Spectacular view
We spent 6 nights here, hoping to see the Aurora. Unfortunately, nature was not cooperating, but we had a most wonderful visit. The views are spectacular, the house has everything one needs. We enjoyed several activities nearby. The only "complaint" is that the hanging lights over the island were extremely dusty and they are easily reachable to dust. For a hefty cleaning fee, I shouldn't have to dust anything!

Perfect
Great cabin with views of distant snow covered mountains. Perfect for the four of us with plenty of room for more. The home is very well supplied. Colleen was very helpful with any questions we had about the area and trying to help see the Auroras. Thanks Colleen for the perfect stay in Fairbanks.

Cozy log home in the woods
We loved our stay here. It was so nice to come back each afternoon and relax with the warmth from the wood stove. The view is spectacular! There was plenty of room for the four of us. We had everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds are comfortable. The flannel sheets were perfect for this time of year. I would recommend this home. Thank you, Colleen.
