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.

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 is located on a beautiful piece of property right on the river. You can relax in the yard or in the house and watch the canoes, kayaks and boats go by. Inside is perfect for relaxing as a family! Very much enjoyed staying here!!!

Cozy "hunting cabin" vibes

Stayed here in October - It's 10 min drive from downtown Fairbanks but feels more secluded inside, nice view of the river, and feels very cozy and rustic. Would stay again.

2-bedroom log cabin

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.

Great rustic cabin with amazing view

We’ve stayed here twice and will definitely be back when we can. Close to groc stores, easy access, but sitting and watching the river makes you feel like you’re a million miles away. The owner lives next door, and is always available if you need something. The history of their family is a great piece of history and available to read in the cabin. We will definitely be back!

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.
