About this property

Authentic Alaskan Northern Lights Lodge in the Hills of Fairbanks

After a short 17 minute drive, you will be above the inversion layer and in the hills of Fairbanks! Located 5 minutes north of town, this cabin is in the PERFECT location. Escaping light pollution will insure you have the best chances to spot Northern Lights. It is also located less than an hour away from Chena Hot Springs, a natural hot spring with healing waters. During your stay you’ll be able to heat the house with the brand new BlazeKing wood stove or use conventional forced air heating through a smart EcoBee thermostat. The bedrooms are equipped with smart TVs and large king/queen beds perfect for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is stocked up with new appliances, spices, coffee, utensils and anything you may need to cook from home. Rest assured, the driveway is always clear of snow and well maintained making it accessible during all times of the year. Moose and other wildlife sightings aren’t uncommon in the backyard either so keep your eyes peeled! Please reach out if you have any questions about the property, I would love to answer them!!

Great stay and a great place to bring our dogs. Loved being able to let them run around on the property. Cabin was as advertised and in a great location just north of town with easy access to amenities. Jacob was very welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. Will for sure try to stay here in the future!

Jacob was extremely helpful providing recommendations for things to do, places to visit and sightseeing adventures! He truly wanted to make sure our first visit to Alaska was memorable and fun! What a great host to have! Cabin is as described, cozy, comfortable and close to down town Fairbanks. Thank you so much, Jacob! We truly enjoyed ourselves!

About the host

Hosted by Jacob Tuholski

Host profile image
I moved to Ketchikan Alaska 5 years ago to work for the Great Alaskan Lumberjack show. Now I spend my time charter fishing in the summertime and tug boating in the winter time. I also spend time volunteering at our local fire department and fishing or hunting when I can get away. My goal as a host is to give guests the best possible experience and to make sure your trip is unforgettable for years to come. It brings me so much joy when guests rave about how much fun they had at the cabin just as I’ve had over the years.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is quiet, spacious and in the perfect location to see the northern lights. As long as there is minimal cloud coverage you should be able to see the lights any night from November to April by just looking out the window of the living room.

What makes this property unique

My property is unique due to its close proximity to town while being far enough away to avoid light pollution and ice fog. The wood fire stove makes for an authentic Alaskan experience along with Alaskan decor found exclusively in Alaska. I ensure you that you won’t find a more Alaskan experience at this price point anywhere in Fairbanks!
