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!

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 Kathy’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!!

Beautiful property, very spacious, and beautifully decorated. Very well stocked with everything a person may need. Kathy, the Best Hostess! We were 5 adults, house is 3 stories, lots of privacy. Lovely deck and the view of Daneli, was breath taking from back of house. Kathy brought us over delicious fresh baked muffins the first AM. We loved our stay, 1 wk, and we will definitely be back. Thanks Kathy❤️

We just LOVED this perfect cabin for our Aurora Boreales adventure!!
From booking to arrival to departure this was a magical place for a lovely home base for all of our Fairbanks adventures!! We all enjoyed every moment at the Moose in the Garden Cabin. We saw the Aurora right from our bedroom! Every room was comfy and the view from the living room ~ DENALI ~ completely mesmerizing! And the bonus of it all was the lovely connection with our host Kathy ~ we will definitely stay again! Thank you ~ and much ❤️ Jen, Glenny, Sean & Vanessa
