About this property

Cozy two bedroom log cabin on the Chena River near town.

One bedroom has a queen size bed, the other two twins. There is also a carpeted attached garage that gives additional space and has a double bed. You actually enter the house through the garage so, except for the door that makes it handy to bring in luggage, you wouldn't know it's a garage.

It sits on a three and a half acre lot right next to the cabin with the addition that we have used for VRBO for the past two years. The original owner built what is now our home for them and this cabin for his folks in the 1950’s. We have lived here for 50 years and find it a special place.

We started doing VRBO in this house this spring. Have been doing it next door for two years and love it. We did bed and breakfast here many years ago but found it confining. Now that w e are older and can't do so many things it is perfect.

Bob was drafted out of a GP residency at Sacramento County Hospital in 1962 and sent to Bassett Hospital on Ft. Wainwright. We epaid our own way up because we didn't want to stay longer than 18 months. He soon extended so we could get base housing and continued to extend until they told him he had to get out of the army or transfer to another base.

At that point we rented a little house on 5 acres near our present house and moved everything in our riverboat. They would move is back to Oregon, our home of residency within a year. We never left.

The lady that owned our present house came by to collect money for a neighbor that did the snow plowing. Later they went to California so their daughter could get braces and asked if we'd like to rent their bigger house. We did. We
