One bedroom has a queen size bed, the other two twins. There is also a carpeted attached garage that gives additional space and has a double bed. You actually enter the house through the garage so, except for the door that makes it handy to bring in luggage, you wouldn't know it's a garage.

It sits on a three and a half acre lot right next to the cabin with the addition that we have used for VRBO for the past two years. The original owner built what is now our home for them and this cabin for his folks in the 1950’s. We have lived here for 50 years and find it a special place.

    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!

    Other than the bed sheets being a bit dusty everything else was great. Close to everything we wanted to do and close to the city to have access to nessary shopping. It had a laundry machine and detergent so we could wash the comforters our self. The cabin also had fishing poles, and lawn game activities so you can be entertained. It was cozy and the heater works very well, but it is a bit loud when it turns on. All in all, a very good experience.

    This is a nice place with a cabin feel and 3 different sleeping areas. It is stocked for cooking, has books and other entertainment plus a beautiful view of the river. I thought it was more secluded when we booked it but it worked well for us. We went to the Arctic Circle and Chena hot springs. Long drive to the circle but Chena hot springs less than an hour away and totally worth it. Martha communicated everything clearly.

    This little place could be so nice if some time was spent cleaning it up. The kitchen was dirty. The microwave was very dirty, some of the glasses and cups had lip prints on them, the shelves were covered in dust and food. The carpet was very dirty (turned my socks black). Really nice view of the river, picnic table, lots of birds. Very quite. But needs lots of TLC.

    We did not meet our host in person, but she was responsive to all our texts and emails. We liked the cabin for its authentic Alaskan feel and it's great location on the Chena River. It was handy to downtown Fairbanks and my Brothers house in the Chena Ridge area.

    We loved this cozy 1950s log cottage. Views of the river were great from the living room and the back yard. Very quiet and peaceful. Nice location for visiting the Fairbanks area. Our only complaint: The owner got her dates mixed up, so the house wasn't cleaned and ready for us when we arrived - it really needed a deep cleaning/dusting too, overall.

    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.

    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.

    This is really a great property. It's an older cabin, but is very comfortable and has everything you would normally need. The location is great with stores and a coffee shop within walking distance, not to mention close to the college. The listing really undersell the river view and the close proximity to the river, it’s really quite beautiful. Also, we got an amazing Aurora Borealis show in the backyard because there is very little light pollution at this property. We can’t wait to go back.

    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.
