North Pole Cabin Retreat

Our North Pole Cabin Retreat is a great place to come for a day, a week, or a month or more. A person can experience life in Alaska in comfort. Our log cabin was built in 2002 and has had many guests over the years. We provide housing year round, and winter or summer the cabin is warm, dry, and safe. Running water is a must, as are clean comfortable beds. The cabin has two queen beds, kitchenette, full private bath, BBQ and picnic area outside. Parking is nearby. We are only 2 miles from grocery, dentist, medical, gas stations, gift shops, dining establishments, churches and bars. Although you are close to the comforts of everyday living, it will seem as if you are a long way out in the woods. We are located in a private, wooded property with a waterway flowing by. In summer there are many nesting ducks. There are many wild flowers growing all around, as well as hanging baskets of flowers we plant for your enjoyment.

Stayed here with my dad and brother for a quick weekend winter getaway and we had a great time! Cabin was clean and comfortable with modern amenities. It’s also located in a quiet area with a great view tucked in beside a river. Nancy was a great host who answered all our questions and provided us with recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Next time we’re in Fairbanks, we know where we’ll want to stay!

Our host, North Pole Nancy, was fantastic! We had such a great time at the property. There was plenty of wood for the fire pit, full propane grill, and also a charcoal grill. We hosted several people on a Saturday night and had a great time! We would love to stay here again.

Cabin in the Woods

Nancy is a most accommodating host and sent texts with information about the area and places we might enjoy going and things we might enjoy doing nearby. We found the cabin clean and adequate for our needs; there was a small kitchenette with a table and chairs, clean bathroom and a queen sized bed. Outside there are a couple of chairs, a grill and a firepit area.

Cozy Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin which was close to the activities in Fairbanks, but was in a very secluded and quiet location. Nancy was a great host and offered many recommendations during our stay, including the best nearby places to view the Northern Lights. As a result, we were treated to an amazing display of the aurora lights during our last night in North Pole! Thank you, Nancy.

It was ok, neat little cabin, seemed a little damp inside but clean. Maybe needs a little update. Definitely served a great style and peaceful surroundings. Didn’t know it was a duplex, people were noisy , glad they were there for only a few days. Other than that it was fine.

We enjoyed our entire experience. Cabin is fully furnished and very clean! If you don’t find the pamphlet in the cabin that helps you decide what there is to do in the area, Nancy has MANY suggestions. Nancy was very helpful & understanding with any questions I asked. This cabin is a true Alaska experience (but has running water & indoor toilet)!😃
