What a treasure find, if you are looking for a log cabin that makes you feel Alaskan, but you want all the amenities, this is your place! Dawn was a great hostess giving you information and very welcoming without being overbearing. She is pretty straight forward so she will be as involved or laid back as you are wanting. The... More

We stayed in Anschen Log House for 6 nights at the end of February 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We arrived at the house quite late on a Saturday night and Dawn (the owner) kindly upgraded our room as the superior room was free. Dawn continued to be a thoughtful and warm host throughout our stay and is a... More

I work for a television production company and I was searching for a log cabin to film in for days, until I found Anschen Log House and talked to Dawn. It was everything we hoped for and much more. The beauty of the log cabin was breathtaking, and looked great on camera. Dawn was a terrific host, and couldn't have... More

This whole experience was unforgettable. This place shines like a beacon amongst many other wonderful B&Bs we stayed at but this was The Superlative! Lounging on the balcony in the last warm sun of the Fall, and watching the riverboat slowly wend its way past, was so peaceful and relaxing. The house is a beautiful home yet is a treasure... More

Our mistake: we stayed here for just two days. What we should have done: stayed longer. Having run the gauntlet of pseudo-hospitality from other B&Bs in the region and Fairbanks, this one was just superb. Genuine hospitality, Dawn is full of practical knowledge about the area and is flexible. Sydney the parrot is also pretty friendly and likes the attention.... More

Four days in Fairbanks at the Anschen Log House, what a treat! The house is built of massive timbers, with a huge fireplace on the main floor and welcoming fires every morning. Original artwork on the walls--unusual local Alaskan arts and some spectacular paintings by a family member--make it a delight to browse around the open great room and dining... More

Our stay at the Anschen Log House was more enjoyable and hospitable than we could have imagined. We were warmly greeted by Dawn and Sydney (Paul was on duty on the North Slope) when we arrived, shown to a wonderful room, and offered a slice of home made pie. The decor in the entire house is beautiful. It captures the... More

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
