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.
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!
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.
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.
Perfect cabin! Close to Fairbanks for easy/quick trips into town. Well built and quiet. Some reviews mentioned highway noise…this truly was not an issue for us. If the windows are closed, you will not hear anything. Would absolutely rent again in the future
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.
The cabin is beautiful and perfect for 2 to 4 people. Very clean, owners messaged us saying the cabin was clean and where to find the keys. Definitely will be staying here again when we travel to Alaska in the future. Nice sized kitchen with stove, microwave, and full size fridge/freezer. Bathroom was a nice size and had a good sized shower. Perfect distance from Fairbanks. There was some noise from the road but not enough to disturb sleeping, mostly heard noise during the day.

Loved it!
Great location. Out of the city but not remote. The cabin is as it looks in the pictures, very cute and homey. No other way to stay in Fairbanks but in a real cabin. Only real surprise was a 500 gallon water tank. But with 3 females we had no problems. I would definitely recommend this rental to friends and family.
Rod had the heat turned up ready for us when we got there. Cute cabin, complete accommodations - kitchen (with lots, pans, dinnerware, plates, everything needed) if you want to cook. Full size refrigerator, good size bathroom. We only stayed downstairs, but there is room for more people to sleep in the upstairs loft.
Right by the road, could hear a big truck go by now and then, but did not hear “regular” vehicles.
We visited with them during our visit, great visit and they are very friendly.
Would stay here again, recommend this place.
We enjoyed our stay but had a little trouble with the road noise. The noise is pretty constant during the day but does reduce at night. The cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable. They have to bring in water (there was plenty when we were there) so they ask you to conserve water. We had no problem with that, but didn't know until we got there so that was a bit of a surprise. Never met the owners but the guestbook spoke positively of them. Overall, it was a nice stay.
The pictures posted of this cabin were spot on. The place was immaculate and it was everything I hoped it would be. We had a marvelous stay. Thank you Rod!
We really enjoyed it. Love the location in relations to Fairbanks. It is right off the highway and a bit noisy but doable. Not as isolated as I hoped but it was still a great choice for us.
