About this property
Peaceful Hillside Refuge to Enjoy Aurora
Private and peaceful, this cozy cabin is located in boreal forest at the end of a private road close to Fairbanks. You will enjoy exclusive use of this retreat during your stay. The hooting of a great horned owl on the mountain behind the house is only rarely disturbed by the distant moan of the locomotive winding through the valley below.The property that this cabin and the main house sits on feels remote even though it is less than 15 minutes from shopping and Fairbanks International Airport.

Our hosts were amazing! They helped with anything we needed throughout the week. The cabin was perfectly cozy. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided breakfast foods, including fresh eggs. We absolutely loved our stay here.
Loved the out of town place. Offered fresh quail and chicken eggs when we ran out. Would recommend to anyone who just wants to get away from all the hustle and bustle of life.
Really enjoyed my stay and saw some great aurora from the front porch.

I like this lodge very much! Just 10-15 minutes drive from the hotel and 20-30 minutes drive to the murphy dome where I saw the perfect aurora. The lodge is like a refuge from the outside world, queit and cozy, everything inside is clean and easy to use. If I want to visit Alaska again, this lodge would be one of the most important reason.
Dan was so easy to work with; loved the little house, perfect for a 1 or 2-night stay (we only could work in a 1-overnighter); clean, easy to access, enjoyed our stay very much; highly recommend!

It felt like the perfect mix of being close to nature while still having all the comforts of home.The hosts clearly care about their guests and the property. Everything was well organized, instructions were clear, and the whole experience was smooth and welcoming from start to finish.If you’re visiting Fairbanks and looking for a quiet, scenic place to stay, I highly recommend Peaceful Hillside Refuge.
