"It’s one of my favorite places to go. We have stayed at this property several times Russell and Monique are really good people and wonderful host house feels like home very relaxing. There’s just a piece in a tranquility you get staying at this property. to me, it’s the perfect place to stay far enough away from town to get the quiet yet close enough to do all of the fun things you would wanna do. There’s a lot of trails to hike around there. It’s perfect."

"If you have the chance to stay here, don’t hesitate, book it!! What a perfect cozy, clean and comfortable cabin - thank you Jim and family. The solitude and pristine snowy views are beyond words, and the location is excellent. The cabin is just far enough away from the lights of Fairbanks but close to amazing trails to ski and snowshoe, and to the Chena hot springs."

"We had an awesome stay at this cabin, it is on a beautiful property and is centrally located between Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs.We also had a great view at the Northern Lights! Would definitely recommend staying at this property!"

"February 2025 stayed here with my parents and two kids. Comfortable space for 5. Beautiful location. Came in after a storm and the drive out was still reasonable driving conditions. I would recommend grocery shopping closer to Airport as there is a small local spot with minimal basics. The place is super cute and in sub 0 temps, still warm and cozy. Right out the door are miles of public trails that the kids and I were able to head out on. Well groomed so snow shoes were unnecessary. The property and surrounding land are absolutely gorgeous. Elke was super responsive leading up to the trip and no issues during our stay. The northern lights were visible at the cabin on two KP4 blocks of time. Stunning. We did do the dog sled experience and it was wonderful. Fascinating to hear about Silver Aces, their dogs, and the mushing experience. Best of luck in the upcoming weeks! The kitchen is small but well equipped for stove top cooking and a sheet pan for the oven. Lastly, Google Fi users and had service on the property and on the trails around the property. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!"

"Staff very friendly and encouraging jn trying new things like snowmobiling. Beautiful grounds in the winter, hot springs felt so good after playing in the cold. Room temps varied due to geothermal energy."

"We had an amazing time at this wonderful property. The cabin fit two adult couples very well and we had everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive throughout. Then beyond the beautiful space, we had the BEST time meeting the sled dogs and learning all about life in the area. We would absolutely stay again!"

"Great place for a family weekend up from Anchorage. Thank you Brenda!"

"Best feature was having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Everything was very clean and communication was clear."

"We had an issue with my vehicle and the owner was kind enough to let me work on the front yard. The owner even offered assistance. Thank you for the wonderful stay in your place. Thanks."
