"My family (my parents, my wife, and I – four adults) stayed at the Red Bear Den for three nights from September 16 to 18. This was our first time using Vrbo, and the experience was excellent. The Bear Den was clean, tidy, and beautifully decorated — it truly felt like home.The location is perfect, right between downtown Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs. We also found it to be a much better value than the nearby igloos, which were far more expensive.On our very first night, we saw the northern lights for the first time in our lives! They lasted for about three hours, and it was an unforgettable experience. What made it even more special was that we could watch them right from the Bear Den’s backyard — no need to drive half an hour away to escape city lights. It felt private, comfortable, and magical.We also made a trip to Chena Hot Springs to enjoy the hot springs and visit the Aurora Ice Museum, which was only a 30-minute drive from the cabin. Back at the Bear Den, we had great fun playing the scavenger hunt.The host couple was very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely choose the Bear Den again if we return to Fairbanks in the future."

"Beautiful meadow with trails just outside door."

"Perfect Alaska getaway at the cabin. Perfectly furnished, cozy, clean, and with just the right amount of amenities balanced with leaving the world behind. Maria was an outstanding host - quick and accurate communication. Highly recommended stay. My wife and I loved our time at the cabin."

"The cabin was very neat and clean. Bunk beds were comfortable. Outhouse was well stocked. Water jugs were kept stocked. Water tasted great. Very calm and relaxing area. Thanks for the wonderful stay. "

"We had a VRBO booked for over six months in Salcha, the owner decided to cancel our reservation with barely 24 hours’ notice. Seeing that I was travelling from Florida it was a very bad situation to find ourselves in.I looked and found this Moose Creek unit and booked it. Not knowing what to expect as we took the only thing around. Let me just say that this was the best last minute "get me out of a bind" decision I have made this year. The unit was immaculate, spotlessly clean, spacious and quiet... as quiet as you can be next to an Air Force base. If you know Salcha you will know what I mean. We were in town to visit family and have already sent this units information to all our family and friends with instruction to “book this first”.Its proximity to shopping and North Pole is excellent, and Fairbanks is only 30 minutes away. I would highly recommend this unit and will be booking for all my future trips to Salcha."

"Wow, this place is so cool! The details and effort they put in are amazing. I'll definitely be back! I'm not sure about using VRBO again, though. Luckily, the host was super accommodating, and our stay was perfect. Thanks!"

"Great location, clean and well equipped! Very polite and friendly owners!"
