About this property
Private Aurora Log Cabin in Fairbanks Northern Lights Views
Relax and unplug at this peaceful Alaskan glamping retreat. Stay in your own cozy log cabin tucked along Goldstream Creek beside a quiet pond—an excellent spot for wildlife viewing and Northern Lights sightings in winter. The cabin has hot and cold running water at the sink and, NEW this year, a private heated outhouse for comfort even in subzero temps. Showers and laundry are available 1.8 miles away at Goldstream General Store. Winter stays require 4x4 and proper winter tires. Showers and laundry are available at Goldstream General Store, just 1.8 miles away (4-minute drive). Winter stays require 4x4 and proper winter tires.
The space Bring your family, friends, pets, kids and enjoy this peaceful and original Alaskan log cabin away from it all positioned right on Goldstream Creek with its own pond with fish and migratory birds.
This is a Dry Cabin with NO RUNNING WATER, NO SHOWER. There is an outside, partially exposed pit toilet giving you a true Alaskan experience. Inside, there's a sink with a faucet connected to a 5-gallon water container. This setup mirrors the reality for many in Alaska, where permafrost prevents well installation. Water must be manually hauled to the cabin, with a jug stored under the sink and a pump for dispensing. Guest access
The cabin is situated on 2 acres of huge old spruce trees, with Goldstream Creek encompassing the property line, along with your very own little pond where migratory birds love to come and go. Other things to note Getting around You will need a car (or hire taxis and Lyfts) to fully enjoy the area. There is ample parking, so multiple cars are no problem.
Fred Meyer (groceries, all shopping) and gas stations are only 10 minutes from the cabin, the downtown is 15 minutes away, and you are so close to ski trails and hiking Murphy and Ester Domes (right in the middle of both!).
Damage Protection: Insurance vs. Security Deposit We offer two options for protecting your stay:
Security Deposit – A refundable amount held during your stay and returned after checkout if no damage is found. Vacation Rental Insurance – A non-refundable, low-cost option that covers accidental damage up to a set limit.
Why We Recommend Insurance: ✔ Better Coverage – Protects against accidental damage beyond what a deposit covers. ✔ Less Upfront Cost – No need to tie up funds with a large deposit. ✔ Hassle-Free – No waiting for refunds or disputes after checkout.
For peace of mind and a smoother experience, we highly recommend choosing the vacation rental insurance option. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
