This cabin is perfectly situated between Chena Hot Springs and Town for all of your Fairbanks activities. The hotsprings has day passes and tours available for purchase. As well as a wonderful restaurant/bar.
Relax at this cabin for the sweetest spot in town!

**** This cabin is an Alaskan escape. A place to be away, to enjoy the outdoors and to immerse yourself in a world revolved around the true peace of wild spruce trees and quiet life. There is no provided Wi-Fi (cell data works great for most providers and I use my hotspot for my laptop). My service provider is Verizon and it works wonderfully.

5 acre property. There is an entirely separate small cabin on the parcel that is a long term rental. This is a shared private parking lot with our long term tennant.
5th bed is a luxurious queen pull out from the leather couch.

Could not have asked for a better cabin, host, or area!
The location offers beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and we were lucky enough to see Aurora Borealis the first night, right above the cabin!! The cabin was perfect for a family of five (three 18+ kids). We stopped at Costco on the way in for premade dinners, and were happy the entire week with our set up. Emilia gave us dog sled tours, and was a highlight of our vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Elke Konetski

Host profile image
Elke has raised her sled dogs from the minute they were born. They are family, Alaska with sled dogs isn't work, its a lifestyle. Before starting this business and passion project, she worked for 3 separate tour companies to now bring together a full understanding of the best way to share this life. What makes for a uniquely exceptional experience that brings gusts more on what this life with sled dogs truly can be. Her passion, work and life is revolved around her dogs. Elke believes in TOP care for her dogs in every aspect. They get the best food, care, love and play possible. When Elke isn't sharing this life with others, she is free playing with her dogs on the 40 acres they call home or out exploring Alaska with them on multiday camp trips. All of her dogs have the best life there is for a dog.... and human too! Free play, free walks, team runs and group snuggle time is a daily routine. Silver Ace Sled Dogs is the best way to enjoy a genuine trip with sled dogs and the true beauty of Alaska.
