The cabin was cozy and warm. We enjoyed our stay.We even got to see a baby moose and her mother very close to the cabin. We didn't like going to the outhouse, but we got used to it. Not having a shower was the worst part; we managed though.

Thank you for staying with us! We’re glad you found the cabin cozy and warm and even had the special experience of seeing a mother moose and her baby nearby. As noted in our listing, this is an authentic Alaskan dry cabin with a private heated outhouse and no shower. We understand that this style of accommodation isn’t for everyone, but we appreciate you embracing the experience and hope you enjoyed your time in Fairbanks!

This cabin in the woods is magnificent! The area is picturesque with easy access. My favorite stay of the entire trip! These hosts have thought of everything and you will not feel as tho you are suffering in a dry cabin! Lol The bed is extremely comfortable and if you are traveling with a pet, they thought of them too! Clearly the hosts have big hearts, good taste, and a nack for hospitality. I can't wait to book again this winter!

Cozy cabin

My wife daughter and I had a good experience at the Fox and Chickadee cabin. Andy was a great host. Wi-Fi was great, my wife and I were able to work remotely. Kitchen had all essential items for cooking. We filled the 5 gallon water jugs for free with spring water at fox springs (2331 Elliot hwy) brand new facility. We were there for all of June and there were mosquitoes.

Adorable peaceful cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at the very beautifully decorated cabin in the woods. The host even accommodated us having our dog and needing a late check out. Place was very clean, the bed was comfy. Lots of pillows and blankets, plus a full size fridge and gas stove/oven. It even has an air conditioner, which is a luxury In Alaska. We don’t even have one in our home. Easy to find and conveniently located to lots of shopping and food in just a 15 min drive. Thanks again from the Sutton Family.

Overall it deserves a 5, mainly for communication. Days before check in, and while there, property owners communicated very well to ensure all needs were met. It's most important for me because it was my 1st trip outside the lower 48 and I'm always concerned.. this property management made me very comfortable. And of course the rest is important also...Very clean, has every amenity you'll ever need..fridge, oven/gas stove, water pump for running water, utensils, ect. It's only about 15 minutes from city, but far enough where you'll feel peaceful.

Adorable cabin. Comfy bed and couch, stove, microwave and fridge. No running water but plenty of drinking water in large jugs. Great location close to town but feels far away. Be aware there is no flush toilet or shower (outhouse is available on site.) Not a big deal for me, I have an Alaska Club membership and a 10 minute drive gets me to a shower. This is common in Alaska in areas of permafrost (which I know as I’m Alaskan) but worth mentioning to those who might not know. Price is like 1/4 what a hotel would cost and you can cook (stovetop and oven), have a fridge, freezer, toaster, even a fire pit outside it you are there in the summer. Amazing little place that I would highly recommend both as a comfortable home base (electricity, TV and internet included) for Alaskans, and a way to experience Alaska living at a place close to town for those from out of state.

Wonderful Cabin

We loved the cabin, and the hosts were very easy to communicate with. We asked for a few extra towels, and they arrived in just a few short hours - we really appreciated this. There are a few things I would have liked to know before we arrived, but they would not have deterred us from staying - we just might have been better prepared. 1. There is really no closet or dresser to unpack in and we had to leave everything in our suitcases. If I had known that I would have probably packed a little differently. 2. We are campers and no stranger to rustic bathroom facilities, but the very narrow path through the snow to the outhouse was an ankle twister. If I had known that in advance, I might have taken the host up on his offer for an inside "camp toilet" for an extra fee.If you are prepared for those few things I would highly recommend this cabin. It feels very rural, but still within a short driving distance to town and several landmarks. We had a wonderful time visiting Chena Hot Springs, Fairbanks, and Murphys Dome. At Murphy's Dome we saw the most spectacular full clear sky Aurora Borealis display!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Overall, I would have given the whole property 5 stars, but I was horrified to see the sanctions in the message the owner sent me after renting it. Usually such properties have a separate toilet outside. But the owner put a portable toilet inside the property for the convenience of the guests and sent me instructions to clean it. That is, he wrote that after using it, I should dump the dirty waste somewhere. I don't know how to clean the unit. And he wrote that if I don't clean it, he will charge me a hefty mitar cleaning fee. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the restroom, it's horrible. In all facilities, the cleaning fee belongs to the property owner, he should know that... He also wrote that if the empty water jug melts, he will be fined. He should have built a safe for water jugs. He also wrote that there is no garbage collection service in the Arctic and that we should take them with us. I have stayed in 8 different resorts in the Arctic and I have never heard such frightening demands. He wrote and pasted many instructions about TV, Heater, Air Conditioning and other things. It was a horrible experience. Never again....
