear Den:
• Arctic entryway/corridor (boots and coats welcome)
• Laundry room (free washer/dryer, 8 AM–10 PM)
• Fenced backyard with patio and propane grill (8 AM–10 PM)
• Wi-Fi network and trash bins

In-town living: This historic 1948 duplex has a second guest unit upstairs (The Bear Den), and sound carries more than in a newer building — footsteps, doors and running water. The full-bed bedroom faces the coffee shop next door, which can be active during business hours, and we're by College Road, so you may hear some traffic. Quiet hours are 10 PM–8 AM.

A 1948 quirk: The queen bedroom has an original door to the shared corridor and laundry room. It stays deadbolted and chained (it locks only from the bedroom side), with a curtain and sound blanket to keep corridor noise out. It's only 70" tall and 22" wide with a 10" step down, so please use your front door instead.

Pets must be friendly with people and other dogs, leashed in all shared areas (including the fenced backyard), never left unattended, and kept off the furniture. Please pick up after your pet every time.

Parking & plug-ins: Park on the RIGHT half of the driveway, one vehicle behind the other. More than 2 vehicles, a trailer or an oversized vehicle? Message us first. In winter, plug in your block heater at 20°F (−7°C) or colder using the outlet on your side; an extension cord is provided.

Laundry: Free washer/dryer in the shared laundry room, 8 AM–10 PM. Cleaners have priority on checkout days from 10 AM until they finish (5 PM at the latest). The boiler and hot pipes are in this room — no unattended children.

Winter at Rosella: Keep every door and window closed and latched — an open door can freeze the pipes within hours. Our snow crew may ask you to move your vehicle, sometimes on short notice. Walkways are cleared, though ice can still form, and heavy window frost is normal (please wipe up meltwater). If the smart lock struggles in deep cold, message us for the backup key.

No air conditioning.

No smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, indoors or out.

Exterior security cameras cover the driveway and backyard. There are no cameras inside the unit or in the shared corridor or laundry room.

Wildlife: Moose wander through Fairbanks, even in town. Please give them plenty of space — moose may become aggressive.
