Alaska Cabin Rentals
Vacation Rentals in the North

Twelve Alaska cabin rentals, located in the White Mountains Recreation Area north of Fairbanks, are available through the Bureau of Land Management.



Though they are on a trail system, only one is near a road.

A few can be reached by hiking, biking, boats and other means in summer, but most are practical to use only in the winter. It's a 7 mile hike from the road system to the nearest remote cabin and the farthest is 40 miles away.

You can reach them by snow-machine or dog sled in winter. You can also use skis, snowshoes or other possible winter travel, of course.

And if you are a skier, also check on other skiing options north of Fairbanks.

Cabin Furnishings Supplied and Those You Supply:

Bunk beds, a table and benches, cook stove, lantern, fire extinguisher, saw, ax, broom, wood stove and outhouse are furnished. You need to bring a propane fuel tank/cell for the lanterns and cook stoves. Bring extra lantern mantles, in case they've been damaged. Also bring candles, so you'll have light, if the lantern doesn't work.

You'll have to either find firewood for the heating stove or bring it with you. Additional recommended supplies include maps and compass, matches, sleeping bag and pad, extra food items, water, and warm clothing.

Alaska Cabin Rental Size and Accommodations:

The BLM Cabins in White Mountains are either 10' x 12' (3.05m x 3.66m), that will sleep 4 people in bunk beds, or 12' x 16' (3.66m x 4.88m), that sleeps 4 to 6 people and also have storage lofts. There is only one larger, 16' x 16' (4.88m x 4.88m) cabin, which you will see below.

Rental and Contact Information:

All BLM cabins rentals are limited to a three consecutive nights. You can purchase a cabin permit up to 30 days in advance, for $25.00/night. They have to be paid in advance anyway, so if you are out of the State and want to use a credit card, you can rent them by calling 1-800-437-7021 and ask for Cabin Permits Desk.

If you have not made your advance payment yet when you arrive in Alaska, you can call 907-474-2251 or 2252 to order, and pick them up at the BLM District Office, 1150 University Avenue, Fairbanks.
