Gem of a property on the Chena River
Well appointed and very comfortable home on the Chena river. Just outside of the North Pole and a 20 minute drive the Fairbanks. This was a perfect jump-off point for all of our adventures. The Chena break-up was occurring, our kids got to fish a bit and we saw multiple Golden Eagles scouting the river. The property had a pair of binoculars on-site. The home had everything you could ever ask for and then had the things you didn't realize you might want! Firewood, fishing poles, outdoor grill, etc. Very nice opportunity to have a few family meals on vacation. Gorgeous property, don't think twice about staying here.

Great Aurora Views
The cabin is absolutely stunning, the heated floors were an unexpected treat. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything & everything you might need minus the food. The location of the cabin is remote enough that you have your privacy yet you’re only 20 minutes or so to town. We saw so much Alaskan wildlife as well as spectacular views of the aurora!

Peaceful Retreat in Alaska
Nicely maintained cabin in North Pole. The kitchen was well stocked, including a nice selection of local coffee! The cabin is very comfortable and quiet. We were lucky and saw a mother moose and her baby one morning. Highly recommend this rental. We will definately be back.

Wonderful secluded cabin
This cabin was everything we hoped it would be! I rented this place to meet up with my 80’something year old parents who had never seen the northern lights. It was so warm and welcoming and the perfect place to relax and spend time together. It’s close enough to Fairbanks that we ran into town every day for one of the many activities … but far enough out that the skies were dark and star-filled - perfect for Aurora viewing. The kitchen was fully stocked (pots, pans, mixers, etc) and had everything we needed, and even had some of the necessities in case you forgot to bring salt or pepper with you!! The bedrooms were all comfy and fresh. Lots of windows for animal AND Aurora viewing!! On that note, I’ll say that the location was perfect for Aurora watching. Lots of open space. We were able to catch the news and other shows on the local channels. The property contact, Bonita, was easy to reach and responded to questions very promptly. She was a delight! I would happily stay here again!
