Log Home with view of Denali and aurora with fireplace and toasty heated floors

Whether traveling to Fairbanks under the summer's midnight sun or winter's aurora borealis - you will find this lovely setting an amazing base for your interior Alaskan vacation.
This beautiful 3,000 sqft natural log home was built almost entirely from the white spruce trees that grew on the property. The original owner cut, hand peeled, and allowed the logs to dry. He then contracted a premier log home builder to hand scribe each log to fit into place in 1990. The log detail is a thing of beauty. It has that rustic, homey feeling that only log homes can give. It is well appointed with Alaskan art and artifacts.
This premium log home offers views of the Alaska Range and Denali from the inside loft or while relaxing on the grand outdoor deck while grilling your favorite Alaskan seafood. During dark, clear nights enjoy stargazing and the excitement of the aurora borealis unobstructed by city lights from either inside or outside this authentic Alaskan home.
The large, open upstairs loft bedroom can sleep four. There is a queen-size bed and also a pair of twin beds. Please note the set of twin beds are accessed over a low log wall using three stairs on each side of the log wall. This offers some privacy from each of these adjoining sleeping spaces in the loft. This is a popular place to sleep and brings out the child in all my guests.
The two downstairs bedrooms in the walk out basement, each have queen-size beds. These downstairs rooms offer even more privacy as they are separated by a hallway that leads to an outside door leading to the beautiful lawn and lower patio. All the bedrooms have lovely views and are accessed via stairwells. There are blackout blinds in the sleeping areas. There is a bathroom conveniently located on all three levels. The laundry and shower are located on the ground floor bathroom. There is a half bath on the main floor for your convenience. The loft has a full bath with a jacuzzi tub/handheld shower in the upstairs loft bedroom. This bath area is open to the loft area and has a curtain for privacy.
There is a spacious eat-in kitchen and also a huge formal dining area that seats your group comfortably. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, many spices, and other basic essentials. Dutch oven, waffle iron, griddle, crock pot, mixer, blender, ice bucket, coffee makers(drip and Keurig), coffee presses, pressure cooker, InstaPot, seafood pot, and bakeware all lend you a hand while preparing those delicious meals. The stove is gas with four burners and a center griddle.
The sitting area near the gas fireplace is the most popular place to read, while the downstairs family room has a 60" curved "Smart" television available for your viewing pleasure. You can view your streaming accounts on the TV or stream on your personal devices in your room. Fastest WiFi available. There are also books and DVDs in the family room and games and puzzles available.
The keyless entry makes access convenient and there is no worry over lost keys or late arrival times.
Off street parking is plentiful and has headbolts for winter guests to plug in their vehicles when the weather drops to subzero temperatures. The drive is maintained and snow cleared. Front wheel drive or all wheel vehicles are fine. Some people prefer 4WD in the winter.
I believe the peace and tranquility that guests enjoy while staying at this vacation rental comes from the "groundedness" of the home being built from truly local logs. It can't get more organic than that!

Fairbanks Fun
This log home was gorgeous and wonderfully decorated. It is spacious and homey at the same time. The kitchen has all the appliances you could want. There were so many cozy places you could curl up on your own or hang out as a group. Kathy was a great host and because we came in on a day with very high winds and rain she had the place set up in case of a power outage. We appreciated her attention to detail.

Tranquility in the woods
The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out on the back deck looking out at the Alaska range in the distance. It was very relaxing. The house was also very comfortable with multiple comfortable seating areas and a well stocked kitchen. The perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the area.

Beautiful home
First, this was an amazing property. You are about 20 minutes from downtown Fairbanks, close enough to get in and out, but the benefit of being secluded with beautiful views. Highly recommend. The only reason we gave it 4 stars is due to a strange situation with the property owner. She is very nice and accommodating, but the first night we arrived she sent me a message on VRBO asking if we want her to come over and show us the ropes. I responded no thanks, we're good and will let her know if we need anything. Then the next morning we were getting ready and there was a loud banging on the front door. My kids were very startled and a bit afraid, as we told them we are in an isolated spot and nobody would be coming to the house. I opened the door and it was the property owner who said she came over to get her toolbox. Considering that we had always communicated promptly on VRBO, we felt it was improper for her to just show up without at least letting us know before hand and scheduling a mutually convenient time.

