7 Gables Inn and Suites began as a fraternity house; it is within walking distance to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The students left during the summer but the mortgage never left... thus a bed and breakfast was started to offset the summer vacancies. We quickly experienced a demand for a private bath in every room. This was met with a private Jacuzzi in most rooms and a fireplace in some rooms. Over the years, the inn has grown from the bedrooms in the main house to fully equipped suites with remote controlled fireplaces, and two person Jacuzzis at three nearby locations. The rooms themselves all have private Jacuzzi baths, cable TV/VCR/DVDs, wireless internet access with full, gourmet breakfast included in the room rate. All the newly constructed suites have full kitchens, stocked with pots and pans so guests or business travelers can easily enjoy extended stays. In addition to these many creature comforts, complimentary canoes and bikes are available for guest use. On the boiler plate for soon-to-come improvements are a tennis court for summer months that will be an ice skating rink by winter and a sauna on the upper deck of the greenhouse.
