North Pole Cabin Retreat

Our North Pole Cabin Retreat is a great place to come for a day, a week, or a month or more. A person can experience life in Alaska in comfort. Our log cabin was built in 2002 and has had many guests over the years. We provide housing year round, and winter or summer the cabin is warm, dry, and safe. Running water is a must, as are clean comfortable beds. The cabin has two queen beds, kitchenette, full private bath, BBQ and picnic area outside. Parking is nearby. We are only 2 miles from grocery, dentist, medical, gas stations, gift shops, dining establishments, churches and bars. Although you are close to the comforts of everyday living, it will seem as if you are a long way out in the woods. We are located in a private, wooded property with a waterway flowing by. In summer there are many nesting ducks. There are many wild flowers growing all around, as well as hanging baskets of flowers we plant for your enjoyment.

This cabin is private, quiet, and in a beautiful natural setting. It's easily accessible to nearby towns, shopping, and local attractions. Host was very communicative and helpful, and provided a few thoughtful touches specific to the stay. Very clean and well-maintained. The host clearly takes pride in hosting. Definitely recommend.

Absolute dream! We stayed in Nancys cabin at the end of a 3 week cruise and land tour of Alaska. We were in the Westmark Fairbanks hotel which was amazing, but I wanted an Alaskan cabin experience....with plumbing and heat 😂 The cabin was cute and clean. Nice size bathroom and a kitchen. Queen bed on ground floor and in the loft area. Warm and comfortable! Nancy was super sweet and communicative. She also has some adorable dogs that came up to the fence to say hi each morning. Its about 20minutes from Fairbanks but within a 5 minute drive is a Safeway, mcdonalds, wendys and chinese food spot. Felt so secluded and peacefull...yet close to anything you would need. Loved it, def recommend! Will book next time in Fairbanks for sure!

It was ok, neat little cabin, seemed a little damp inside but clean. Maybe needs a little update. Definitely served a great style and peaceful surroundings. Didn’t know it was a duplex, people were noisy , glad they were there for only a few days. Other than that it was fine.

Amazing host and an awesome location
This place is perfect if you just want no-nonsense accommodations, an incredibly friendly and informative host, and easy access to any of the reasons you might be visiting Fairbanks. Nancy's advice helped us see the Northern Lights at some amazing locations and get the fullest experience out of our 4 day trip. The bed is also EXTREMELY comfortable, possibly the most comfortable bed I've ever had while traveling. The kitchen is a little cramped but totally workable if you can work in a small space. I highly recommend staying here if you are going to visit Fairbanks.

Cabin in the Woods
Nancy is a most accommodating host and sent texts with information about the area and places we might enjoy going and things we might enjoy doing nearby. We found the cabin clean and adequate for our needs; there was a small kitchenette with a table and chairs, clean bathroom and a queen sized bed. Outside there are a couple of chairs, a grill and a firepit area.

We had a great stay at this cabin. It kept us warm even though it was -40F. You will find everything you need in it. Our host Nancy was super helpful and gave us toe warmers and tips for things we could do. The area is very quiet but easy to access by car. We would definitely book this cabin again to experience the area in a different season.

Small and simple
Nancy is a very pro-active host and she gave many recommendations on activities todo. The place is small and cozy, a perfect winter getaway. The house was at good temperature even though outside was -40F. Nancy also provided an option to park close to the house and she would bring electric hookup to keep car warm. A must stay place to relax and enjoy the winter.

Cozy home base to explore interior Alaska and hunt for the Northern Lights!
Our family of four stayed in this cabin for 6 nights in the heart of winter to explore Alaska and hunt for the Northern Lights. We were so happy we stayed at this cabin. The cabin is located in a great location where you feel like you're in a true winter wonderland in a very quiet, wooded area but within 3 minutes of a Safeway and several restaurants (Wendy's, Taco Bell, a great tamale stand, etc...). Our main goal was to see the Northern Lights, and this cabin is located a short and easy 7-10-minute drive to Chena Lake (depending on where on the lake you go). Chena Lake is an incredible place to view the Northern Lights. This same lake is where Rod's Alaskan Guide Service does their ice fishing and dog sledding Northern Lights tours. The cabin is also well furnished, well supplied, and was very cozy for all of us, including our two younger teenage daughters. The heater worked great, had running water (which we learned is not a given for rural places in Alaska), and we never ran out of hot water. Taking hot showers was a huge plus when you're living in -30 degree temps. The owner (Northpole Nancy) was very responsive before and during our stay and we maintained excellent communication with her. She is also extremely knowledgeable of the area and provided us with great tips during our stay.

Absolutely loved it!
Stayed here for 5 days during Christmas time. The cabin was in a beautiful area sort of tucked away behind the trees which I just LOVED. You cross a pretty creek getting to it, and there’s a little coffee place RIGHT across from that. Even though it has that nice tucked away & secluded feel, it is still super close to everything in North Pole, which was a nice convenience. Only about 20-30 mins from Fairbanks, and about 1hr 15 min to Chena Hot Springs resort. Nancy herself was also really friendly and helpful. She was pretty flexible with my booking as well, which I really appreciated. She shoveled a walkway for us when we truly wouldn’t have minded walking in the snow, provided lots of brochures in the cabin to check out, and was super quick and helpful in her responses. She was friendly enough to check in on us & make sure we were always good. Overall, an AMAZING stay! 10/10 would recommend.

The perfect birthday in Alaska!
I booked my stay at Nancy’s after doing some reset about the area and noticing my initial accommodations were about an hour’s drive from everything I wanted to do. Nancy was super communicative from my initial inquiry until I left, offering info about local places to try and catch the Northern Lights. I was not disappointed. :) The cabin is in a back corner of Nancy’s property and has all the basics. There’s a coffee machine (which saved my life while trying to catch the lights on 4 hours of sleep), dishes, towels, extra pillows, books about Alaska and the Aurora Borealis and so much more! I ventured up to the loft area and while it it quite spacious, I opted to stay on the ground level. Overall, my stay at Nancy’s was the perfect way to celebrate my 30th birthday and I am so thankful for her hospitality. I would love to come back in the summer and experience Alaska and Nancy’s place.
