About this property

Peaceful Hillside Refuge to Enjoy Aurora

Private and peaceful, this cozy cabin is located in boreal forest at the end of a private road close to Fairbanks. You will enjoy exclusive use of this retreat during your stay. The hooting of a great horned owl on the mountain behind the house is only rarely disturbed by the distant moan of the locomotive winding through the valley below.The property that this cabin and the main house sits on feels remote even though it is less than 15 minutes from shopping and Fairbanks International Airport.

Loved the remote feel, but that it was only 10min from town. Also, the homestead/cabin feel with farm fresh eggs and other items for breakfast along with a well- equipped kitchen for personal cooking. Games, books, movies, and a fully functional bathroom. Very cozy, welcoming, and extremely clean!

Great little cabin in the woods!

We wanted to be out of the city. This little cabin was perfect! It’s also a bed and breakfast so the cabin is stocked with all kinds of food including snacks and soups. The quail eggs were the best! The decor as in furs and antlers and paintings are all from local artists and hunters and are available for purchase. Everything was beautiful comfy and warm.

Best Kept Secret

Loved this little place! It was away from the city but not far. Super cute place. Loved the little squirrel that would come and visit us every morning. This place would’ve been perfect to see the northern lights except we had a lot of rain in clouds while we were there. Not to worry. It’s the perfect cabin that makes you feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again. Dan and Clarity were great.

The Sound of Silence

Yes, that’s what you will hear…nothing and it’s great. Very tidy cabin and great breakfast fixings for you to create your own breakfast. Right down the road and conveniently located near Running Reindeer Ranch. Thank you Clarity &Dan for your hospitality.

Nice, quiet and secluded little cabin. The cabin was clean and tidy. The cabinets were way more stocked than we were used to do unfortunately we didn't get to use hardly any of the stuff although it was nice to know it was there. The only nit pic I had and it's more rather a preference is that the bed was a little hard for my wife and me, but just us. Wish we would've had better weather so we could see the Northern lights, but that's just nature for you. It was a great place to stay and we deeply appreciated the use of it. Thanks.

Peaceful cabin in the mountains!

Dan and Clarity were amazing hosts and easy to communicate with! The cabin was perfect us as it was far enough outside of town to be nice and peaceful, but close enough for all of our outings, and it was also close to Murphy Dome which was an amazing spot for viewing the aurora on cloudless nights!

Perfect in Every Way! + Northern Lights!

Can’t say enough good things about this little place. Communication was effortless, and the place was exactly like the photos. Charming, convenient and close to everything. Absolutely spotless. We just regret we weren’t able to stay longer. We were just in town for the evening, but we did get to see a stunning display of the aurora borealis. Just up the hill from the cabin. Definitely would love to come and stay here again! Thanks guys!

Peaceful Retreat

We were just in Fairbanks for the night and after seeing the cabin wish we could have stayed longer. Nice, very quiet area just far enough away from town but just a few minutes drive to the local General Store for supplies. Our hosts provided everything that we could have needed next time we are back in the area we will be calling them first!

Peaceful getaway for two adventurers!

We flew in late to Fairbanks International arriving at 2am from Seattle. Due to our arrival time, the car rental companies were all closed, but a short 20 min cab ride to our warm cabin was amazing after traveling almost 24 hours. We were exhausted and ready to get some much needed rest. We slept a few hours and then were able to make a great breakfast and hot coffee from the fresh ingredients provided by Dan and Clarity. The cabin has many items available to help with the costs of staying in a VRBO. During our stay we visited Castner Ice Cave, Denali, Chena Hot Springs, drove the Dalton to the Arctic Circle and we day the Aurora! We unfortunately had a lot of cloudy weather near the cabin during our stay so we didn't get to see it from there, but our view was gorgeous nevertheless! It snowed several days, too. We were warm and cozy and appreciated the heated mattress pad! I didn't get to personally meet either of our hosts, but my husband did and he said they were very gracious and kind. All of my communication with them from before booking until we checked out has been excellent! Zero complaints! I would absolutely come back to this cabin again without hesitation. We stayed 9 nights total and there was nothing that we needed other than laundry facilities. We went to town and in an hour had our laundry done at Fairbanks Laundry. This cabin has its water brought in by tanker, which I was aware of, many cabins around the area are dry cabins.
