About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Cozy two bedroom log cabin on the Chena River near town.
One bedroom has a queen size bed, the other two twins. There is also a carpeted attached garage that gives additional space and has a double bed. You actually enter the house through the garage so, except for the door that makes it handy to bring in luggage, you wouldn't know it's a garage.
It sits on a three and a half acre lot right next to the cabin with the addition that we have used for VRBO for the past two years. The original owner built what is now our home for them and this cabin for his folks in the 1950’s. We have lived here for 50 years and find it a special place.

Gasp
After arriving, we were shocked that the property was listed as a vacation rental. The musky and moldy smell inside the cabin was overpowering. The furniture was very old, dusty, and stained in some spots. There were also stains on the ancient carpet. The bedding was also very old and the pillows paper thin. When looking under the hood over the stove we were shocked to find that it appeared as though it had never been cleaned. The converted garage to a bedroom was chilly with questionable wiring above head of the bed. Regrettably, for the reasons stated above, we were unable to stay in the cabin and had to seek other lodging.

Cozy cabin stay
Beautiful views from enormous living room windows. Pleasant and responsive host. Beds are comfy and the kitchen is very well stocked with cookware and basic food needs. The heat works well and keeps all but the converted garage bedroom toasty. Only complaints are that the towels and upholstered furnishings are worn and need to be replaced. The carpet could use cleaning too. That might help reduce the musty smell when you first walk in.. That being said, we would definitely want to stay here again. The area is safe and attractive. It’s a good location, fair price and really is a cozy cabin.

Cute cozy spot!
My hiking club and I came up for denali park and the northern lights, and this cabin was a great home base. Plenty warm. Cute open inside and cute front/back yard where we could see the sunrise and frolick in the snow. Super close to the airport and town too!
The cabin and property was picture perfect. It was a wonderful vist and the memories will last a life time. We couldnt asked for a better place to stay. Looking forward to a return trip

Visiting the college kid
This is really a great property. It's an older cabin, but is very comfortable and has everything you would normally need. The location is great with stores and a coffee shop within walking distance, not to mention close to the college. The listing really undersell the river view and the close proximity to the river, it’s really quite beautiful. Also, we got an amazing Aurora Borealis show in the backyard because there is very little light pollution at this property. We can’t wait to go back.
Other than the bed sheets being a bit dusty everything else was great. Close to everything we wanted to do and close to the city to have access to nessary shopping. It had a laundry machine and detergent so we could wash the comforters our self. The cabin also had fishing poles, and lawn game activities so you can be entertained. It was cozy and the heater works very well, but it is a bit loud when it turns on. All in all, a very good experience.

Nice log cabin on the river
Location and setting were great with large windows overlooking the Chena river. Restaurants were a short drive away. Full well stocked kitchen with snacks and breakfast items. Washer and dryer. Although the cabin was comfortable, some items were well worn and could stand to be upgraded and the cabin itself would benefit from a thorough cleaning.

Great location
We were a party of 3 adults and were here pre tour/cruise. We needed a place where we could come and go to see the lights and a place where we could have breakfast in and just enjoy being in Fairbanks. The cabin was wonderful. Nothing fancy but everything we needed. The weather was rainy but the view from the front of the cabin was wonderful. Looking out at the peace of the river, especially first thing in the morning.

Beautful setting
The cabin is rustic but interior
could benefit from a little TLC . However, the owner was great at answering questions. The view from the living room was great, for you can see the river.view fview is gorgeous with communication.was charming
This is a nice place with a cabin feel and 3 different sleeping areas. It is stocked for cooking, has books and other entertainment plus a beautiful view of the river. I thought it was more secluded when we booked it but it worked well for us. We went to the Arctic Circle and Chena hot springs. Long drive to the circle but Chena hot springs less than an hour away and totally worth it. Martha communicated everything clearly.

My daughter and I enjoyed having this cabin as our home base and communication with Martha was a pleasure. She was a wonderful hostess. The cabin was very clean and so comfortable, and being on the river was wonderful. We watched the river activity quite a bit in the evenings.
