Accuracy verified by Hipcamp's on-the-ground team.

Nearly five acres surrounded by pristine Alaska-state land, and within short trekking distance of the famous Nenana river. Toghotthele mountain stands nearby, with some impressive hiking trails to be explored! The Tanana River is in short driving distance (3 miles) of the Coop Camp, as is shopping, a cultural museum and historical centers.Have a true Alaskan experience as you cozy up in this tiny cabin with a view of "The Big One." You'll be a stone's throw from the iconic Nenana river and famous Alaska Railroad, with plenty of opportunity for moose sighting. Located an hour (55mi) south of Fairbanks and an hour (60mi) north of Denali National Park and [xxxxxxxx] is a full kitchen; refrigerator, gas range, microwave oven, coffee pot, and a water kettle. This cabin is in a very quiet location with views of Denali. This cabin has been recently renovated as our cozy guest house with 325 ft² of living space, as we have just finished working to complete construction of a separate family home. Our cabin space is a perfect blend of modern design and amenities, and Alaskan rustic elegance. It is conveniently located in Nenana, directly between Fairbanks and Denali National Park and Preserve. For those hoping to get the quintessential Alaska experience, our cabin is perfectly situated on 5 acres of privately owned land surrounded by Alaska State Land. From the deck, you will be able to watch the famous Alaska Railroad pass by on the horizon. On quiet evenings, you can hear the wood frogs in the tundra and watch birds from the cabin deck, often seeing and hearing sand hill cranes, trumpeter swans, ptarmigan, loons, eagles, owls and robins, surrounded by miles of wilderness and nature. Our cabin is at the end of the road, away from chaos, providing excellent privacy. As guests, you'll have private access to the entire cabin for the duration of your stay. You will have your own slice of heaven with beautiful Alaskan views and a comfortable patio to enjoy. Many residents of Alaska choose to live full time in a dry cabin, a cabin without running water. Our outhouse is comfortable, heated, and clean. Purified water is provided for hand washing and cooking. Gray water is collected under the sink and must be emptied by guests. There is a seasonal, heated outdoor shower.

The hosts, Eric and Hannah, were frequently mentioned for their responsiveness and helpfulness, often going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

Great outhouse but no light or window to let in sunlight. We left a little battery powered lamp behind for any future guests to use. The spot was mostly quiet except for being able to hear the owner talking on the phone inside his house after 10 pm. There was zero shade so make sure you have something to sit under in case the weather is hot & sunny. The firepit was great and the chairs awesome to lounge in. The view was mediocre but a very short distance from Nenana and about an hour from Denali. Overall great place to camp.

We have stayed in quite a few hipcamps/ rustic lodgings and The Coop Cabin was by far the best! The heated composting toilet and heated outdoor shower were awesome! Hannah was super helpful and quickly responded any time we needed anything and gave us some great Fairbanks recommendations! We enjoyed multiple sunsets on the deck and even had a fire one night! We could also see Denali from the deck one morning!
