This stunning, architect-designed 3-story home offers an unforgettable Fairbanks experience, blending original 1979 Scandinavian contemporary style with modern comforts. Built with the Northern Lights in mind, the house features incredible panoramic windows – including a signature large circular window – perfect for watching the aurora dance across the night sky from the warmth and comfort of the living room. Immerse yourself in the unique architecture, relax while spinning some vinyl on the record player, or mix a drink at the dedicated bar area. The fully equipped kitchen makes meals a breeze, and the cozy office nook provides space if you need to connect. Step outside onto the expansive wrap-around deck to breathe in the fresh Alaskan air, enjoy the sweeping wilderness views, or gather around the fire pit table under the stars (or the midnight sun!). After a day of exploring or a night of aurora gazing, unwind in the private, authentic Finnish sauna – a true Nordic treat. While feeling wonderfully secluded, you're also conveniently located near unique Fairbanks attractions. Experience the magic of walking with reindeer through the boreal forest at the nearby Running Reindeer Ranch, or hit the slopes during winter at Moose Mountain Ski and Snowboard Resort, just a short drive away. The main house features 2 comfortable bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms spread across its three levels. Need more space? The property includes a charming, detached heated bunkhouse – a studio setup with two sturdy bunk beds (queen below, twin XL above), perfect for extra family members or friends. !! PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: !! Bunkhouse Bathroom Access: The detached bunkhouse does NOT have its own bathroom. Guests staying in the bunkhouse will need to go outside and walk a short distance to the main house to use a shared bathroom located on the second floor of the main house. This includes nighttime use, which might involve a chilly dash in winter! Multi-Level Home & Stairs: The main house is a 3-story building. Accessing bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas requires navigating multiple staircases. This may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations or families with very young children who are not yet proficient with stairs. Winter Access (Oct-Apr) - 4WD/AWD MANDATORY: Our secluded location offers incredible privacy and views but requires preparedness in winter. The access road is maintained but can be snowy and/or icy. For your safety and to ensure you can reach the property, a vehicle with 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is absolutely MANDATORY during these months. No exceptions can be made, as tow services can be limited and expensive. This retreat is perfect for adventurers, aurora chasers, and anyone seeking a peaceful, inspiring getaway surrounded by Alaskan beauty, with unique local experiences close by. We look forward to hosting you! Please leave the outdoor shoes at the entrance to protect our hardwood flooring. The house is on a septic tank. Please put food waste into a trash bag/ bin whenever possible/convenient instead of dumping it into the sink. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your stay at our house! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/81000000/80080000/80071500/80071402/b3aa00fe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Log Cabin in Goldstream Valley of Fairbanks Fairbanks - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 85 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=80071402&PinnedHotelID=80071402&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27130600/27130539/w934h657x0y0-3bcb1353.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Comfortable House With Kitchen On The Chena River.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jim c. Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We enjoyed our stay! A lot to like with some limitations that need to be noted. The "vibe" is definitely mid-century modern - carried out in furniture to pictures on the wall. The view to the south west is spectacular inside through the windows and outside on the large deck. The house was clean, all the beds were comfortable Towels and bedding were new and modern. All the appliances are new, cooking utensils, etc. are adequate. Now the limitations . . . In order to accentuate the views the house is tri-level. The kitchen/deck level has a small dining area. The third level is the largest room with a larger somewhat wonky eating area, large seating area and a television above the fireplace. A nice comfortable room. However to access this 3rd floor room you have to go up 2 flights of steep, slippery narrow stairs - not safe for young children. Also, the bunkhouse was spacious clean, with comfortable bedding. That said it was a very good stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/288f6000-03d0-4cd1-988c-6e7f802cad7b-1756784548077.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49b9d8a9-6869-41be-b5ea-66a0f32b7767-1756784559263.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### jim c.
