We’d love to come back and stay here in the summer to experience Alaska in a different season! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah L. 31 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cabin lake view Warm and comfortable. Beautiful cabin with lake view. We had a long drive up from Talkeetna via Denali Hwy cabin was ready when we got there, we were able to settle in and prepare for our drive up Dalton Hwy to the arctic circle the next day. ##### Deborah L.

Far away from the city to have that complete woods and nature atmosphere. But still only 30 min from the airport or 20 min from downtown. ##### Alexander Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike E. 26 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Cabin in the Winter Wonderland Enjoyed this cozy cabin with my son! About 50 yards from the river and while there is a cabin next door, it's very private. Enjoyed the local ice carving, sled dog tour and ice fishing. Didn't see the northern lights this time but have to leave something for the next trip! Def recommend this place! ##### Mike E.

I rented this log cabin for myself and a family member to experience Fairbanks in the cold snowy winter. It was truly a perfect spot for us, we loved the warm cozy cabin, it had everything we needed to come home to after exploring Fairbanks. Comfortable beds and great heated floors. If there was anything we could find a minor fault with it would be the slow wifi, perhaps a booster is needed. Needless to say, I look forward to returning, on a lucky night you can view the northern lights from just outside. Highly recommend! ##### Linda V.

Host (Heather) is lovely and very responsive and accommodating. Cabin is comfortable & clean. Pretty much exactly what we expected. Will be coming back here again. You can see the Aurora from the cabin! ##### Syed Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Josh C. 19 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great cabin. Saw some northern lights. Great cabin with some great hosts. The cabin is outside of town a little, which makes it very peaceful. My wife and I visited to see some northern lights and did not get disappointed. It was really cold in January, but the cabin had in-floor heating and was cozy. The kitchen is small (no garbage disposal, or dishwasher) but had everything we needed. I hope to go back in the summer to see some wildlife. ##### Josh C.

The property was absolutely beautiful and our hosts made us feel more than welcome. I loved the heated floors, the decor, and the snacks/drink mixes set out for us. Heather was more than helpful offering the grill/chairs/and fire pit for our use. We enjoyed seeing Chena Hot Springs and Denali national park. Our last day there was a surprise of beautiful snow in May, and we got to see a moose walking in the snow along the river. Such a quiet and enjoyable time! ##### Kristen Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna D. 16 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Chasing the Lights My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Riverbend Cabins. We stayed in the Chinook Cabin, and it was warm, cozy and inviting. You have everything you need to cook a meal, and the view is just beautiful. Heather was kind enough to text us when the northern lights were out, and also when there was a moose in the yard! We would not hesitate to recommend staying in the Riverbend Cabins to others. ##### Donna D.
