The massive log timbers (some 2 feet or more in diameter) and spacious, comfortable and quiet rooms overlooking the Chena River would be enough to commend this location, but it was the genuine care and consideration of the proprietors, Dawn and Paul that made our stay truly special. My father was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and our trip was kind... More

I've stayed at Anschen Log House twice in the past, but have not reviewed it before. The first time I stayed here was out of necessity. I don't normally stay at B&B's, but stay was more like visiting long lost family than at a B&B. Paul and Dawn were truly warm people who want their guests to have an experience... More

I arrived in Fairbanks on the scenic, twelve hour train ride from Anchorage (a must-do on your Alaska Travel Bucket List) where, my gracious host, Dawn Andrews, was waiting for me in a warm and very capable 4WD truck which I have dubbed The White Knight! She whisked me away to her lovely and charming log mansion (freshly chinked), overlooking... More

For the past 9 months we have spent many hours reminiscing about our wonderful stay at the Anschen Log House. We often speak fondly of the memories made by Dawn and Sydney during our too short stay in Fairbanks. From our initial approach to our walk along the Chena River to our comfortable room and delicious breakfast, we talk of... More

I stayed for 2 nights during Dec - Jan timeframe at Anschen Log house and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It's a beautiful log house and one can spend hours just taking pictures of the log house and its surroundings. Its located next to the Chena river and is also an ideal place for snow shoeing, Both of the nights I... More

Stayed here for four nights while attending a conference at the University. Excellent location--close to campus, amenities, and airport. Dawn was a fantastic host and served fabulous breakfasts. Very easy to get along with--we had several long conversations during our stay. Shared bathroom between the two bedrooms but we never heard the other couple showering in the morning. Room darkening... More

Wonderful home on the Chena River with an even nicer host. Our 3 day Fairbanks stay was revised to include the pleasant setting and visiting with Dawn. Spacious very tidy home that just happens to be made of some larger logs. The recent history of the North Slope/Villages that Dawn and Paul have lived is very interesting as are the... More

I chose this B&B for my family's trip after doing research on the internet and seeing the glowing reviews and now I just have to add my own. The house itself is wonderful and unique, located right on the banks of the Chena River. The architecture is amazing, it truly is a 'log' cabin made of massive logs but with... More

We stayed 2 nights prior to start of our cruise/landtour end of May/early June. We enjoyed relaxing, talking with owner and learning about Fairbanks. We felt at home and had fun talking to Sydney and having her show us tricks! It's close to the airport, 10 min, but far enough away on the Chena River, you felt like you were... More
