About this property

Chena Riverside Lodge

  • Welcome to Chena Riverside Lodge, a beautiful Alaskan log home nestled directly along the banks of the Chena River in Fairbanks. With impressive log construction, soaring vaulted ceilings, spacious gathering areas, and incredible river views, this private retreat offers the perfect blend of classic Alaska charm and modern comfort.

    The lodge features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, making it ideal for families, groups of friends, or couples traveling together. The dramatic living room is the heart of the home, with massive logs, soaring ceilings, and plenty of space to gather and relax.

    Step outside onto the large covered riverfront deck and enjoy a front-row seat to life on the Chena. The lodge sits directly across the river from the historic Trail Breaker Kennel, founded by legendary Iditarod champion Susan Butcher and David Monson—a special piece of Alaska history right outside your door. During the summer, watch boats cruise by, including the famous Riverboat Discovery.

    In the winter, the private setting and open skies offer an incredible opportunity to watch for the Northern Lights right from the property.

    After a day exploring Fairbanks, unwind in the private sauna or enjoy the dedicated workout room. Guests also have access to a large two-car garage, plenty of paved parking, a spacious front yard, and a private lot.

    Whether you’re planning a family vacation, group getaway, or the Alaska trip of a lifetime, Chena Riverside Lodge offers an unforgettable riverfront experience in the heart of Fairbanks.
    No smoking permitted in the house or garage, and please never leave your vehicle running in the garage.

The river view is amazing! Comfy beds, all we needed kitchen-wise, games for rainy days, and being able to see the Northern Lights from the deck made our Alaska trip wonderful! Thank you so much!
