Secluded, outside of Fairbanks near Moose Mountain Ski Resort. Near aurora borealis viewing sights. Comfortable accommodations. Property manager was friendly and provided good area tips. Great experience!

Great cabin with views of distant snow covered mountains. Perfect for the four of us with plenty of room for more. The home is very well supplied. Colleen was very helpful with any questions we had about the area and trying to help see the Auroras. Thanks Colleen for the perfect stay in Fairbanks.

We loved our stay here. It was so nice to come back each afternoon and relax with the warmth from the wood stove. The view is spectacular! There was plenty of room for the four of us. We had everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds are comfortable. The flannel sheets were perfect for this time of year. I would recommend this home. Thank you, Colleen.

The chalet is high up overlooking Fairbanks. Very pretty. We had a mother moose and calf visit us frequently. We found the Chalet to be far enough out of town but yet convenient to everything we wanted to do. I would suggest The Pump House Restaurant for a good place to eat. Colleen is on the property but you would never know she is there.

We had an amazing time at Colleen’s cabin. She was available for questions and very accommodating. The location is not far from town and offers a beautiful view of the mountains from the deck. We were comfortable and had everything we needed at the cabin for cooking up meals. We would definitely recommend and had an amazing time here. Thank you Colleen!

Our stay at the cabin was absolutely wonderful. Clean space with everything we needed, plus helpful notes. Colleen was very communicative and we never had any issues. Would definitely stay here again in a future visit!

This lovely, comfortable cabin is in a beautiful setting. Close enough to Fairbanks for all of your needs, but removed enough to feel like a getaway. If you want a quieter retreat this is a great option.

Great place to stay. Owner is so nice and responsive. Would recommend to everyone.

Based on reviews, we had very high expectations and they were met. We determine our ratings primarily based on three aspects: service from the host, cleanliness of the house, and does everything work that says in the listing will work. Colleen is super to work with ... very responsive. The house was everything shown and listed, but you can't get the true feel of it until you stay there. We especially appreciate it when we have 0, none, notta, zip, zilch issues with the Internet. Internet worked 24X7 as we searched for what was happening w/ the northern lights.

Colleen's cabin overlooking the scenic mountains in Fairbanks was absolutely stunning! We even saw the aurora a couple of times right from the back porch! If you're wanting a warm and friendly place to stay, this place is a must!

So much room and so much to do. I definitely recommend a 4x4 no matter what time of year.

Colleen communicated clearly and provided an abundance of helpful information for her guests. The house was inviting and clean. There were numerous amenities available to us, and it's clear she also put a lot of thought into creating spaces that would delight families with children. The view from the deck was absolutely breathtaking and we miss it already!

It's a hike up the mountain but you'll have great views below. Wasn't comfortable traveling back down at night to Murphy Dome to possible see Northern Lights and didn't see any from porch, but we only had one clear night. Kitchen is well stocked, great to have a washer/dryer after getting off a 7-day cruise. Very comfortable. Colleen offers hints of things to see in Fairbanks.

We arrived in Fairbanks at 1:00 am. By the time we got our luggage, rental at and drove out it was 2:00. Almost 24 light was great and we got into the house quickly. Got up in morning and had coffee of deck with great view of Fairbanks. Used the deck for coffee most mornings and got to see Mt. Hesse one morning. Great way to be near town and also have nature around us.

Very nice home, remote but close to town. The house was very rustic feeling, had a great deck and view. Homeowner/host was extremely nice and had some great tips for things to do. Comfortable for 4 people and could accommodate many more. Would definitely reccommend this to anyone staying in Fairbanks. Only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

We had a wonderful stay at Colleen’s property. It is in a beautiful location on a hill with an amazing view and was plenty large and comfortable for our crowd. She was amazing helping us see the auroras. The cabin is out of town, but not too far to get wherever we wanted to go. We were always comfortable, and stayed at the cabin in the evenings and cooked dinner. We would certainly stay here again!

Colleen is amazing! Great tips on chasing the auroras and will literally answer texts in the middle of the night. Property is gorgeous. Viewing window was the prettiest I saw in town. Even has a massage chair in the master.
She does stay on property in an apartment with her own entrance. We never ran into her but knew she was there. Great for us since we are quiet and love the extra attention. May not be right for everyone.

This property met all our expectations. It was roomy, inviting, and had a wonderful view.
Colleen, our host, was extremely friendly and helpful; she was always available and always pleasant. Thanks to Colleen's guidance, we also managed to see the Aurora Borealis; a sighting that was definitely a highlight of our trip.
We wholeheartedly recommend this property and will definitely return ourselves for another Alaskan vacation.

The property was clean and comfortable. The owner provided a helpful list of local amenities which was very useful.The kitchen was nicely stocked with flatwear, plates, cooking pots and pans. There was a list of specifics regarding the property care, the walks and parking area were clear of snow and ice. The property was also very private and a perfect location to see the Northern Lights!

We arrived to a fire blazing in the wood stove & lovely blue grass music playing in the background. How wonderful since it was 30 below outside. The beds were comfortable with extra winter quilts. There all types of special touches that make the cabin feel like a well cared for home. Colleen is super helpful and easy to communicate with by text. She gave us extra guidance about the aurora borealis. The property is well maintained & easy access even in snow.

We were visiting Fairbanks for my mother’s 95th birthday because she had lived there 60 years ago. There was a first floor master bedroom which was perfect a, as well as two large bedrooms upstairs. The view was spectacular. While it is quite a bit out of town, the roads are good and it was not a big deal to get into Fairbanks. We are excited to return and stay at the same place