Beautiful cozy in great location to Fairbanks
We had a different home booked but it got canceled so we were happy to find Kathyā€™s place. Only reason we had not booked it already was it has 2 1/2 baths and we were hoping for 3 since we had 3 couples. 3 baths are hard to find so we made it work. Kathy was very easy to work with and we found her place exceptional. This was a bucket list trip and we hoped to see Northern lights and we were not disappointed. We got to see them 2 nights. The 2nd time we knew they were coming we drove up to Cleary Summit and we did see a little but it was cold and a lot of people there so we decided to go back to the house. When we got home they were bright right in front of the house. We saw them better right there. House was very well appointed. Everything you need in the kitchen. Nice large table for playing games and large groups. Kathy had pretty much thought of every thing. If there was one suggestion, beds could use a mattress topper. The other 2 couple said there beds were good but my husband and I found our bed to be too hard. But we would stay again for sure!!

So much room to spread out!
This log home was so much more than what I had anticipated! There are so many comfortable sitting areas that guests can use throughout the house. Our two teenage boys slept in the loft twin beds while we took the queen in the loft, and the two grandparents had the whole basement. Everything was very well stocked, and it felt so homey. The back deck overlooked the mountains, and the yard was perfect for our boys to play catch. We loved that it was a private setting outside of town, yet close enough to make a quick run in if you needed something. It was also a nice location for an evening walk. Everything was clean and well cared for. Donā€™t hesitate to book here. Youā€™ll settle right in and feel at home.

Great location and house
I recently had a last minute business trip with a coworker from another state and decided to go a day early and take my kids to Fairbanks for solstice. Kathy was very responsive and check in was seamless. The house was bigger than we expected with room for everyone, including a separate living room downstairs. My kids loved sleeping in the loft. The kitchen was well stocked. Itā€™s enough out of town to be peaceful but close enough to drive in for dinner. My only regret is that we only stayed one night! I would definitely stay there again for a longer trip.

Kathy provided a wealth of information and made our first visit to Fairbanks extremely easy. The house was wonderful with plenty of gathering space for the 5 of us, and plenty of space for each of us to relax on our own. We cook most of our own food on vacation due to food allergies and preferences and this was the best equipped kitchen weā€™ve ever had. The Northern Lights danced through our bedroom window and were clearly visible from outside the property. We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent from Kathy again.

Alaska at it's Best!
"Let's go on a winter snow vacation and see the Northern Lights!", my 14 yr old son asked. Ummm, ok, I thought to myself. After much research I found that Fairbanks was the place to be. After more research I found that Kathy's log cabin was the place for us. Boy was I right on both accounts. Fairbanks is a fabulous, friendly city and the Moose cottage was a perfect retreat. We arrived on a snowy Friday and after a much easier drive than I anticipated we arrived. As soon as you open the door you realize what a magical cabin you get to enjoy. My kids could not contain their excitement as they went from room to room. As my wife, sister in law, and I followed we felt it as well. The cabin is amazing. The high ceiling, the beautiful wood all around, the amazing deck. It had the exact vibe we were looking for. We knew we were in for an amazing week. We spent every night looking for the lights and after a few nights.......they arrived, for over two hours we got to enjoy them dancing over our heads. A vision we will never forget. Between the lights, playing with reindeer in the woods, Ice Alaska 2022, and a visit to the Arctic circle we all agreed.... We will, no, we need to come back to this beautiful state, city, and cabin. Thank You Kathy for opening the doors to your wonderful rental. From the well-stocked everything you need kitchen to the cozy furniture around the wood stove to the heated floors!!!! Kathy has thought of everything. She even had sleds and snowshoes that we used and enjoyed. The cherry on top ...The sauna. The Tufts will certainly be back. Until next time..........
