LOCATION
This cabin is perfectly sandwiched between downtown Fairbanks and the Chena Hot Springs Resort, cozily tucked in genuine Alaskan woods. Far enough removed from Fairbanks light pollution for perfect Aurora viewing but still a comfortable (and gorgeous) drive in for groceries or dinner in town. As gorgeous as the drive in to town is, its even better out to Chena hot springs resort. This location cuts the drive in half from town to the Hot Springs to allow for an easy evening of fun at the resort. You don't need a room there to enjoy their phenomenal restaurant and bar or to buy a day pass for a soak in the springs!
Come experience this cabin for yourself as the perfect romantic Arctic getaway.

**** This cabin is an Alaskan escape. A place to be away, to enjoy the outdoors and to immerse yourself in a world revolved around the true peace of wild spruce trees and quiet life. There is no provided Wi-Fi (cell data works great for most providers and I use my hotspot for my laptop). My service provider is Verizon and it works wonderfully.

THE CABIN
A gorgeous combination of the heavy wood cabin in your Alaskan dream vacation with a modern flare. One of the best features? The spaciously luxurious loft. Fitted with a king size bed, canopy curtains and a view of the 5 acres of Alaskan woods this property sits on. Walk down the stairs each morning to the sunrise glow streaming in through the large windows that adorn the entire cabin. This stay is brimming with natural light and a feel of the outdoors. Even once the sun is down, dimmable up lighting allows for the feel of daylight no matter the time of day. Faux furs and blankets adorning the entire place keeps the cabin soft, warm and a cozy environment you wont want to leave. The living space is outfitted with expertly picked out, upscale wicker furnishings that are pet friendly, allowing for FULL washable coverings and a complete clean wipe down for no lingering smells or dandruff. Pristine, for each new guest to make the cabin their own vacation. A full kitchen with an open floor plan to the living areas will be the sweetest place for a dinner in or a hearty breakfast before your days adventure. One of the most exciting aspects? Staying out in the woods WITHOUT an outhouse! A beautiful full bathroom with a large tub, shower and décor to suit a relaxing getaway.

***Please note *** Well water has been tested and is safe for consumption. The hot water has a slight sulphur odor (shower). If this would be a problem for you we recommend considering another rental.
***The third bedroom with the twin bed is accessed THROUGH the master loft. AKA you will be walking past the king bed to get to this room. Once you are in the 3rd bedroom, the door shuts completely and is entirely private.

Great place to stay
The cabin is super cozy, a real labor of love. We were lucky to have multiple nights of seeing the aurora during our visit, but enjoyed watching it most right outside the cabin. We also enjoyed the private dog mushing and our dog team made it a very enjoyable experience. Overall we had a great time, and hope to be back again someday. Highly recommend!

Perfect cabin, Great location & Sled dog demo on site!
The cabin was perfect for our group of 4 adults. We enjoyed having a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. It was an easy distance to drive to the hot springs and we enjoyed seeing moose on the drive. We added the dog sled demonstration on to our stay and enjoyed the experience. As a tourist, you don't often get the opportunity to interact with your host. Meeting Elke and her dogs was a highlight of our trip to Alaska. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin and your mushing stories with us.

About the host

Hosted by Elke Konetski

Host profile image
Elke has raised her sled dogs from the minute they were born. They are family, Alaska with sled dogs isn't work, its a lifestyle. Before starting this business and passion project, she worked for 3 separate tour companies to now bring together a full understanding of the best way to share this life. What makes for a uniquely exceptional experience that brings gusts more on what this life with sled dogs truly can be. Her passion, work and life is revolved around her dogs. Elke believes in TOP care for her dogs in every aspect. They get the best food, care, love and play possible. When Elke isn't sharing this life with others, she is free playing with her dogs on the 40 acres they call home or out exploring Alaska with them on multiday camp trips. All of her dogs have the best life there is for a dog.... and human too! Free play, free walks, team runs and group snuggle time is a daily routine. Silver Ace Sled Dogs is the best way to enjoy a genuine trip with sled dogs and the true beauty of Alaska.
