I'd stay here again but be careful

the house was rustic and beautiful with ample space however the listing said it's on the waterfront which doesn't feel true even if it's on the property. There is no convenient way that we found to access the river or the nearby lake, the tub and showers were slippery and dangerous, the stairs are very shallow and it's not the place to go if you actually want to experience being on a river or having access to a lake.

We had a great stay in the cabin, so much room for everyone! It was a great space for a big family, everyone fit at the table. Whole space was very clean! We got to see Aurora right from the cabin! Fantastic views all around.

Best way yet to see AK

Amazing log cabin. We could just lounge around for hours and stare at the amazing timbers that creat a cozy place to relax in Fairbanks. It was -25 and the kids were in and out all day with great places to hang and heat up the snow gear, toasty fireplace, great bar area for the grown ups, and beds that put you right to sleep.This will definitely be an annual trip for years to come.

Nice Place to Stay for Our Large Family Group

Our large group enjoyed the quirkiness, cleanliness, and isolated location of the mansion. It have everything we needed for a great stay. The kids loved the seemingly endless nooks, crannies, and passages in the house. It was pleasantly better than what we expected from the website.

The house was gorgeous, so cozy and comfortable for our large group. We had everything we needed, great bedding, towels, toilet paper, lovely shared spaces, and love the extra bath house outside with additional showers and toilets. The host was very responsive and made sure we were taken care of. Definitely recommend staying there!

Great for Family

This is a very unique log home that has so much character. It's a great mix of 70's log home with modern touches. There were 9 of us and we had plenty room for all and having the outside hot tubs and sauna was nice treat even though it was 82 degrees a couple days. I wish the house had AC but I understand why it doesn't because you would rarely need it. I would love to stay there again in the winter.

Best Vrbo we have ever stayed

I have been to my share of rental accommodations. This is awesome in terms of the spaciousness, decor, cleanliness and the way house is structured. We were 10 people enjoyed staying here. The house was so big that we played hide and seek and felt nostalgic about our childhood days. This is closer to airport and has friendly hosts. It has bath tubs and attached bath houses too.

Unique Alaskan Cabin

The cabin is incredible, with beautiful wood and taxidermy throughout, and attention to detail everywhere in this historic home. The house is huge with plenty of beds as well as multiple common areas. The grounds are beautiful as well, though the lake and river and surrounding areas are very industrial, not quite what we imagined from the description. Also note that there are eight rental units (this one is by far the biggest), so there might be a lot of other people sharing the grounds and two hot tubs. The owners were lovely and gave us lots of ideas of what to do, and a window into Fairbanks culture. Overall, we would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking visit the area.

Will return!

This property is beautiful and spacious! We rented the main lodge plus both apartments due to the size of our party. It very nice having all ~6000 square feet to ourselves! The property owner and property manager were both very easy to communicate with and seemed eager to meet our needs. We anticipate gladly renting their properties again sometime in the future. Thanks, Devin & Jackie!
