My husband and I stayed at Riverbend in February 2012. Debi our host was incredibly friendly, helpful, and gracious. She provided tips and info on places to visit during our stay in Fairbanks. We stayed in the Sourdough cabin which was quaint, clean, and comfortable. The cabin faces the Chena river which runs along the back of the property and... More

We spent 10 days in the Riverbend cabins (December 2011 - January 2012). And in one word I can say that everything was PERFECT. 1. Location: 20 min. driving to the University and the downtown in Fairbanks. 12 min. to the supermarket in Fairbanks or in North Pole. 50 min to Chena Hot springs. 2. The place really beautiful. Everything... More

We decided to have a family trip to Alaska in January in the hopes of seeing the Northern Lights. What we didn't expect was a cute little log cabin to enjoy our inside time. Bruce & Debi Hanson were so welcoming and nice. We wish we had more time to visit with them, so we might just have to come... More

My experience at the Sourdough Cabin was EPIC!. It's so beautiful, peaceful, clean and a great place to see the Northern Lights. I traveled from NYC to Fairbanks, Alaska and was amazed the tranquility that Fairbanks has to offer. The stay at the Sourdough Cabin(s) added more to it... not to forget the Debi... she welcomed me and my friend... More

My friend and I stayed at the Sourdough Cabin in September. The cabin is really very nice, and we were made to feel very welcome by Debi. The main purpose of our trip was to see the Northern Lights, and to relax after spending a few days ice climbing and glacier camping. Our first night there we were able to... More

My family of 9 visited Debi and her home in August 2011 during our Alaskan Adventure. We enjoyed our stay in Fairbanks/North Pole area, especially at this river front home. Debi rents out Log cabins and Cottages as well. We stayed at the home by the river front. The house is located about 10-12 miles from Fairbanks right by the... More

This cottage was so beautiful and relaxing that we had a hard time leaving to go to activities we had reserved in advance! It was extremely clean and furnished very nicely with a lot of extra touches, such as a wood stove, indoor sauna, and an outdoor fire pit overlooking the river. While there, we observed moose in the yard,... More

Two of us stayed in the Sourdough cabin in February - what a treat! It is close enough to Fairbanks, North Pole and Chena to enjoy all, and far enough away so that you can forget those other places even exist! We watched a couple of moose on the frozen river while eating dinner. The aurora was out one night... More

The Cabin is a wonderful place to stay, just located 20 min away from Fairbanks. Chena hot Springs is a 1 hour drive. North Pole is just 10 min away. The land in front of the Cabin and down to the river is cleared and the Cabins are away from any lights which may hinder the sky view, so it... More
