Cozy Alaskan Cabin, with rare Northern Lights views...
Mountain and City VIEW property! Charming and cozy home with a view just outside the city of Fairbanks. The cabin has all of the amenities for your comfort while being in a forest-like setting, with amazing views. From September-April if the northern lights are out, you can view them right outside the cabin. Come and relax in this calm, stylish space. The aurora is right outside the cabin on any given night...
Side note: Staying in the city of Fairbanks makes viewing the northern lights extremly difficult due to light pollution. The cabin being a few miles outside of town makes it the perfect location and conditions for viewing the northern lights, having zero light polllution.

Our family of 3 had a good time. The cabin has a good space and everything you need. There is only one small heater in the living room, but it heats fast enough to make our stay comfortable. The cabin is about 8 miles from Fairbanks downtown in a quiet neighborhood. We didn’t see the northern lights, unfortunately, it was too cloudy, We recommend Trudy’s cabin.
We love staying at this little cabin. Great location and very comfortable. This was our second time here and this is our “go to” place to stay when we are in the Fairbanks area.

Beautiful cabin! Host was very communicative and friendly. Would highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay at Cozy Alaskan cabin. Owner communicated well and cabin was clean. We also got to see the northern lights overhead standing in the driveway.
Had a great stay at this cabin while in Fairbanks visiting our son. Clean and comfortable, great location, exceptional value for price. We will be staying there again!
Trudy was such a a wonderful host! Gave us tips to see the Aurora and was super communicative. The place had everything we needed. Not fancy, but comfy and fantastic location for the price! Saw the Northern lights right outside. And the view from the kitchen/dining room was so beautiful.
Will definitely stay again if /when we go back!
Our stay in this cozy cabin was great. Our first time to Alaska . Great location, close to everything. Our host, Trudy was very helpful . We saw the northern lights from outside our cabin which was amazing!!! Would stay again. Jeff and Pat, Tennessee
My stay at this property was wonderful, everything was clean and tidy, and very close to the various winter activities i had planned. I was quite lucky to see the northern lights on the first night. The property location is great as it is far enough away from Fairbanks to avoid the majority of the light pollution making it much easier to view the northern lights, but close enough that it does not take long to get anywhere within Fairbanks.
There was an issue with VRBO, however Trudy dedicated a considerable amount of time working with VRBO to resolve the issue. I would recommend this accommodation 100%.
This was a great place to stay and experience Alaska. We even walked out on the front porch and saw the Northern Lights. Thank you for sharing your little piece of Alaska!

This is indeed a cozy cabin. Lots of sunlight. Comfortable bed and kitchen/ living room. Everything you need is there. About 10 miles away from stores,restaurants and downtown Fairbanks. We decided to rent a car and it worked out well. The pricing of the cabin was very reasonable compared to typical hotels in the area. Definitely worth considering a visit.
We loved staying here. The host was very helpful. The cabin is updated and lovely. It has a full kitchen. The location was perfect for touring the area attractions.
Very nice little cabin nestled in the perfect location overlooking the Fairbanks lights. Cozy and perfect for our weekend trip to Fairbanks. Thank you Trudy for sharing your cabin with us for the weekend. We enjoyed the hospitality.
I did enjoy everything about it except the windows and stove top where not fully cleaned up befor i got there but this is nothing to me. I thank you for the stay.

Trudy was helpful, friendly and communicated extremely well. She is a friendly host and the cabin easy to access. Her cozy cabin is quiet and away from light pollution for hunting the aurora. We saw some amazing lights early morning of March 21 from the comfort of the cabin’s driveway.

Beautiful cabin that my wife and I absolutely loved! The rate was beyond reasonable. Definitely a hidden gem.
This cottage was a comfortable and fairly well-equipped place for a couple to stay while hoping to get lucky with an Aurora Borealis display. The description of the cabin having an Aurora view is a bit of a stretch. You can see a bit between the trees, but it's not a great view, and the next door neighbors' lights interfere. You really have to drive somewhere to get a good view (watch the Aurora app and be prepared to go out in the wee hours; our best viewing occurred between 1 and 3 am). Ask locals for suggestions about where to go.About the house: nice automatic light to reduce the risk of slipping while entering, but watch the step down into the living area and up into the bedroom. The heat worked well, except in the bedroom (which we like cool anyway) and bathroom (which could use an auxiliary heat source). Good bed, good shower (although a little dark). Kitchen is pretty well supplied with glasses, dishes and pots and pans, but the set of kitchen knives is so bad it's dangerous - definitely needs replacing. Would be nice, since there's a microwave, if there were some microwavable containers (pyrex bowls/casseroles) for warming food, and some food storage containers for leftovers. We appreciated the spaciousness of the rooms and the quiet and scenic surroundings. Overall, a comfortable place to stay.
