  • Wonderful family vacation

    5/5

    My family traveled from FL, TN, and Juneau to watch my daughter graduate from UAF. The home was everything we expected and more. The hosts were super helpful and responsive. The home is absolutely stunning and exactly what the pictures look like. The kitchen was fully stocked with coffee and other items that made our stay so comfortable. We saw two moose in the morning across the river between 5-6am, beaver, and many birds daily. I highly recommend this home.

  • Gem of a property on the Chena River

    5/5

    Well appointed and very comfortable home on the Chena river. Just outside of the North Pole and a 20 minute drive the Fairbanks. This was a perfect jump-off point for all of our adventures. The Chena break-up was occurring, our kids got to fish a bit and we saw multiple Golden Eagles scouting the river. The property had a pair of binoculars on-site. The home had everything you could ever ask for and then had the things you didn't realize you might want! Firewood, fishing poles, outdoor grill, etc. Very nice opportunity to have a few family meals on vacation. Gorgeous property, don't think twice about staying here.

    From the owner: "Robert, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully, all of your adventures up here in Alaska were as enjoyable. Chena's breakup hasn't occurred yet. While it usually opens in front of the house early, a breakup usually doesn't occur until late April and lasts only a few hours. It can be a spectacular sight when it happens. Thank you for taking such good care of our place and we would love to have you back in the future."

  • Great Aurora Views

    5/5

    The cabin is absolutely stunning, the heated floors were an unexpected treat. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything & everything you might need minus the food. The location of the cabin is remote enough that you have your privacy yet you’re only 20 minutes or so to town. We saw so much Alaskan wildlife as well as spectacular views of the aurora!

  • Peaceful Retreat in Alaska

    5/5

    Nicely maintained cabin in North Pole. The kitchen was well stocked, including a nice selection of local coffee! The cabin is very comfortable and quiet. We were lucky and saw a mother moose and her baby one morning. Highly recommend this rental. We will definately be back.
