River’s Edge Resort Cottages

Very clean, cute cottages. Loved having our own little space. Has a nice breakfast buffet and dining room. Try Chena’s Alaskan Grill right next door while you’re there also!

I stayed at the RV Park for three nights and the hotel for one night and dined at the restaurant twice, thus gave Rivers Edge a two vs. a one. The RV park was fine, what you would expect. The restaurant food was good, but the server would constantly rush you through your meal and you hardly had time to finish your first drink. The hotel was clean, but the Internet was down with no chance of recovery during my stay and after I was told there was an airport shuttle my flight was prior to their operating hours. The receptionist confirmed the hotel would call and pay for my cab, but when I tried to arrange it early morning there was no one working the front desk for 30 minutes and I had to call one myself.

Nice cottages right on the river. Blackout curtains to help sleep. Clean and well maintained.

We are staying here due to the Norwegian Cruise Line putting us here for the ground tour of Alaska. This resort is very disappointing — poorly maintained with old furniture and bedding, property is lackluster, and food is only fair. For the price we paid NCL for this tour they should be ashamed for putting its customers at this resort.

Stayed here for one night this past week. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The setting along the river with the little cottages was quite charming.
The CONS were that the internet wouldn’t connect. They apparently have WI-​FI but it would never connect when I selected it. The other disappointment was the buffet breakfast was pretty awful and horribly overpriced. I highly recommend you go elsewhere for breakfast.
We were also a little disappointed in the location of our cottage. There were obviously many vacant cottages, yet we were put in this one right next to the restaurant that was wedged between three other cottages. I could’ve complained but stuck with it and it wasn’t all that bad since it was one night.

Wonderful cabins and friendly staff. Only negatives are the buffet breakfast and the maid service. However I will stay here again and would recommend this place.

We stayed at the River Edge for 3 nights although not consecutively. I like that the rooms are separate from each other so you can’t hear your neighbors. For the first 2 nights, we stayed in a room closer to the airport so we could hear the planes took off. The 3^rd night, we stayed in a room closer to the reception office so it was a lot quieter.
The staff here is friendly. The rooms that we stayed in were cleaned and the bed was comfortable. There is also a coin laundry facility in the RV park.
Since we were going on a trip to Prudhoe Bay and would return in a couple of days, they allowed us to store our luggage there as we couldn’t take more than 15 pounds per person on the trip.
The only downside is that it is a little bit of a way from downtown so we used the Airlink shuttle to get around.

I stayed here for three nights at the end of June. The little cottages lined up along the riverfront are definitely different than what I’m used to, but the whole format grew on me considerably during my stay.
The room/​cottage was a comfortable size, and it was cleaned each day. I liked having a little patio out back, except the mosquitoes were oppressive (not the fault of River’s Edge). Thank goodness the room had air-​conditioning, because our trip to Fairbanks coincided with a ridiculous heat wave! It would have been nice if the room had a little refrigerator.
The front desk staff was really nice and very responsive whenever we had questions. The bus drivers who picked us up from the airport and the Riverboat Discovery and who dropped us off at the train station were all very polite and punctual.

Loved the little cabin/​cottage on the river! We walked in without a reservation and we were able to stay in this cozy cabin. There is a sliding glass door to the patio which is on the grassy river front. Very relaxing. The restaurant was extremely busy– And, after tasting the food, we realized why. The service and the food were great!

We stayed here in August. Took all the tours offered through River’s Edge. They offer a quick buffet breakfast and have a nice restaurant for lunch & dinner. We loved our cottage on the side of the river. Hiked up to a nearby grocery store, shopped at the Great Alaskan Bowl Co., then ate our lunch outside on our patio. Laundramat is available at their RV park next door. We recommend River’s Edge as a nice alternative to the many lodges you’ll be staying at in Alaska.

It would have been a positive review except for the TERRIBLE INTERNET SERVICE. At least they were nice about it and said they were looking into it.

loved this little place — clean, spacious independent little cabins. My cabin had nice sitting table, tv, small patio with table and chairs out front. We were also parked less that 20 feed from door — nice when lugging suitcases. One can walk along the river — You can somewhat hear the highway — but really not bad just felt I had to mention.
Front desk had area to sit — business center (one computer). Vending machines available without too bad prices (Please skip the extra pay buffet breakfast. I have never seen my son pass on bacon — the taste was odd.)
we stayed twice and enjoyed both times
