"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."

"Amazing! If I would create a cozy cabin, this would be it. I travel with my own twinkle lights to create the right soothing ambiance, but I didn’t need them here. Quiet, sparking clean, and efficient use of kitchen space. It also boasted the best water pressure of all the places we stayed in our 18 day trip.I met Raven’s staff (mom and maintenance man) upon departure and they sing her praises. This speaks volumes. Would absolutely stay here again and next time spend a week!! It’s convenient both to town and since it’s on the road to the hot springs there are many super hiking trails along the way to our soak. 5 stars, plus a bright one each for Cathy and Richard. Thanks you all :)(Photo is watching full moon rise from looking out the front door)."

"We loved the place; the location was awesome. The staff was super cool, and the property was well-maintained. It's pretty much self-serve, and we loved the quality of all the amenities. Nothing can beat the location and view."

"Janet and Fred were excellent hosts! They create a friendly, comfortable environment. Breakfasts were excellent and prepared freshly every morning. Having Janet wake us up to see the Northern Lights was truly a highlight of our trip to Alaska. I would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Fairbanks."

"Nice location, right outside of town"
