About this property

One bedroom has a queen size bed, the other two twins. There is also a carpeted attached garage that gives additional space and has a double bed. You actually enter the house through the garage so, except for the door that makes it handy to bring in luggage, you wouldn't know it's a garage.

It sits on a three and a half acre lot right next to the cabin with the addition that we have used for VRBO for the past two years. The original owner built what is now our home for them and this cabin for his folks in the 1950’s. We have lived here for 50 years and find it a special place.

Quaint home with lovely outlook

Thank you Martha for allowing us to stay upstairs with a lovely river outlook. Great kitchen and easy accessibility to Fairbanks. Only concern was smell of smoke and could have been a little cleaner.

Authentic little Alaskan Log Cabin

That cabin is a comfy clean authentic Alaskan cabin with heaps of character and charm. It’s located on the river and close to everything we needed including the Train Depot and Airport. The owners live next door but you would never know, they are very respectful of your privacy. They met us as we arrived and showed us around the place. It’s a great base for adventuring out, we got to see the Northern Lights and went to visit Santa at Santas House in North Pole. We also spent time just relaxing and looking at the river. There’s a fire pit with heaps of wood down by the river which unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to use but it’s a beautiful spot to sit and chill. We spent 4 night here in Fairbanks which was the midway point of our 5 week trip from Australia and was just what we needed. Thanks so much to Martha and Robert for their hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Martha and Robert Roth

We started doing VRBO in this house this spring. Have been doing it next door for two years and love it. We did bed and breakfast here many years ago but found it confining. Now that w e are older and can't do so many things it is perfect.

Bob was drafted out of a GP residency at Sacramento County Hospital in 1962 and sent to Bassett Hospital on Ft. Wainwright. We epaid our own way up because we didn't want to stay longer than 18 months. He soon extended so we could get base housing and continued to extend until they told him he had to get out of the army or transfer to another base.

At that point we rented a little house on 5 acres near our present house and moved everything in our riverboat. They would move is back to Oregon, our home of residency within a year. We never left.

The lady that owned our present house came by to collect money for a neighbor that did the snow plowing. Later they went to California so their daughter could get braces and asked if we'd like to rent their bigger house. We did. We
