The entire home has a romantic past, to help set you in the mood for your weekend.
The house was initially built as testament of love between a husband and a wife. Arthur Williams, a prosperous and successful Fairbanks businessman, built this luxury home as a token of love for his wife, Lucille. They were madly in love. It took two years for them to plan and build this house, the largest and most elegant in the Alaska Territory. The house featured unparalleled luxuries of the time: a greenhouse, tongue and groove flooring, and an indoor bathroom with running hot and cold water!
All of them evoke the romance and history of an earlier Alaska time. From a full service suite with kitchen and dining area, to rooms decorated with period typewriters and impressive furniture pieces built from exotic woods, you will be sure to find something you'll love!
The owners will frequently go out of their way to make sure your stay is special!
By giving them advanced notice, they'll happily set up romantic gestures for you. It would be nice to have them arrange a bottle of champagne waiting, as well!
Luxurious breakfasts are served in the morning for guests!
You can find yourself eagerly anticipating fresh made waffles or pancakes, fruit compote, bacon, and delicious maple syrup! Guests can't stop raving about how decadent the food is!
