Parking was a bit wonky but other than that enjoyed our stay. Nice not sharing walls. The patio outside the cabin was nice for breakfast. Will stay again. The RV park looked very nice as well. The restaurant was speedy but the food and atmosphere were nice.

Nice welcome

We were able to check-in a bit early which was very convenient. Our bush plane flight came in at noon from Eagle and our flight to Seattle did not leave until 12:15am so we needed a room for just a few hours to shower and repack.

Great Stay

Great stay here. Reserved two cottages, and got two connected ones, which was great. Had AC, which was a nice feature in Fairbanks for a hot day like we had. Nice atmosphere of the property and really close to the Chena river. Good beds. Hot water. Plenty of space. Wife loved it. Would stay here again.

A truly great little gem. I had a cabin near the lodge and it was wonderful. I was in town for work so I didnt really get to spend all that much time there but I can tell you this, the time I did spend there was quiet, tranquil, and relaxing. I worked 19 hours the first day I was in town and I couldnt have found a better place to get home to afterwards.
