Waterfront Log Cabin on Airstrip with Aurora Views

It doesn't get anymore "Alaskan" than this! A rustic log cabin on a bushplane runway & lake. Watch airplanes take off and land right from the living room window! You'll get the full Alaskan experience, yet only minutes from town and all the local attractions.

Rustic charm loaded with amenities: Wi-Fi, 55" Roku HDTV, granite countertops, high-end cookware, bath products and bedding. The cabin is furnished with handcrafted log furniture made by our family, with natural finishes throughout. A deck facing the water, fire pit, barbecue, snowshoes and sleds are available for your use during the winter. In summer we keep some bikes, infant life vest & fishing poles stocked in the shed for guest use. Upstairs loft-style bedroom is spacious and open to the rest of the cabin with an attached bath. The entire space is bright, open and airy, with views of the lake and Chena Hills beckoning you outside.

Amazing aurora views right from the back deck. Come stay with us, you'll love it!
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi.
