Lovely cabin in the woods

Just an awesome place to stay. Receptive host, beautiful setting and perfectly stocked space. The little extras were great - coffee, popcorn and access to laundry was very appreciated. Husband loved that felt our truck and belongings were secure. Thank you for a really memorable stay in beautiful Fairbanks.

Great value and peaceful

You do get your moneys worth. Well stocked kitchen with everything you need. Very clean beddings etc.The bathroom door squeaks a bit so a light sleeper upstairs may wake up when someone uses the doors.I would come again. It's cozy and surrounded by nature.

Great Place to Stay

Very nice cozy cabin secluded in the woods. Property owners have done an amazing job with this little cabin. And they were extremely nice in that they had the driveway plowed for us so we could get out after a heavy October snow. Would highly recommend it.

Pure Alaska feel

Clean, well kept, stocked cabin. The perfect Alaska feel. Surrounded by dense woods, but only a few minutes from the main road. Every thing you need (kitchen, full bathroom, comfy beds, washer/dryer) is right here.

Clean and peaceful

We loved our stay in the cabin! It was so clean and enjoyable. We cooked some meals and relaxed there. They were excellent hosts and quick to respond to everything. Even gave us firewood to use but we ran out of time. Beds were so comfy.

wish to stay longer

Hannah and Drew are excellent resources for anyone from a state with little snow. They provided great packing ideas that made our trip more enjoyable. The cabin was cozy and clean, just as described on Vrbo. My family spent two wonderful nights there and wished we could have stayed longer.I particularly enjoyed preparing dinner at the cabin; however, I hope there’s a dishwasher for easier cleanup after our busy days of exploring! Additionally, having shower toiletries available would be a nice touch for future stays.

Didn't stay long

Unfortunately, we encountered an issue with the property that couldn't be rectified for us to remain. The property manager was extremely apologetic and recommended another place to stay and immediately refunded our money without us even asking. Although it wasn't a fun experience, Hannah was extremely responsive and helpful!

Needs work. Baseboard is missing in places. Several of the floor heating units did not have covers on them. While my children are old enough, those with smaller kids may not want to have to worry about their kids touching any of that. Appreciated the washer and dryer, but there was a load in the dryer and I didn’t know what to do with it. The refrigerated water bottles and snacks were very nice. Also, missing the shower drain trap so it’s just a pipe in the shower. It would be a great place once the projects are completed.

About the host

Hosted by Hannah Bryan

Host profile image
Hi! We’re Drew and Hannah Bryan.
Drew was born and raised in Alaska (right down the road in North Pole, actually) and
carries on the family construction business in Fairbanks with his brother. He loves snowboarding on Moose Mountain, hunting with his dad in the Brooks Range and snow machining anywhere… he is also the family grill master his wife’s personal baristo. Hannah was born and raised in the small, quiet town of Bedford, Virginia. She loves cooking and baking, spending time with family, crocheting and fishing for halibut in Valdez. Prior to motherhood and full time management of the Air B&B she worked as a midwife assistant and birth doula, something she hopes to return to one day. Our two very different worlds collided as teenagers through connection of family and friends ~ since then we’ve been inseparable.

Together, we love our “small town” of Fairbanks and hope that our cabin feels like a soft landing place for our guests as they travel our little portion of interior Alaska.
