If you’re on the lookout for a wonderful place to escape for a weekend, there’s a little dry cabin in Fairbanks that you need to check out.
It comes complete with a wood fired hot tub to soak in while you gaze out at the 100 acre property. On a clear, cold night, you can even gaze at the aurora borealis as it dances in the sky above you.
This wonderful cabin is just outside of Fairbanks and is a quick drive into town if you need it.
But the 100 acres surrounding the homesteaded property make it feel large and secluded. The interior is cozy, but it still boasts high ceilings and plenty of light.

This little rustic cabin sleeps two in the loft on a queen bed.
There’s no plumbing, except some basic water lines, and there’s an outhouse for your use off the deck. There is no electricity, the house is light by warm lanterns, so this wonderful adventure will be off-grid.
If you’re visiting in the winter, be sure to bring some flip flops.
The walk from the house to the oversized deck where the hot tub is can be quite cold, and the flip flops will help your travels. And the water is freshly changed out between guests, to avoid harmful chemicals being used, and to ensure a clean, fresh soak. There’s also snowshoes for you to use on the property if you want to hike around during the day.
Rates for this unbelievably cute cabin start at $131.00 per night on Airbnb.
Ratings are almost perfect, and the host has earned a 4.98 star average, which means you know you will be enjoying your stay here. There are only a couple days available for this winter left, so book as soon as you can!
If you truly want to get away from it all, this is the place to do it.
Block off a weekend and relax in solitude in the middle of the woods while soaking in your cedar hot tub. We’re pretty sure that life in Alaska doesn’t get much better than this!
