About this property

Caribou Cabin in North Pole, Alaska

This rustic log cabin is situated in the woods on the outskirts of North Pole, Alaska. It is easily accessible in the winter months or in the summer. Guests don’t need to worry about the cold temperatures with a year-round heating system. The cabin is cozy even in the coldest of winter temperatures. The cabin has running water, full kitchen and full bathroom (shower and tub) inside the cabin. Caribou Cabin feels like a home away from home.

The kitchen has is full of necessities and niceties to make a trip more comfortable. The dining area has a table large enough to comfortably sit four adults. A highchair is available upon request. I do not keep it in the cabin, so please let me know if you need it prior to your arrival.

The living room has plenty of space to relax while you enjoy each other’s company or watch something on TV. Guests can easily log into their Netflix, Amazon, YouTube accounts, etc. with the available Wi-Fi. The futon collapses into a full size (or double) bed with all the necessary linens in the cabin if needed.

The cabin has a full bathroom with bathtub/shower. There is a washing machine and dryer located inside the cabin for use.

Upstairs in the loft, is the bedroom with a queen bed and an open closet and dresser. A pack ‘n play is available upon request. I do not keep it in the cabin, so please let me know if you need it prior to your arrival.

Up to two pets are welcome, but I do ask that you contact me prior to booking just so I am aware before your arrival. We do ask guests to only bring pets that are potty trained, that they clean up after their pets, and that are not left unattended.

The cabin is off a cut-de-sac at the end of a gravel road so there is not a lot of traffic noise. We have a large storage garage/shop next door to the cabin. My husband is a retired contractor and still has some equipment parked across from the cabin, but none of it should be run during your stay.

On the day of check-in (usually around 2 PM), I will send a check in information, including the deadbolt code. Guests will then be able to check in at your convenience. If there are any issues, I will have added the phone number that is listed through the account to my favorites list and it will ring through to me day or night. I am also just a few minutes away, so if something needs my immediate attention, I can be there in just a few minute.

This property features exterior safety cameras facing towards the parking area and driveway. The internet is for the cabin is Starlink, so please be aware the speed can fluctuate.

Parking is in front of the porch.

Really enjoyed our stay at Caribou Cabin! We’ve stayed at the adjacent property in the past and Jamie is a great host. Cabin is very comfortable, well-stocked and ready, and super convenient to the bases, as well as all the activities in North Pole-Fairbanks and beyond.

Fantastic little cabin

We had a wonderful week in Fairbanks and could not have been happier with this little cabin! Very, very clean and had everything we needed! My wife has already decided this will be our go-to location for future visits to see our daughter. Thank you Jamie for a great place to stay!

Caribou Cabin North Pole

I stayed at this beautiful cabin in North Pole Alaska for a few days in July. Went to Chena Lake every day to go kayaking with my dogs. We came back every night tired but relaxed. The cabin is so comfortable and clean. We will definitely be back soon.

My daughter came to visit from California and wanted to see the northern lights. We got to see them from the cabin which is what we were hoping. Cute place, plenty of space, had all the things we needed.

Adorable cabin!

My husband and I needed a place to stay for a few days with our little pups in tow. This cabin was super convenient to the town of North Pole and had all the amenities we needed to be comfortable. This host has a few places to stay at, and we’ve enjoyed each one over the last couple of visits!

Wonderful cabin

This is a beautiful lil cabin nestled among the trees. Good location not far from North Pole and just a quick little drive to Fairbanks. Our main goal was to chase the Northern Lights but we found on one spectacular night all we had to do was walk outside our door …. It was the topper for our trip. Highly recommend this place!
