There were a few detractors from the cabins, but they were overwhelmed by the positives by far. You should note that the cabins' bathrooms are detached, but they are clean with good hot running water. The few trout in the lake are catch and release only, but there is an unlimited amount in Birch Lake, just 45 minutes down the road. Jim is more than willing to give you all the pointers or advice to bring them home. Also, the Wifi was down when I was there. However, that was because of a storm. Despite these setbacks, the cabins were an incredibly good place to stay. I saw beavers and sand bill cranes while staying there, the nature around was incredible, and Jim did everything possible to make my stay as good as it could be. When he learned I was interested in gold panning, he personally took me to two spots within 15 minutes of Fairbanks where I could pan for all the gold I wanted, and he gave me pointers on methods and techniques. You won't get that service at the local hotels.

I’m sorry you felt uncomfortable while showering. Once you are inside the shared guest shower house, you lock the door, and shut the blinds. Then it’s all yours. No one can come in, unless you unlock the door. I hope you got a chance to enjoy the rest of your stay. Thank you for taking the time to give us a review.

This place was exactly what we wanted! I encourage you to know what your booking. We wanted rustic and more of an Alaskan adventure rather than a upscale hotel. We came to Alaska to experience it as Alaska should be. I didn't want to walk out my door to a long hotel hallway. Instead I walked out of my cabin to a snow filled wonderland with wilderness and a pond. One where instead of needing a tour guide I could stand by the pond in front of the cabin and see the northern lights. Jim and Syd are amazing people with more hospitality than you can imagine. Jim made us a wonderful breakfast every morning from scratch not a frozen bag. The conversations were always exciting. They would both share their stories and experiences, tell us what not to miss and what the area held. When other guest joined us it was as fun to hear their stories. Way more interaction than at a typical hotel. Remember to read the description. These are dry cabins- no water, no toilet, no sink. Like I said earlier, know what your booking. However the shower house is less than a minute walk from each cabin and it is warm and clean plenty of hot water and toiletries. Not a big deal at all. I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and enjoy this! Listen to Jim and Syd and ask for their advice and use their expertise. Our last day Jim took us ice fishing on the pond which was amazing in itself, but then he invited us to the house as he cooked up the rainbow trout we had caught and made us lunch! Perfect

you both understand me well . Both Nikki and Susan are great to have around . Both Syd and i are not new to the hospitality business ,but trying to get every little detail the way we want it takes time. I would highly recommend these fine people that stayed with us. hopefully we will see the rest of your tribe !!

Very limited services and inconvenient. Each cabin has two twin beds. Internet access was broken. Shared restrooms and toilets were in a separate cabin.

I wish you would of let us know of services that were missing. That would of been helpful. Yes we are out of town but that makes for better viewing of the Northern Lights. Sorry you didn’t get one of our three queen cabins, but since you were a last minute booking the twin was all I had to offer. There is not enough room to add bathrooms in each cabin. That’s why we have a nice centrally located shower house for are guests. Very sorry you did not enjoy your stay.
