Located in Two Rivers, about halfway between Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs this is the perfect location to get away from town and see the natural beauty of Alaska. Chena River State Rec Area is 7 miles down the road and includes 250,000 acres of wilderness with miles of hiking, cross country skiing and ATV/snow machine trails. Two Rivers has a large musher presence with multiple options for booking that once in a lifetime sled dog ride.
In front of the cabin you will find a 15 acre field perfect for 360 degree viewing of the Northern Lights in all their glory. The view from the front deck is amazing with the Alaska Range in the background on clear days.
After exploring the local area you will not be disappointed coming back to spend the night in a cozy log cabin that was just remodeled in Nov 2022. In the loft you will find a queen and a full bed as well as a couch located in the living room. The wall mounted TV can be positioned as needed for viewing throughout the main floor. Internet is included and is fast enough for streaming video. Come and enjoy the view while you cook with the grill on the front deck!

Loved this pretty cabin outside Fairbanks! Cozy inside, very hot water as much as you need & water pressure is good. Close to Chena Hot Springs, the airport & several dog sledding kennels for a fun day! Host is very communicative and straightforward. We would love to stay again!
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.
Charming cabin on beautiful acreage…so glad we found this place. Love the log cabin look.
Everything about this short stay was great; wish we’d had longer to enjoy it!
it was perfect and we loved our little cabin! it made for a great home base between different sites and it was the best to cuddle up in when it was snowing or raining!
We loved everything about this cabin! It's a scribed-log style that's beautiful and warm! Very nicely furnished. Good sized loft. Perched at the edge of a large field facing east, it's ideal for Aurora watching. About halfway between Fairbanks and Chena Hit Springs, it's a great location. Our dream vacation came true!
What a great place to get away. We went fishing in a pond near by and caught a couple grayling. The cabin had everything we needed. The host was real accommodating.
My wife and I wanted to go to a place that was remote with no light pollution. The stay was amazing and we were able to see the northern lights by just walking outside around 1 AM. House had everything we needed and was nice and quiet. Would recommend to anybody looking to travel to Alaska!
Loved everything about this cabin. Very peaceful with amazing view. Extremely clean. Plenty of room for our group of 5. The owner was so helpful and friendly. Quickly responded to any and all questions. We spent Christmas there and the inside was decorated for the holidays, which was so nice. Just all around great. Definitely recommend!
Amazing views! We got to see the northern lights our very first night. No light pollution which makes this cabin excellent for the views. Provides everything you could possibly need. We would stay here again if we ever make it back. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.
Strong built cabin with modern amenities. Big front porch where i worked a few hours on laptop over looking meadow middle of nowhere. No bears either. Great fire pit away from cabin with free fire wood and four chairs and no one watching near by. Would do it again!
Two rivers was a great place to get away from city noise. Well appointed kitchen. We appreciated the non Kuerig coffee maker! The grill worked great. Maybe next time we'll be brave enough to use the fire pit when it's -0 outside.

This property is amazing!
The location is absolutely stunning and perfectly situated for northern viewing!
(which we did observe, albeit briefly because of the clouds)
Everything is new, clean and comfortable, including the beds, which were extremely comfortable, warm and cozy.
A true log cabin experience with all the benefits of hot running water and a flushing loo!
Jim is a wonderful host who was very quick to respond to us when we needed to contact him with a couple of questions.
We hope we will get to stay here again in the not so distant future…

The cabin is very cute. It was a good spot to watch the northern lights from. The cabin was very clean. The property owner is very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The cabin came equipped with pots/pans, shampoo, body wash, paper towels, and toilet paper. There isn't any cable TV, but there is a smart TV from which you can access streaming services that you have a subscriptions
What a jewel in woods! About halfway between Fairbanks and the Chena Hot Springs, this location is wonderful. We watched an amazing Northern Light Show from the deck! We did not have time to build a fire but we will on our next trip! We have already made plans for our next trip. The cabin is fairly close to the owners house but you will never now it! It was dead quiet and a perfect getaway place! Don't tell too many people ;o)
