Hand built log cabin less than 5 miles from Fairbanks and Ester, 8 miles from Fairbanks International airport and an easy 22 miles on the highway to Santa Claus House and downtown North Pole. Very convenient location for visiting the Fairbanks area. The house has a queen size bed and a sofa . This cabin is only suitable for 2 GUESTS due to its size, us having to haul water for it and the time needed for cleaning. Less than 5 minutes up the road is a nice hiking trail that can take you all theway to Ester Dome. The village of Ester offers the Golden Eagle Saloon where you can meet friendly locals and grill your own burger. During the summer months the Malemute Saloon is open as well as historic old mining buildings. On your way to visit Ester you will also pass the friendly log cabin Ester post office. About five minute drive to Fairbanks brings you to Lemongrass, one of Fairbanks' favorite Thai restaurants. There are also two convenience stores nearby (Ester Gas and Gold Hill gas station) as well as large grocery stores (about 6 miles) such as Safeway and Fred Meyer.

There is a nice bike path in front of the house that can take you to Ester or to Fairbanks. All of the Fairbanks area, especially the University of Alaska and its museum, is close by and the drive to Fairbanks is a short five minutes on the highway.

Downtown Fairbanks, Fairbanks Farmer's Market, Pioneer Park and many other Fairbanks tourist destinations are within 15 minute drive. A little longer drive will be to North Pole, Chena Hot Springs and Chatanika Lodge.

    Loved the cabin and the screened porch. It was a little close to the main highway so did hear traffic noise

    This place was excellent. Our hosts hand-built this log cabin, and while it has so many great features, our favorite feature was the (completely) screened-in porch that allowed us to sit outside, and enjoy our morning coffee & evening wine without getting bit by mosquitos. I don't know of anywhere else in the Fairbanks area that provides a mosquito-free outdoor experience. Even the screen-room's tall wall was great because it blocked the setting sun from hitting our eyes.Also, our hosts were super-nice and very fast to respond to any messages. Everything was as described (no surprises), and even though it's near the road, we didn't hear any car noise when the doors and double-pained windows were closed. We wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting the Fairbanks area.

    Perfect location, close enough to drive to everything easily! The listing did show that laundry facilities were on site, but they were not. A laundromat is in town though.

    The cabin was great, clean and neat and easy to find. Host was great to communicate with. The second bed is in an upstairs loft so our teen got a bit of space to himself. It was open so you can see/hear both rooms at all times if you have younger kids who want to play up there. That does mean if you want to stay up later than your kids upstairs, it is pretty hard to do unless they are really hard sleepers as they will hear you downstairs and the lights will also be visible.

    This place was absolutely wonderful, great space. Very well laid out, comfortable, and safe. Saw a few reviews about its proximity to the highway. This is not a concern. The road noise is minimal. The host was exceptionally friendly and easy to deal with.

    Beautiful and quaint cabin out of the city area, perfect for a little family retreat. The garden was just adorable and such a fun addition! Highly recommend this property for your Fairbanks retreat!

    We really enjoyed the cabin. It was very nicely decorated. Very clean and well stocked. It was right off a main road, but it didn’t bother us. It was a great location and very convenient to everything that we wanted to do.
