The Aurora Ridge Cabin was great! We really enjoyed our stay and Kristen was amazing. There were so many personal touches that really made it feel welcoming and like home away from home. The only slight downside was that it's a bit close to a main road and you could hear it from time to time but otherwise it was amazing!

Relaxing Home

We really enjoyed staying here. There was plenty of space for our family. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets. The kitchen had plenty of supplies, even in the pantry. It was nice to have a full sized table for the family to sit at when we ate together. WiFi worked well. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Fairbanks.

Why they chose this property

Nestled amidst a serene forest setting, the cabin offers stunning, unobstructed views of the northern sky—ideal for watching the Aurora Borealis dance across the horizon.

The location struck a balance we couldn’t resist: it’s close enough to Fairbanks for easy access to amenities, yet far enough away to feel like you’ve escaped into the wilderness.

What we enjoy most about this area is the tranquility it provides. You can step outside and feel completely immersed in nature, with the crisp Alaskan air, towering evergreens, and a sense of peaceful seclusion. It’s a place where you can truly unwind, recharge, and connect with the breathtaking surroundings that make Alaska so unique.

What makes this property unique

There are a few things that make Aurora Ridge Cabin truly special. First, our cabin offers an unobstructed view of the northern sky, far from the glow of city lights. If you’re visiting Fairbanks to catch the Aurora Borealis, this is the perfect spot to witness nature’s most magical show.

The cabin’s location is another highlight—close enough to town for convenience, yet far enough away to provide an authentic Alaskan experience. It’s the ideal blend of accessibility and seclusion, giving you the best of both worlds.
