The BEST location for spectacular, big sky views and aurora. Away from towns light pollution with one of the LARGEST aurora viewing spots in Two Rivers. This cozy, open concept, ranch cabin overlooks a field that spans over 100 acres of stunning scenery. Nothing stands in the way of the largest sky view for your aurora viewing.

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!
Well maintained roads.

**** 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.
$100 pet fee

Amazing winter getaway
We had a great stay in the Aurora cabin! We kept plenty warm with the Toyo stove, and had everything in the cabin for a cozy and comfortable stay. Cross country skiing right from the cabin door, beautiful stargazing, and amazing winter views. We opted for a sled dog experience while staying in the cabin and it was my favorite part of our trip. Definitely recommend. Would stay here again!!

Great location - even better if nature cooperates
This well equipped, comfortable cabin, is located about 30 minutes from Fairbanks so plan ahead for food and supplies. Locally there is a great bakery and a sandwich shop that we can enthusiastically vouch for. The cabin faces an open field with a clear view to the sky for the Northern Lights - if nature doesn't obscure everything with clouds and rain. We had full cloud cover the days we were there. I'm sure it's spectacular when the skies cooperate. The highlight of the stay, and perhaps our entire vacation, was when the owner brought the dogs and wheeled cart around and took us for a ride. While it wasn't a long ride, it was a lot of fun and the stories of the Iditerod and other races were very interesting. A great choice in the Fairbanks area and good luck with the skies.

Wonderful place to stay!
Cabin was great, quiet, comfortable with complete kitchen. Owners gave us a sled dog experience that alone was worth the money for our stay. Bright aurora appeared on our last night. They did notify us that the lights were out, but we were already outside enjoying the view, Cabin sits on edge of large open field to lights were brilliant! Highly recommend this cabin!

Wonderful Experience
Delightful cabin nestled just at the tree line with an expansive view of the Chena River valley. A great place with wonderful, accommodating hosts. Warm, inviting, and all the comforts you need. Visited mid-summer and had a great cart ride and met some amazing furry dog friends! I hope I can come back in the winter to fully enjoy what this cabin and location have to offer.

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!
