About this property

North Pole Cabin Retreat

Our North Pole Cabin Retreat is a great place to come for a day, a week, or a month or more. A person can experience life in Alaska in comfort. Our log cabin was built in 2002 and has had many guests over the years. We provide housing year round, and winter or summer the cabin is warm, dry, and safe. Running water is a must, as are clean comfortable beds. The cabin has two queen beds, kitchenette, full private bath, BBQ and picnic area outside. Parking is nearby. We are only 2 miles from grocery, dentist, medical, gas stations, gift shops, dining establishments, churches and bars. Although you are close to the comforts of everyday living, it will seem as if you are a long way out in the woods. We are located in a private, wooded property with a waterway flowing by. In summer there are many nesting ducks. There are many wild flowers growing all around, as well as hanging baskets of flowers we plant for your enjoyment.

Cabin in the Woods
Nancy is a most accommodating host and sent texts with information about the area and places we might enjoy going and things we might enjoy doing nearby. We found the cabin clean and adequate for our needs; there was a small kitchenette with a table and chairs, clean bathroom and a queen sized bed. Outside there are a couple of chairs, a grill and a firepit area.

We had a great stay at this cabin. It kept us warm even though it was -40F. You will find everything you need in it. Our host Nancy was super helpful and gave us toe warmers and tips for things we could do. The area is very quiet but easy to access by car. We would definitely book this cabin again to experience the area in a different season.

Small and simple
Nancy is a very pro-active host and she gave many recommendations on activities todo. The place is small and cozy, a perfect winter getaway. The house was at good temperature even though outside was -40F. Nancy also provided an option to park close to the house and she would bring electric hookup to keep car warm. A must stay place to relax and enjoy the winter.

About the host

Hosted by North Pole Nancy Petersen

Host profile image
I was born in the Alaskan Territory and raised in this area, the daughter of early Alaskan Pioneers. My father is the first civilian to drive the Alaska Highway and he entered Fairbanks in November 1943 after a long trip up the Alcan as it was being built. He met my mother, who was here, working as a flight instructor. The two of them flew, together and separately here in Alaska. Flying became a lifetime venture, with my father, retiring in 1980 after an accident-free career in public air transportation in Alaska airspace. I, myself became a licensed pilot, but opted for a life on the ground, raising my sons and now a grandson. I enjoy earth bound things and am deeply rooted here in the 'frozen north'. As a child, I rode around with my father in a 1925 Model T Ford truck. Even now, it still runs, and I drive it for the enjoyment of the general public. Pictured here is me, and the old truck.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this place because it is such a 'retreat' and so 'Alaskan'. I love the log home look and feel, and I enjoy the wooded, private environment here. The water nearby is peaceful and such a great place for the ducks to nest and raise their young. It is a peaceful place to wake up each morning and to go to bed each night. You can hear the birds singing and the chatter of squirrels, and the sounds of nature are not drowned out by the sounds of the nearby highway.

What makes this property unique

Available year round with comfort, warmth, privacy, and convenience. Our North Pole Cabin is located in a peaceful setting, great for tourists, and also great for folks working or visiting in the area. We are 9 minutes from the Eielson Air Force Base and 20 minutes from the Ft Wainwright Army Base. We are 7 minutes from the Oil Refinery, and 20 minutes from downtown Fairbanks. If you are WORKING, TOURING, or VISITING FAMILY our North Pole Cabin is a great choice for many reasons, including having a memorable 'cabin experience' in ALASKA!!
