    Location is key with this property. We are located about 23 miles from the center of the Golden Heart of Alaska, also known as Fairbanks and 35 miles from Chena Hot Springs. If you want to see the Aurora Borealis, the back yard has a great clearing and you’re far enough away from the city lights that the opportunity is there. Close in proximity to rivers for fishing or kayaking, and great hiking trails, and not to mention, wildlife can be seen right from the back door. We are within walking distance of a local store with access to basic food, gas, and a post office in true Alaskan fashion. A pamphlet provided in the home during your stay identifies local restaurants and activities for all seasons. Whether it’s dog mushing or keeping warm in the hot springs in the winter or hiking in the summer, this home gives to the opportunity to experience it all!

    Red Bear Den has a log cabin feel with cozy modern amenities. Decorated with pieces of local Alaskan artwork and furniture, this beautiful home will give you a taste of Alaska that you’re looking for, with the benefit of indoor plumbing. At 1300 square feet, this home will sleep 6 adults with 3 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. There are two bathrooms and a laundry room with access to a washer and dryer during your stay. The kitchen is equipped with refrigerator, double stove, dishwasher, Keurig, and basic cooking essentials that are provided. If you’re looking for a family friendly home, this is it! A Pack and play, high chair, and a stroller are available. Satellite Cable, DVD player, and High Speed Wireless Internet are also available for use and entertainment.

Like home

It’s one of my favorite places to go. We have stayed at this property several times Russell and Monique are really good people and wonderful host house feels like home very relaxing. There’s just a piece in a tranquility you get staying at this property. to me, it’s the perfect place to stay far enough away from town to get the quiet yet close enough to do all of the fun things you would wanna do. There’s a lot of trails to hike around there. It’s perfect.

This place was perfect for us. We did snow machines and dog sledding in North Pole, Aurora viewing at Charlie's dome at the Chena Hot springs. We also went to the Castner Ice cave. We would eat supper in Fairbanks so the cabin was centrally located for all our activities.

Weather was not with us

The weather turned for the worse a few weeks prior to our stay. We hoped for the best and got snow several days but the Aurora showed us what we needed the last night there. So incredible we caught it. Great accommodations and the Pizza Bus did not disappoint. Pleasant Valley store had a nice mix of things you need as well. Thanks for the great stay Alaska!

Great cabin

The accommodations were great. Everything we expected! It was warm during these cool summer nights. Although there was a lot of rainy weather during our stay, the entire cabin stayed dry. We were out seeing sights and hiking most of our stay, and a cozy cabin to eat, shower and rest made it a wonderful stay.

Stay at little cabin in the woods close to hot springs!

We felt safe in this property. Calm quiet neighborhood. We had an amazing time with the family playing in the large yard. Everything looks just like the pictures on the listing; Beautifully decorated with the bear theme throughout the cabin. The kitchen was well equipped too. Great location with a short 30 minute to Chena hot springs. Definitely a 10/10.

My family (my parents, my wife, and I – four adults) stayed at the Red Bear Den for three nights from September 16 to 18. This was our first time using Vrbo, and the experience was excellent. The Bear Den was clean, tidy, and beautifully decorated — it truly felt like home.The location is perfect, right between downtown Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs. We also found it to be a much better value than the nearby igloos, which were far more expensive.On our very first night, we saw the northern lights for the first time in our lives! They lasted for about three hours, and it was an unforgettable experience. What made it even more special was that we could watch them right from the Bear Den’s backyard — no need to drive half an hour away to escape city lights. It felt private, comfortable, and magical.We also made a trip to Chena Hot Springs to enjoy the hot springs and visit the Aurora Ice Museum, which was only a 30-minute drive from the cabin. Back at the Bear Den, we had great fun playing the scavenger hunt.The host couple was very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely choose the Bear Den again if we return to Fairbanks in the future.
