About this property

Clean, quiet Alaska bear-themed cabin, with an amazing mountain range view

A peaceful, quiet retreat. Built by the host, this comfortable 400 sq.ft. cabin is located in Big Lake, Alaska. Your Alaska-themed cabin is located about midway between Fairbanks and Homer and about an hour and 15 minutes to Anchorage and the airport. There is plenty of parking for your toys and trailers with nearby trails for snow machining, dog sledding, fat-tire biking, or cross-country skiing. In summer, there is nearby access to Big Lake for boating, kayaking, or putting in your jet-skis. You may hear sandhill cranes in the summer and year-round see moose wandering through the property. There are nearby dog sledding adventures, WakeSurfing rentals, and ice skating (winter) and fun house in the summer. Aurora Lights Cabins are an amazing Alaskan experience!
