We had a wonderful stay!! We came to the area for a friend's wedding, and it was perfect! The location was exactly where we needed, setting beautiful, and close enough to anything and everything we wanted to do. It was stocked very well and had everything we would need. We can't wait to come back in the winter to see the Northern Lights! Absolutely would stay again!

We had a fantastic stay, host was quick to respond and would check in often to see how everything was going. Would definitely recommend a SUV or truck to get to the property as its a dirt road and there are a lot of potholes. We rented a truck but still had to slowly make are way back to the property otherwise property was very clean and had everything needed to make our stay comfortable.

Second stay and so happy to have gone back! Sweet cabin and great location. Not too secluded where we couldn’t get anywhere easily, but we were able to see the northern lights from the front yard. Check out what is already at the cabin before grocery shopping. There are a lot of items already stocked!
Right from the front yard!
Dark enough to see the lights but not too far from the town center.
Really beautiful and charming cabin!

Short work trip

Great little place in a great location just outside of main North Pole. My coworker really liked the outside bench swing while the property has other great amenities such as a fire pit and a sauna. The inside was very nice with a full kitchen, a nice living room with two big couches, and the upstairs had a couple beds. Fantastic place where I hope that we can stay again.

Cabin Getaway

The cabin was very charming, and the pictures didn’t quite do it justice. We enjoyed lounging around comfortably after a long day of hiking out near Chena Hot Springs. I would definitely try to book this place again if/when we get to return!

Great cozy cabin!

We chose this VRBO based on location and it was awesome. Tucked away in the trees, it was private but convenient. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed and if there was something needed, Andy was quick to respond. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re in Fairbanks.
