We enjoyed our time here so much. The peace and quiet was so relaxing, and only minutes away from restaurants and shopping. Nancy was informative and friendly, and has a lot of great tips on things to do in the area. House was very clean, everything provided, and check in and out was so easy. Would stay again. PS loved the ducks in the stream out back.

A Nice Home Base

I booked this cabin for my 13th wedding anniversary. From the get go, Nancy was very informative and accommodating. A very long story short, we ended up staying for two weeks instead of the original plan of one week. We used the cabin as a 'home base' while we travelled around southern Alaska. We appreciate Nancy so much in her efforts to make our stay comfortable.

Alaskan Sky Geezers

Our group are all Californians. Our sole mission was to see the Aurora Borealis, none of us had ever seen them.Nancy our host was absolutely phenomenal! She gave us so many suggestions of what to do in the area and she immediately became our new friend. The best host I’ve ever had!!The cabin is charming and extremely clean. The loft was a fun bedroom to stay in for an additional couple. They felt like kids climbing up and down the ladder!The location was perfect, less than 5 minutes to town, tucked away in the woods. Nancy the host has stocked the cabin with everything to cook with. Coffee Pot, coffee and accoutrements were provided.We were not disappointed and yes… we got to see the Aurora Borealis! It was awesome!!

Stayed here with my dad and brother for a quick weekend winter getaway and we had a great time! Cabin was clean and comfortable with modern amenities. It’s also located in a quiet area with a great view tucked in beside a river. Nancy was a great host who answered all our questions and provided us with recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Next time we’re in Fairbanks, we know where we’ll want to stay!

Cozy cabin, tucked among thick, snow covered pines. A true Winter Wonderland retreat! With a short drive, to everything the friendly town, North Pole, Alaska has to offer! Santa Claus House is near, and a short day trip to Chena Hot Springs is a must! Ifyou
