We had a wonderful stay in Colleen’s beautiful home. We thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous views while eating in the warm kitchen and comfortable living room. It was great for us that the house was fully stocked with a whole kitchen of equipment and was very kid-friendly. Our young children loved the toy kitchen right in the adult one. Colleen was very communicative and helpful, and we appreciated the thoughtful information about the house and the area she provided to help guide us during our visit.

Cute cabin in the woods

The cabin was in a great location. Not far from town while still getting the isolated vibe. It’s also nice to know that the owners are on property that in case of any trouble (which we didn’t have any).

Great place for our winter Alaska trip

The house was great, had plenty of room and was very clean. It had everything we needed. The views are wonderful. The Northern Lights weren't especially active while we were there, but we were able to see some a couple of nights from the deck. Overall, a wonderful place to stay while we did things in and around Fairbanks.

Amazing Comfy Cabin

My husband and I came to Fairbanks to celebrate our 20 year anniversary by watching the Northern Lights. We were comfy in this secluded cabin and it was so convenient to jump on the road to get to Murphy Dome to see the Northern Lights at their best. We love staying a little outside of town and would highly recommend staying here!
