Caribou Cottage in North Pole, Alaska

This rustic log cabin is situated in the woods on the outskirts of North Pole, Alaska. It is easily accessible in the winter months or in the summer. Guests don’t need to worry about the cold temperatures with a year-round heating system. The cabin is cozy even in the coldest of winter temperatures. The cabin has running water, full kitchen and full bathroom (shower and tub) inside the cabin. Caribou cottage feels like a home away from home.

The kitchen has is full of necessities and niceties to make a trip more comfortable. The dining area has a table large enough to comfortably sit four adults. A highchair is available upon request. I do not keep it in the cabin, so please let me know if you need it prior to your arrival.

The living room has plenty of space to relax while you enjoy each other’s company or watch something on TV. Guests can easily log into their Netflix, Amazon, YouTube accounts, etc. with the available Wi-Fi. The futon collapses into a full size (or double) bed with all the necessary linens in the cabin if needed.

The cabin has a full bathroom with bathtub/shower. There is a washing machine and dryer located inside the cabin for use.

Upstairs in the loft, is the bedroom with a queen bed and an open closet and dresser. A pack ‘n play is available upon request. I do not keep it in the cabin, so please let me know if you need it prior to your arrival.

Up to two pets are welcome, but I do ask that you contact me prior to booking just so I am aware before your arrival. We do ask guests to only bring pets that are potty trained, that they clean up after their pets, and that are not left unattended.

The cabin is off a cut-de-sac at the end of a gravel road so there is not a lot of traffic noise. We have a large storage garage/shop next door to the cabin. My husband is a retired contractor and still has some equipment parked across from the cabin, but none of it should be run during your stay.

On the day of check-in (usually around 2 PM), I will send a check in information, including the deadbolt code. Guests will then be able to check in at your convenience. If there are any issues, I will have added the phone number that is listed through the account to my favorites list and it will ring through to me day or night. I am also just a few minutes away, so if something needs my immediate attention, I can be there in just a few minute.

This property features exterior safety cameras facing towards the parking area and driveway.

Parking is in front of the porch.

Pleasant Surprise
My first impression was not the best because the location was not what I expected. However, as soon as we entered the cabin, my misgivings evaporated. It was spacious and lovely. The full size kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the room had plenty of space to unpack and hang our clothes. The washer and dryer were a huge plus! Overall, I would definitely book this cabin again.

Lovely secluded cabin
This cabin was exactly as described and met all expectations. It was in a secluded area where you would think you were miles away from everywhere, yet right close to town. It was clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable, the linens were good quality, the kitchen was fully stocked, and there was plenty of space for everything. The TV was connected to cable and the wifi worked perfectly. This made our first time visit to Alaska wonderful. As stated in the description, the only bathroom is on the main floor and the bedroom is upstairs so if you have trouble with stairs or like having a bathroom close to your bed, you could make the futon out into a bed and sleep downstairs as there was linens, pillows and blankets to convert it into a bed.

Northern Lights!!!!!
I really enjoyed the stay at Jamie’s cabin. It was clean, smelled great and had everything we needed plus some. Everything was thought of. I especially loved the St. Nickerdoodle coffee. It was awesome. The best part… we saw the Northern Lights from the cabin on our first night there. I HIGHLY recommend!

Adorable cabin!
My husband and I needed a place to stay for a few days with our little pups in tow. This cabin was super convenient to the town of North Pole and had all the amenities we needed to be comfortable. This host has a few places to stay at, and we’ve enjoyed each one over the last couple of visits!
