Great location

We were a party of 3 adults and were here pre tour/cruise. We needed a place where we could come and go to see the lights and a place where we could have breakfast in and just enjoy being in Fairbanks. The cabin was wonderful. Nothing fancy but everything we needed. The weather was rainy but the view from the front of the cabin was wonderful. Looking out at the peace of the river, especially first thing in the morning.

Nice log cabin on the river

Location and setting were great with large windows overlooking the Chena river. Restaurants were a short drive away. Full well stocked kitchen with snacks and breakfast items. Washer and dryer. Although the cabin was comfortable, some items were well worn and could stand to be upgraded and the cabin itself would benefit from a thorough cleaning.

Relaxing location

Very quiet, relaxing location. Large windows give view of the activity on the river. Watched a beautiful fox come through the grassy area right outside the window. Easy access to grocery stores and eateries. Cabin is rustic but has all necessities plus more: bathroom, shower, appliances, blackout shades, WiFi. Lots of history in the cabin about the host family. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Alaskan cabin with the convenience of town.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bob and Mardee’s cabin. It was the perfect lodging for our visit to Fairbanks. With the picture windows overlooking the Chena River, moose ambling through the yard, and the hearty log construction, it is a quintessential Alaska cabin with a perfect location to launch any adventure in the Alaskan interior. It is a ten minute drive to the airport, walking distance to the University and a great coffee shop. The cabin is homey and comfortable. Bob and Mardee are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. It was nice to find the fridge and cupboards stocked with condiments and cooking basics. Furniture and bedding are comfortable after a long day of adventuring. All the windows have black out shades which helps during the long summer days. We would definitely choose to stay here again when we visit Fairbanks in the future.

We visited Fairbanks during the time in summer when sunlight is 24/7. The cabin is clean, spacious, comfortable and has huge windows. Fairbanks is amazing. Owners are wonderful. The Interior of Alaska is incredible. There was so much to see and do. Riverboat Cruise and Local Village Tour was exceptional. Everybody finds gold in their pan in the Gold Dredge 8 Historic Train Tour. During the Local Village Tour you can pet the dogs. There's a live demo of dog mushing. Ask them about their TX-sized polar bears. There was a determined, patient, genuine kindness wherever we went. The non-stop sunlight takes the notion of jet lag to a whole new level but we liked it and that's why we went there in the first place. Thank you so much!

Very quaint rustic little cabin. It could sleep more than what we thought. Not fancy but super homey and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Very nice quiet neighborhood and on the Chena River. It was right outside the living room windows. Great place to take the family and unwind. Nice big yard. I would stay there again definitely!!!

Gasp

After arriving, we were shocked that the property was listed as a vacation rental. The musky and moldy smell inside the cabin was overpowering. The furniture was very old, dusty, and stained in some spots. There were also stains on the ancient carpet. The bedding was also very old and the pillows paper thin. When looking under the hood over the stove we were shocked to find that it appeared as though it had never been cleaned. The converted garage to a bedroom was chilly with questionable wiring above head of the bed. Regrettably, for the reasons stated above, we were unable to stay in the cabin and had to seek other lodging.

Cozy cabin stay

Beautiful views from enormous living room windows. Pleasant and responsive host. Beds are comfy and the kitchen is very well stocked with cookware and basic food needs. The heat works well and keeps all but the converted garage bedroom toasty. Only complaints are that the towels and upholstered furnishings are worn and need to be replaced. The carpet could use cleaning too. That might help reduce the musty smell when you first walk in.. That being said, we would definitely want to stay here again. The area is safe and attractive. It’s a good location, fair price and really is a cozy cabin.
