"A remote Alaska outpost about 60 miles from Fairbanks where geothermal waters rich in sulfate, chloride, and sodium bicarbonate are paired with eco-friendly operations and year-round attractions. Accommodations include a 40-room lodge, standard rooms, family suites, rustic cabins, camping, and yurts; the property is employee-owned and uses geothermal energy for heat and power. Visitors come for the chance to soak while viewing the aurora borealis, explore the year-round Aurora Ice Museum, enjoy on-site dining and massage services, and sign up for northern-lights tours, dogsled rides, horseback riding, and other winter- and summer-season activities." - Michelle Baran
