Private Getaway Cabin near Hot Springs

Everything was wonderful. If back in the area would definitely return to this property. I would recommend to anyone that is going to fairbanks AK.

We enjoyed our time at this property. The grandkids loved playing in the yard. The property was clean, cozy and away from the city!

Beautiful, rustic, cozy cabin. Made us feel like we were experiencing real Alaska.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin. The location was great for aurora viewing and all the outdoor activities we had planned. The host was always responsive and very accommodating with our checkout time, for which we are very grateful. The cabin was well stocked with games, movies, pots and pans, towels, laundry items and paper goods. They even supplied the coffee! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Russell and Monique for allowing us to stay in your lovely cabin.

We loved the cabin when we stayed here a few years ago, and we were excited to return! The cabin was the perfect spot… far enough away from town to hopefully see the northern lights, but close enough for day trips to surrounding areas.

It was a great stay. Everything worked, the kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of towels, the beds were very comfortable. Also, the access and parking was easy with plenty of room and the Aurora viewing was great. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in a beautiful Alaskan Cabin.

Well, we have been to this property many times the one thing that makes the property great other than the location is Monique and Russell they’re always so accommodating and helpful. The property itself is great. It’s a little getaway into the wilderness on the edge of civilization. Best of both worlds. It’s what we call our home away from home. it’s a place where you can see wildlife and the northern lights. don’t hesitate and book this and for you older people my wife and I are 70 years old and we’re going to do this just as long as we can because it’s that special.we go every year and we love it each and every time the northern lights are different every time it’s a new adventure every year that we go

The hosts were extremely helpful, super responsive and offered some fun suggestions for our winter holiday trip - they even put up a Christmas tree for our winter holiday visit!!

We loved the cabin. It was decorated so lovely, was very clean and organized and in the perfect secluded spot for our Alaska getaway. Would def stay here again.

We had a wonderful time at red bear den. The back yard is absolutely perfect for Aurora viewing! The host was very responsive to any queries, and the full size fridge and laundry were added bonuses. Highly recommend!

House is very comfortable. Host was very accommodating.

My family (my parents, my wife, and I – four adults) stayed at the Red Bear Den for three nights from September 16 to 18. This was our first time using Vrbo, and the experience was excellent. The Bear Den was clean, tidy, and beautifully decorated — it truly felt like home.The location is perfect, right between downtown Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs. We also found it to be a much better value than the nearby igloos, which were far more expensive.On our very first night, we saw the northern lights for the first time in our lives! They lasted for about three hours, and it was an unforgettable experience. What made it even more special was that we could watch them right from the Bear Den’s backyard — no need to drive half an hour away to escape city lights. It felt private, comfortable, and magical.We also made a trip to Chena Hot Springs to enjoy the hot springs and visit the Aurora Ice Museum, which was only a 30-minute drive from the cabin. Back at the Bear Den, we had great fun playing the scavenger hunt.The host couple was very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely choose the Bear Den again if we return to Fairbanks in the future.

The cabin was awesome!! It was secluded and quiet, but still close to coffee. We enjoyed relaxing and having direct tv accessible. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were great! We had the perfect place to park, right outside the door. The extra large back yard was the perfect place to watch the skies for the auroras.

The location of the cabin is great, and the cabin is gorgeous, the yard is well maintained and beautiful. I appreciate that the host is very generous to offer from linens, kitchen, to family entertainment. We definitely want to come back again, hopefully this winter

Wonderful stay I would highly recommend this place to others. We loved it and great hosts

As our 1st VRBO stay it was outstanding! The Smiths thoughtful provide everything you will need and cabin is great. Everyone agreed we would eagerly stay here again.

5 nights here, exploring in every direction. This cabin is awesome! Everything we needed and then some! WellMaintained and Very clean! Very good communication with the hosts, let us arrive a little early, didn’t need anything while there, but they have a game you can play to win a prize counting bears… let me tell you it’s not easy, but we got it right! Would recommend this place to anyone looking in that area and we would definitely stay again!

Very nice place to stay, had no issues.

The weather turned for the worse a few weeks prior to our stay. We hoped for the best and got snow several days but the Aurora showed us what we needed the last night there. So incredible we caught it. Great accommodations and the Pizza Bus did not disappoint. Pleasant Valley store had a nice mix of things you need as well. Thanks for the great stay Alaska!

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. Great place to see the Aurora! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Wonderful host and prompt to answer questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing! Great place to view the northern lights. The Pizza Bus was the best in show, amazing pizza off the beaten path!

It’s one of my favorite places to go. We have stayed at this property several times Russell and Monique are really good people and wonderful host house feels like home very relaxing. There’s just a piece in a tranquility you get staying at this property. to me, it’s the perfect place to stay far enough away from town to get the quiet yet close enough to do all of the fun things you would wanna do. There’s a lot of trails to hike around there. It’s perfect.

This house is ideally located between Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs. Everything is as it appears in the photos. Clean and comfortable. Wintertime in Alaska is something to experience. Thank you Monique and Russell for the opportunity to enjoy it once again.

The house is beautiful and clean. Has everything you need. The location is perfect for peace and nature, and auroras 100%. There’s a grocery store very near. We loved it and 100% recommend it.

Lovely rustic property in an area with no light pollution. We are from Florida and it was very cold when we were there, but even with the thermostat at the upper end of the instructed settings, we found the house to be drafty. There were instructions not to use the wood stove. We suspect that if the wood stove had been available we would have been toasty warm. Hosts were very responsive and gave us great information to alert us to the Aurora websites and how to interpret them. They were also responsive to issues with the microwave and television set. Really appreciated the large washer and dryer and the dishwasher. The driveway was plowed for us and there is a plug available for your car in the outdoor parking spot. The back porch was not shoveled for us and we really needed that and some space in the backyard to get good pictures of the Aurora. We called the hosts to ask about snow shovels and they do have two shovels - one near the garbage bins and one in the green tent - so we were able to shovel out an area to use. Lots of hot water. Full size refrigerator. Plenty of coffee pods for the Keurig and quite a few supplies provided. Would have liked a soup ladle and an electric can opener - manual can be a little tough for old hands., but overall adequate dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, and kitchenalia. Well located for visiting North Pole and Cheena Hot Springs.

Great! Everything as stated on site. Family had a great time!

We had a wonderful stay at the Red Bear Den. The home is cozy and clean. Lots of little extras in the kitchen and showers. Host were great and responded quickly. Saw lights dance across the sky in the yard for one of our nights.

Very nice - a real “cabin in the woods” feel - both in the outside area and the interior decor! Very quiet area, very nicely furnished and everything works!

Very nice home. Our reason for visiting Fairbanks was to see the northern lights and WOW did we ever…right out our front door! Two nights of our stay we saw the lights and they were beautiful…no need to leave home. The host was very accommodating and helpful with information about northern lights viewing and very excited for us when I told her we saw them from the house.
