The place was great very peaceful beautiful loved that you would see airplanes on the water taking off or landing. The rooms are very clean. The kitchen had everything that we needed and more including the washer dryer area. The check-in was easy and the directions were perfect very happy to stay at that cabin.

The property worked for what we needed. Had great communications with the host. The kitchen was supplied well. Location was within 15 minutes of every place we attended while in Fairbanks. Was also nice to be able to watch the small planes takeoff and land on the marina. Nice neighborhood for late night walks.

Beautiful property. Very thoughtful host. Has all you need and more. No hair dryer. In the Harry Potter Cabin the shower is odd, not tall enough for most. They do have a public shower in the lodge though, we did not use it. Did not see any animals anywhere around the cabin. Was happy and sad about that. LOL. The cabin was stocked with what you would need as far as dishes, pans, etc. Extra towels would have been nice. All in all a peaceful place to stay, affordable, little on the small size for four people, only two chairs in the living room area, but we were not there much.

This sweet cabin was exactly as described and as shown in the photos. We used it for two nights as a gathering place for our family after a college graduation. The downstairs was comfortable for all 8 of us to sit around the dining room table and be together.The kitchen is more than well-stocked with condiments, spices, quality cookware, and an easy to use espresso machine. Everything we needed to make a few meals.There is a cozy upstairs loft area with the king bed and tub/shower (with fancy bath accessories), plus a papasan chair.The house was evenly heated and comfortable, the showers were great and plenty of fresh-smelling towels were available.We would definitely come back, if we had a reason to be in Fairbanks. We enjoyed the few planes taking off, but the water was still frozen on the lake when we were there. Wish we had planned to stay longer. Great, responsive host!
