Glacier House was originally our family home, full of kids and friends. While loving Fairbanks as our "home base", we have always loved to travel, and hostels have long been our first choice for lodging. When the kids grew up we decided it was a perfect opportunity to offer the kind of experience we enjoyed to others. We have been happily welcoming the world to Fairbanks and Glacier House since 2009.
