Private and peaceful, this cozy cabin is located in boreal forest at the end of a private road close to Fairbanks. You will enjoy exclusive use of this retreat during your stay. The hooting of a great horned owl on the mountain behind the house is only rarely disturbed by the distant moan of the locomotive winding through the valley below.The property that this cabin and the main house sits on feels remote even though it is less than 15 minutes from shopping and Fairbanks International Airport.

Dan and Clarity were amazing hosts and easy to communicate with! The cabin was perfect us as it was far enough outside of town to be nice and peaceful, but close enough for all of our outings, and it was also close to Murphy Dome which was an amazing spot for viewing the aurora on cloudless nights!
We celebrated our 30th anniversary with a trip to Alaska. This cabin was the perfect remote location we were looking for! Hosts were quick to respond to questions and go above and beyond to make guests feel relaxed and comfortable.
Dan was so easy to work with; loved the little house, perfect for a 1 or 2-night stay (we only could work in a 1-overnighter); clean, easy to access, enjoyed our stay very much; highly recommend!
Loved this little place! It was away from the city but not far. Super cute place. Loved the little squirrel that would come and visit us every morning. This place would’ve been perfect to see the northern lights except we had a lot of rain in clouds while we were there. Not to worry. It’s the perfect cabin that makes you feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again. Dan and Clarity were great.
We were just in Fairbanks for the night and after seeing the cabin wish we could have stayed longer. Nice, very quiet area just far enough away from town but just a few minutes drive to the local General Store for supplies. Our hosts provided everything that we could have needed next time we are back in the area we will be calling them first!
Can’t say enough good things about this little place. Communication was effortless, and the place was exactly like the photos. Charming, convenient and close to everything. Absolutely spotless. We just regret we weren’t able to stay longer. We were just in town for the evening, but we did get to see a stunning display of the aurora borealis. Just up the hill from the cabin. Definitely would love to come and stay here again! Thanks guys!
Very cute cottage with all the amenities one needs fresh eggs and food items stocked in the kitchen. Owner was very friendly . One of my best experiences with VRBO. Highly recommend this place. So much to see in the surrounding area.

Everything you need is there! Feel at home cabin❤️
Secluded, cozy and quiet. Beautiful setting. The cabin was very clean. Fresh chicken and quail eggs to enjoy for breakfast. I highly recommend this cabin.
This has been a perfect place to stay. An Alaskan experience near the top of a mountain surrounded by trees and a beautiful sky. Great cozy cabin with everything we would need. The hosts were fantastic. Freshly laid eggs for breakfast from the owners little poultry farm next door. We hope to come back sometime!
We wanted to be out of the city. This little cabin was perfect! It’s also a bed and breakfast so the cabin is stocked with all kinds of food including snacks and soups. The quail eggs were the best! The decor as in furs and antlers and paintings are all from local artists and hunters and are available for purchase. Everything was beautiful comfy and warm.
