"We had an awesome stay at this cabin, it is on a beautiful property and is centrally located between Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs.We also had a great view at the Northern Lights! Would definitely recommend staying at this property!"

"We had a wonderful time staying at this cabin! Tara was super responsive, the cabin was just as described, and was also well-stocked, clean, and cozy. Quick drive to Chena, and really nice to fully disconnect and see the aurora. Outhouse was also super well kept-up! Truly a sensational experience."

"February 2025 stayed here with my parents and two kids. Comfortable space for 5. Beautiful location. Came in after a storm and the drive out was still reasonable driving conditions. I would recommend grocery shopping closer to Airport as there is a small local spot with minimal basics. The place is super cute and in sub 0 temps, still warm and cozy. Right out the door are miles of public trails that the kids and I were able to head out on. Well groomed so snow shoes were unnecessary. The property and surrounding land are absolutely gorgeous. Elke was super responsive leading up to the trip and no issues during our stay. The northern lights were visible at the cabin on two KP4 blocks of time. Stunning. We did do the dog sled experience and it was wonderful. Fascinating to hear about Silver Aces, their dogs, and the mushing experience. Best of luck in the upcoming weeks! The kitchen is small but well equipped for stove top cooking and a sheet pan for the oven. Lastly, Google Fi users and had service on the property and on the trails around the property. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!"

"Staff very friendly and encouraging jn trying new things like snowmobiling. Beautiful grounds in the winter, hot springs felt so good after playing in the cold. Room temps varied due to geothermal energy."

"This house is ideally located between Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs. Everything is as it appears in the photos. Clean and comfortable. Wintertime in Alaska is something to experience. Thank you Monique and Russell for the opportunity to enjoy it once again. "

"Stayed several nights hoping for an aurora show. Sadly, it wasn’t meant to be for us. We still had a nice Alaska experience with a beautiful wide open setting and a cozy cabin. We even were treated to the mama moose that frequents the property. The owner was very responsive to questions. The driveway was very long and after several inches of new snow, we were glad we had a car with studs. "

"We had an amazing time at this wonderful property. The cabin fit two adult couples very well and we had everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive throughout. Then beyond the beautiful space, we had the BEST time meeting the sled dogs and learning all about life in the area. We would absolutely stay again!"

"Great place for a family weekend up from Anchorage. Thank you Brenda!"

"Best feature was having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Everything was very clean and communication was clear."
