Great Cabin in the Winter Wonderland
Enjoyed this cozy cabin with my son! About 50 yards from the river and while there is a cabin next door, it's very private. Enjoyed the local ice carving, sled dog tour and ice fishing. Didn't see the northern lights this time but have to leave something for the next trip! Def recommend this place!

Great cabin. Saw some northern lights.
Great cabin with some great hosts. The cabin is outside of town a little, which makes it very peaceful. My wife and I visited to see some northern lights and did not get disappointed. It was really cold in January, but the cabin had in-floor heating and was cozy. The kitchen is small (no garbage disposal, or dishwasher) but had everything we needed. I hope to go back in the summer to see some wildlife.

Chasing the Lights
My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Riverbend Cabins. We stayed in the Chinook Cabin, and it was warm, cozy and inviting. You have everything you need to cook a meal, and the view is just beautiful. Heather was kind enough to text us when the northern lights were out, and also when there was a moose in the yard! We would not hesitate to recommend staying in the Riverbend Cabins to others.

Very nice and super cozy cabin. Far away from the city to have that complete woods and nature atmosphere. But still only 30 min from the airport or 20 min from downtown.

Great cabin on the Chena River
This place is legit! We were in Fairbanks to visit family and needed a palce to stay. The cabin is in a great location. It’s far enough from Fairbanks to be out of the city but close enough that it doesn’t take long to drive there. The location is beautiful. The cabins are along the Chena River, and the friendly property owners told us we were welcome to hang out by the river and use the fire pits. The cabin has great Alaska charm with all the amenities. It has two floors with plenty of space for our family of four. The bathrooms are nice, and the kitchen is well-appointed for cooking meals. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a balcony that was nice for sitting on and viewing the river. Most important, the cabin was clean! This is the main way we judge VRBOs. There were plenty of towels and other items. The check-in process was also simple. We received a text telling us the cabin was ready and we were able to walk in and start our stay. If you’re looking for a place to stay close to Fairbanks with at Alaska charm that is clean and cozy, this is your place!
