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.

Cozy "hunting cabin" vibes

Stayed here in October - It's 10 min drive from downtown Fairbanks but feels more secluded inside, nice view of the river, and feels very cozy and rustic. Would stay again.

Cute cozy spot!

My hiking club and I came up for denali park and the northern lights, and this cabin was a great home base. Plenty warm. Cute open inside and cute front/back yard where we could see the sunrise and frolick in the snow. Super close to the airport and town too!

Mardee's place was very comfortable. She provides a lot of extras in the kitchen. We were able to enjoy a batch of brownies! The home is very comfortable and we felt right at home.
