For one of the best out-of-the-way accommodations in the Fairbanks area, Arctic Roots Farm is a great choice. The modern log cabin comfortably sleeps a family of four on a queen bed and two twin beds. You also get a fully equipped kitchen, laundry room and beautifully furnished living room that has an old-style wood stove at its heart. You can sit out on the upstairs deck and watch for a moose or bear to wander past. A hearty homemade continental breakfast of granola, eggs and sausage casserole, fresh fruit, coffee, tea and juice is stocked in your cabin’s kitchen for you to eat at your leisure in the morning. For other meals, grocery stores and restaurants are a scenic 10-mile drive away in Fairbanks.
Arctic Roots Farm is located on 40 acres in a remote area northeast of Fairbanks. Access to the Chena River is only 6 miles away, where you can rent kayaks or fish for salmon. Also nearby is Paws for Adventure, a sled dog kennel that offers tours, sled rides and puppy hugs. Back at the farm, kids will love visiting with the farm livestock, which includes yaks, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, rabbits horses and goats. It’s an easy drive into Fairbanks for big city attractions like the Museum of the North, Pioneer Park and the Riverboat Discovery cruise. After a day with the crowds, it will be refreshing to head back to the peace and quiet of your log cabin on the farm.
