Christmas lives here year-round. Santa`s Timber Haus is a brand-new Alaskan cabin-style home in North Pole — 5 bedrooms sleeping 13, three levels of private patios with northern-lights views up top, and Santa Claus House just minutes down the road. Eielson AFB and Ft. Wainwright are minutes away; downtown Fairbanks and the airport are about 20 minutes.

THE SPACE
Two king bedrooms, two queen bedrooms, and a bunk room (2 full/twin bunk beds) plus a sofa bed — comfortable beds for 13, not air mattresses. Two full bathrooms, a full kitchen for group dinners, and smart TVs for movie nights at -30°F, all finished in warm Alaskan cabin style.

From late August through April this is aurora country: head up to the top patio, lights off, eyes north — local tourism officials say guests who stay 3+ nights and go out in the late evening have a 90%+ chance of seeing the lights. In December, you`re staying in the town where every day is Christmas: letters to Santa, reindeer, and the Santa Claus House minutes away, with room for the whole extended family.

GOOD TO KNOW
This is a duplex — our sister unit next door sleeps 16. Book both for reunions, military homecomings, and aurora groups up to 29 guests. Winter-ready and toasty at -40, with the driveway kept plowed. The aurora is a natural wonder and can`t be guaranteed — but we`ll do everything to help you catch it.
