About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy two bedroom log cabin on the Chena River near town.

One bedroom has a queen size bed, the other two twins. There is also a carpeted attached garage that gives additional space and has a double bed. You actually enter the house through the garage so, except for the door that makes it handy to bring in luggage, you wouldn't know it's a garage.

It sits on a three and a half acre lot right next to the cabin with the addition that we have used for VRBO for the past two years. The original owner built what is now our home for them and this cabin for his folks in the 1950’s. We have lived here for 50 years and find it a special place.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Spend the day on the slopes, or enjoy other recreational amenities, which include ski-in/ski-out access.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Cute cozy spot!
My hiking club and I came up for denali park and the northern lights, and this cabin was a great home base. Plenty warm. Cute open inside and cute front/back yard where we could see the sunrise and frolick in the snow. Super close to the airport and town too!

Visiting the college kid
This is really a great property. It's an older cabin, but is very comfortable and has everything you would normally need. The location is great with stores and a coffee shop within walking distance, not to mention close to the college. The listing really undersell the river view and the close proximity to the river, it’s really quite beautiful. Also, we got an amazing Aurora Borealis show in the backyard because there is very little light pollution at this property. We can’t wait to go back.

Nice log cabin on the river
Location and setting were great with large windows overlooking the Chena river. Restaurants were a short drive away. Full well stocked kitchen with snacks and breakfast items. Washer and dryer. Although the cabin was comfortable, some items were well worn and could stand to be upgraded and the cabin itself would benefit from a thorough cleaning.

Great location
We were a party of 3 adults and were here pre tour/cruise. We needed a place where we could come and go to see the lights and a place where we could have breakfast in and just enjoy being in Fairbanks. The cabin was wonderful. Nothing fancy but everything we needed. The weather was rainy but the view from the front of the cabin was wonderful. Looking out at the peace of the river, especially first thing in the morning.

This is a nice place with a cabin feel and 3 different sleeping areas. It is stocked for cooking, has books and other entertainment plus a beautiful view of the river. I thought it was more secluded when we booked it but it worked well for us. We went to the Arctic Circle and Chena hot springs. Long drive to the circle but Chena hot springs less than an hour away and totally worth it. Martha communicated everything clearly.

My daughter and I enjoyed having this cabin as our home base and communication with Martha was a pleasure. She was a wonderful hostess. The cabin was very clean and so comfortable, and being on the river was wonderful. We watched the river activity quite a bit in the evenings.

Great rustic cabin with amazing view
We’ve stayed here twice and will definitely be back when we can. Close to groc stores, easy access, but sitting and watching the river makes you feel like you’re a million miles away. The owner lives next door, and is always available if you need something. The history of their family is a great piece of history and available to read in the cabin. We will definitely be back!
