We hope you come visit!

Here's how you get here......


Start by getting yourself to Alaska.


If you drive it will take from 4 to 7 days depending on how fast you travel.  It's an adventurous road with very few places to get gas and food so carry fuel tanks or top off your gas at every opportunity.   


This map shows the highways in Alaska.  These are the only roads in Alaska.  Most of the state is not reachable by road so we are grateful to have one in our neck of the woods.



Then get yourself to Fairbanks.


From Fairbanks get on the Steese Highway and head northeast.  About 20 miles out you will pass the Kinross Gold Mine where Raz works.  A few miles after that the cell phone service ends.  Ham radio is the way to go if you happen to have that.  Sat phones work too.



Central is 130 miles from Fairbanks.  Gas up before you go.  At about 90 miles out, at this side of 12 Mile Summit, the road becomes a very well graded dirt road.  


The red dot is our place.  When you get to Central turn right at the road house onto Circle Hot Springs Road.  Go 6.5 miles.  Turn right on our street.  Good luck with that, there are no street signs.  Lol.  We aren't even sure what our street name is.  Our house does not have an address.  Don't know why.


The red dot is our place.  The blue dot is the Circle Hot Springs.


Here's our place.  You can see our neighbors airplane parked st the top of the airstrip (our road).

Of course your guest cabin isn't built yet but it will Be!  Come in summer or fall.

Our Floorplan

Here are the floorplan for our cabin.  It's a given that some of it will change a little as we go but here it is so far.  The kitchen, living room, den and bathroom are the part of the cabin that is the current structure.
