About this property

Cozy Cabin w/gas fireplace . Great location in town. On city bus line.

This warm and cozy log home features Alaskan art work, detailed hemp rope work, and a gas fireplace to enhance the ambience. It is within walking distance to the International Ice Carving Championships, Creamer's Field (a popular aurora viewing spot and migratory wildlife refuge and trail system), and the Tanana Valley Fairgrounds. It is also a short block to the bus stop, a mile from the railroad, and 6 miles to the airport.
Two huge picture windows face north, and lucky winter guests may watch the aurora from the comfort of the living room. This log home is located in a quiet neighborhood. It has two bedrooms with queen-size beds. The kitchen is well-stocked with baking and cooking utensils and has plenty of counter space to prepare meals. Coffee, tea, seasonings, and many other basic kitchen staples are in stock.
There is a counter style bar that seats two and the nearby dining table that seats six. The living area is graced with a gas fireplace that you can view the flames from all three sides. Though the bathroom is small, it boasts a huge Jacuzzi tub for two. There is a deck in the back yard with a gas grill and outdoor seating.
