Great stay for Northern Lights!

The cabin was extremely clean and cozy, and had all the amenities we needed. Check in process was super easy and we even got some recommendations on best ways to see the Aurora from our hosts! Would absolutely recommend.

Beautiful Escape Into the Wild

The property was great! The owner provided loads of advice about the area and detailed input on getting checked in. The cabin was perfectly clean and despite the freezing temperatures outside, it stayed warm inside. This place is perfect for a couple/small family to stay if you're looking to experience a comfortable, non-commercial setting in Alaska!The only SMALL drawback was that the TV remotes did not allow for us to change channels and there was no bluetooth speaker for us to play music. But, honestly, when you're staying over here you have no desire to remain inside so we didn't lose much sleep over it.Strongly recommend this place to anyone heading to the Fairbanks/North Pole area!

Cabin Getaway

The cabin was very charming, and the pictures didn’t quite do it justice. We enjoyed lounging around comfortably after a long day of hiking out near Chena Hot Springs. I would definitely try to book this place again if/when we get to return!

Wonderful

Wonderful cabin! It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of towels, and washer & dryer with some laundry products if needed. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic. We got lucky the last night of our stay and to see the northern lights. Got some great photos. Andy & Shayla communicated often to make sure everything was good.

Work-Vacay Getaway

We stayed here because of work related travel in the area. We were thoroughly impressed with the property as everything represented in the listing was as good or better than expected. The location and cabin were the perfect combination of isolation and convenience and relaxation. The comforts and amenities were all perfect. The hosts were quick and friendly and caring with all requests and questions. Would recommend this cabin and host for either leisure or work travel. Staying here will reset your expectations for similar properties for sure. Very satisfied overall.

Such a cozy, peaceful and scenic stay. The kitchen was equipped for cooking, there were no knifes but we were able to make it work. A perfect getaway for a couple. We were able to have a picnic outside. Would definitely recommend

Such a cute cabin!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin! All the comforts of home, including a well-stocked kitchen. We appreciated the generous stock with things like plenty of towels, paper towels, trash bags, TP, etc. (we have stayed in VRBO's where that has not ben the case).We were especially thankful for the wonderful blackout shades as our visit was during the full sun days that Alaska offers in the summer. Hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. We definitely recommend this cabin & would stay here again! :)

Loved this little cabin!

My husband and I stayed for several nights of our honeymoon, and wish we could have stayed longer! The cabin is beautiful and feels very cozy. Plenty of linens, towels, and lots of things left in the kitchen by past guests to cook with. (seasonings, olive oil, etc.) My husband enjoyed the coffee offerings too! The location is very close to all the fun things we had planned for the trip (dog sledding, ice fishing, and snow mobiling) and the driveway was plowed upon arrival. Any minor issues we had, the host was able to respond pretty quickly too! We highly recommend this cabin and can't wait to return again soon, likely will try to book again!

Cutest cabin!

Very sweet cabin perfect for a couple or small family. Felt very clean and that’s a frequent concern of mine with any vacation rental. A lot of towels and extra blankets and pillows. Sauna was an amazing bonus (put in right before we arrived). Host is incredibly fast to respond and provided suggestions for activities which was nice. Stocked well in the kitchen with dishes, spices, coffee, etc. I would suggest checking it out before any food shopping. Great location. Remote but easy drive to activities, downtown North Pole, and airport. We saw moose tracks in the front yard one morning so keep an eye out! So cool! No dishwasher (wasn’t much of an issue for two) and laundry was noted as private use only. May need to dig out/find fire pit in the snow but that’s just part of being in Alaska. Anything more than one bag of garbage has to be taken to the dump. We had a car so not a huge deal. Again, part of being in a small remote location which we loved. Would recommend renting a car if you’re ok driving in snow. Driveway was plowed. Really loved this cabin. Would 100% recommend and go back.

Great cozy cabin!

We chose this VRBO based on location and it was awesome. Tucked away in the trees, it was private but convenient. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed and if there was something needed, Andy was quick to respond. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re in Fairbanks.
