Why Hygge House? Because we believe hygge embodies what our retreat is all about. Hygge (hue-geh) is a Danish word used to acknowledge a moment or a feeling or a space that embodies coziness, something special, something unique and many times with a tie to nature. While we do not live in Scandinavia, many of our Interior Alaska life pleasures and challenges are similar to those found in other Northern countries. Both in the Winter as well as in the Summer.
Our retreat is all about being cozy and appreciating the simple things in life. While we can’t create a hyggelig feeling for anyone, we can certainly provide the environment and set the stage for them to experience their own hyggelig moments.
Hygge House is on a 10-acre property on top of Cranberry Ridge in the hills just North of Fairbanks. It is in an ideal spot to base out of for adventures. The City Skyline, the Alaska Range, Denali and the Goldstream Valley are all visible from the property. As the seasons change so do the views. In Winter, the views are very clear, but in Summer when all the foliage is leafed out you have to explore a little bit for the views. The property and area is safe and quiet. And quite lovely.
The Aurora is visible from many angles on the property. You can either just look out the front window, sit in the hot tub and watch the colors dance over head or head out for a walk to catch different shots. Aurora Season is around August 21st to April 21st.
Wildlife roam as they please. Moose, Fox, Lynx, Snowshoe Hare and Porcupine are some of the common visitors. Boreal Owls love to hang out along the trail behind the house. You may even see a Ptarmigan. Ravens, Chickadees, Woodpeckers and Grouse live here year round while other migratory birds will hang out for the Summer.
The gardens around the property are evolving and the trails to wander are infinite. The house is set in a Boreal Forest with Birch, Aspen, Poplar and White Spruce to the south and Black Spruce on the North side. Access to the Skyridge Trail system is super easy to get to.
In Winter, the property is typically warmer than in the city or any lower valley location. When the inversion effect is in place, temps will be 10-30 degrees warmer.
While the area is quiet, you will most likely hear the sounds of chickens from our property next door. Although they are a few hundred yards away, the hills are alive with the sounds of egg laying music.
We are a family owned and operated business. No property managers...all communication is from us to you, period. We want you to have the best experience possible.
Lastly, we are huge supporters of local. We support local artists, producers, and businesses as much as we possibly can. You will find featured products throughout our home.

While the property is secluded, it is also very close to town and many conveniences and attractions.

And....of note, your dream parking awaits! You will have full access to the large, heated garage to park your vehicle. No hassles of plugging in your vehicle or removing snow or scraping ice. There is plenty of outside parking available as well. A 4-wheel drive or AWD vehicle is recommended for flexibility in your travel during Winter, but there are multiple ways to get to the top of the ridge, whether you take Skyline Drive all the way to the top direct to the driveway, or attempt the steeper Summit Drive paved road.
