Welcome to Red Bear Den, your home away from home!

To totally immerse yourself in this property, copy & paste this link into your browser to visit our virtual tour: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=YmwcpSJD1Uf

Location is key with this property. We are located about 23 miles from the center of the Golden Heart of Alaska, also known as Fairbanks and 35 miles from Chena Hot Springs. If you want to see the Aurora Borealis, the back yard has a great clearing and you’re far enough away from the city lights that the opportunity is there. Close in proximity to rivers for fishing or kayaking, and great hiking trails, and not to mention, wildlife can be seen right from the back door. We are within walking distance of a local store with access to basic food, gas, and a post office in true Alaskan fashion. A pamphlet provided in the home during your stay identifies local restaurants and activities for all seasons. Whether it’s dog mushing or keeping warm in the hot springs in the winter or hiking in the summer, this home gives to the opportunity to experience it all!

Red Bear Den has a log cabin feel with cozy modern amenities. Decorated with pieces of local Alaskan artwork and furniture, this beautiful home will give you a taste of Alaska that you’re looking for, with the benefit of indoor plumbing. At 1300 square feet, this home will sleep 6 adults with 3 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. There are two bathrooms and a laundry room with access to a washer and dryer during your stay. The kitchen is equipped with refrigerator, double stove, dishwasher, Keurig, and basic cooking essentials that are provided. If you’re looking for a family friendly home, this is it! A Pack and play, high chair, and a stroller are available. Satellite Cable, DVD player, and High Speed Wireless Internet are also available for use and entertainment.

Great location for viewing the Aurora
Lovely rustic property in an area with no light pollution. We are from Florida and it was very cold when we were there, but even with the thermostat at the upper end of the instructed settings, we found the house to be drafty. There were instructions not to use the wood stove. We suspect that if the wood stove had been available we would have been toasty warm. Hosts were very responsive and gave us great information to alert us to the Aurora websites and how to interpret them. They were also responsive to issues with the microwave and television set. Really appreciated the large washer and dryer and the dishwasher. The driveway was plowed for us and there is a plug available for your car in the outdoor parking spot. The back porch was not shoveled for us and we really needed that and some space in the backyard to get good pictures of the Aurora. We called the hosts to ask about snow shovels and they do have two shovels - one near the garbage bins and one in the green tent - so we were able to shovel out an area to use. Lots of hot water. Full size refrigerator. Plenty of coffee pods for the Keurig and quite a few supplies provided. Would have liked a soup ladle and an electric can opener - manual can be a little tough for old hands., but overall adequate dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, and kitchenalia. Well located for visiting North Pole and Cheena Hot Springs.

Very nice home
Very nice home. Our reason for visiting Fairbanks was to see the northern lights and WOW did we ever…right out our front door! Two nights of our stay we saw the lights and they were beautiful…no need to leave home. The host was very accommodating and helpful with information about northern lights viewing and very excited for us when I told her we saw them from the house.

What a great property! Beautiful setting with complete and perfect privacy set in the hills outside of Fairbanks. The house had old charm outside but was fully modern inside. All the conveniences you want and need with well stocked supplies and food. Seriously you do not have to bring anything with you. We stopped at a store when first going there and did not need to at all. Only thing that would have been nice is to have the use of a barbeque.Thank to Monique who was a great and accommodating host and showed us great consideration and flexibility. PS: We were able to see the Northern Lights right out back of the house.

We had a relaxing yet busy time. The home is exactly as advertised. The hosts are fantastic communicators. We had a minor issue with internet that was addressed promptly. (And the fault of ATT, not the hosts.) The kitchen is well equipped. Thanks for the great spot!

This place was perfect for us. We did snow machines and dog sledding in North Pole, Aurora viewing at Charlie's dome at the Chena Hot springs. We also went to the Castner Ice cave. We would eat supper in Fairbanks so the cabin was centrally located for all our activities.

Great cabin
The accommodations were great. Everything we expected! It was warm during these cool summer nights. Although there was a lot of rainy weather during our stay, the entire cabin stayed dry. We were out seeing sights and hiking most of our stay, and a cozy cabin to eat, shower and rest made it a wonderful stay.
