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.

    Property is the best! Close to Fairbanks and yet far enough to be considered rural. The house is perfect for those going to the various parks along Chena Hot Springs road. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house is stocked with enough supplies so you’ll feel like you’re staying at a five star hotel. I would 100 percent stay here again.

    Great cabin , great area in general for aurora viewing, outfront of the cabin you can see them preatty well just alot of tree cover but if you just drive out of the driveway you get some insane viewpoints just next to the house or along the road arriving to the house. Theres even an area to park and watch them towards the entrance of the neighborhood after getting off the highway this is where i saw one of the best auroras while there.

    The cabin was very clean, warm, and comfortable. Tucked away in the woods. Great views. Saw two moose in the neighbor's yard. We had all we needed at our finger tips. Would definitely stay here again. It was -20 highs and -30 lows, 3ft of snow on the ground during our stay. Everything is beautiful under this snow.

    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.

    Out of the way from crowds. Toilet seat needs tightened. It moves 3-4 inches side to side. If I come back to Alaska I will be looking at this cabin again.

    Cute cabin in a quiet area. We were in Fairbanks for a memorial service and it was great to have a quiet place off the beaten path to stay for the night before we returned to Anchorage. We didn’t need to use the kitchen, but it looked like we could have cooked meals here easily if needed. Would recommend.

    My wife and I had a good stay at this home. It was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and the location, while a few minutes N of Fairbanks, was close enough to explore from. The owner Trudy, was receptive and promptly answered our questions before and during our stay. We’d like to return here someday.

    Great little cabin. Great view from behind the cabin as well. The heater is small but it more than does the job! We were sweating at one point from putting it @80 degrees haha. It was -30 when we were there for context. Water comes out hot and stays hot. WiFi was easy enough. They do have a tv and it does work. Nights in Fairbanks seem to end decently early so Netflix was cool. The hosts are great communicators by the way!

    We had wonderful time at this place. We could see northern lights right out of the cabin. All the amenties provided were great. We will definitely keep this place in our mind when we come back sometime in future.

    Step from bedroom and front door dangerous without night light or reflective device. My husband fell and dislocated his shoulder.

    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.

    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.

    Enjoyed our time at the cabin with some caveats. Great communication and opportunity to see the Northern Lights both at the cabin and in the vicinity. Could not beat the price compared to other options we observed. Comfy furniture and very clean. Great shower. Trudy was very helpful when we requested to extend our stay to further our attempt to see the Northern Lights and with viewing location options. A couple of things of note. Unreported steps creating issues if mobility challenged both inside the front door and exiting the bedroom. Cabin warmed by small heating unit in the living room leaving cabin cold in some areas(bedroom/bathroom). No extension cord provided to plug in car as plug is about 20 or so feet from the parking space. Rental car cord much too short, so we donated a 25-footer.

    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%.

    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!

    Last January I booked a couple of VRBOs in the area for a family vacay in Fairbanks this month - July 2024. It was my first time booking and I didn't make it clear that I was booking this one for my brother & his wife. The confusion that I created between the host, her name is Trudy, and VRBO had to be cleared up, which Trudy and I were easily able to do, thanks to her patience. The cabin was adorable, clean, and met all John's & Tonya's needs while being private and off the beaten path. One night Trudy called to tell them the Auroras were out, giving my brother & his wife a fabulous viewing from their front yard! It was a truly perfect location and home away from home for this trip. Thanks Trudy!!! We'd stay in your house any time!!
