Description

Relax and unplug at this peaceful Alaskan glamping retreat. Stay in your own cozy log cabin tucked along Goldstream Creek beside a quiet pond—an excellent spot for wildlife viewing and Northern Lights sightings in winter. The cabin has hot and cold running water at the sink and, NEW this year, a private heated outhouse for comfort even in subzero temps. Showers and laundry are available 1.8 miles away at Goldstream General Store. Winter stays require 4x4 and proper winter tires. The space Bring your family, friends, pets, kids and enjoy this peaceful and original Alaskan log cabin away from it all positioned right on Goldstream Creek with its own pond with fish and migratory birds. This is a Dry Cabin with NO RUNNING WATER, NO SHOWER. There is an outside, partially exposed pit toilet giving you a true Alaskan experience. Inside, there's a sink with a faucet connected to a 5-gallon water container. This setup mirrors the reality for many in Alaska, where permafrost prevents well installation. Water must be manually hauled to the cabin, with a jug stored under the sink and a pump for dispensing. Winter bookings require 4x4 and winter tires. No refunds Guest access The cabin is situated on 2 acres of huge old spruce trees, with Goldstream Creek encompassing the property line, along with your very own little pond where migratory birds love to come and go. Other things to note Getting around You will need a car (or hire taxis and Lyfts) to fully enjoy the area. There is ample parking, so multiple cars are no problem. Fred Meyer (groceries, all shopping) and gas stations are only 10 minutes from the cabin, the downtown is 15 minutes away, and you are so close to ski trails and hiking Murphy and Ester Domes (right in the middle of both!). Fairbanks, Alaska, United States Welcome to your own little cabin in the woods. This is just off Sheep Creek Rd., and feels like you're away from it all, but yet you're only 15-20 minutes from the airport, 10-15 from major shopping, 5-10 minutes from the university and just 1.8 miles to the nearest showerhouse/laundry facility and awesome local restaurant/bar, Ivory Jack's. You do have a few closer neighbors who are all quiet and nice. Peaceful little Goldstream neighborhood. ** We do not accept any date alterations for any reason. We also do not process refunds. We recommend all guests to purchase travel insurance incase you are unable to make your reserved dates. In the winter there is snow and a 4WD is required in winter to make it to the cabin During winter storms in Alaska, the Internet can be intermittent and so can the power. These are all services beyond our control. No refunds. We do not offer refunds for any reason including weather. Thank you
