Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m a mom, wife to my amazing husband Kermit, marketer, photo enthusiast, Aurora Borealis lover, and the proud owner of Aurora Ridge Cabin in Fairbanks, Alaska. I’m also the person behind all of our social media channels, sharing the beauty of Alaska and our cabin with the world.

Since opening our doors to guests in 2022, we have jointly managed Aurora Ridge Cabin with a management company, welcoming nearly 200 separate bookings and hosting guests for more than 700 nights. As the owners, Kermit and I are excited to announce that, as of April 1, 2025, we will be taking over management ourselves to provide a more personalized and seamless experience for our guests.

We take great pride in our 10/10 Exceptional VRBO rating with 18 verified reviews and remain committed to delivering the same outstanding experience that past guests have enjoyed at Aurora Ridge Cabin.

Thank you for being a part of our journey, we look forward to being a part of yours!

Why they chose this property

Nestled amidst a serene forest setting, the cabin offers stunning, unobstructed views of the northern sky—ideal for watching the Aurora Borealis dance across the horizon.

The location struck a balance we couldn’t resist: it’s close enough to Fairbanks for easy access to amenities, yet far enough away to feel like you’ve escaped into the wilderness.

What we enjoy most about this area is the tranquility it provides. You can step outside and feel completely immersed in nature, with the crisp Alaskan air, towering evergreens, and a sense of peaceful seclusion. It’s a place where you can truly unwind, recharge, and connect with the breathtaking surroundings that make Alaska so unique.

What makes this property unique

There are a few things that make Aurora Ridge Cabin truly special. First, our cabin offers an unobstructed view of the northern sky, far from the glow of city lights. If you’re visiting Fairbanks to catch the Aurora Borealis, this is the perfect spot to witness nature’s most magical show.

The cabin’s location is another highlight—close enough to town for convenience, yet far enough away to provide an authentic Alaskan experience. It’s the ideal blend of accessibility and seclusion, giving you the best of both worlds.
