Finding an affordable place to call home while you’re studying at the University of Alaska is a challenge many students face each year. Instead of living in a dorm or apartment, check out the rental cabins from Diamond Willow Cottages. They offer comfortable units nestled in the woods that are also close to all Fairbanks has to offer. Here, they share a few of the unique benefits of dry cabin living for UAF students.

5 Benefits of Cabin Life

1. Location

Diamond Willow Cottages is located just 1.5 miles from the UAF campus entrance. This means you can leave your car at home when you don’t feel like driving. Instead, ride your bike, take a scenic walk, get some fresh air, and save money on parking fees and gas. 

2. Privacy

Diamond Willow Cottages may be close to restaurants and nightlife, but you’ll still be able to enjoy the feel of country living. Their rental cabins are set back in the woods away from the city lights and noise and are completely detached from the other units. This means you won’t hear your neighbor’s alarm clock first thing in the morning.

3. Affordability

Dry cabin living is an affordable option for students working with a limited budget. Apartment rentals in the area can run as much as $1,200 each month. At Diamond Willow Cottages, their rates are significantly lower than other area rentals, helping you stick to your budget.

4. Spacious Cabins

Their spacious single-family rental cabins can accommodate up to two adults easily. Whether you’re looking to save money on rent by sharing with a roommate or want a place of your own without the high rent of other properties, Diamond Willow Cottages can help.

5. Fully Equipped Kitchens

Each cottage includes a fully equipped kitchen with ample counter space for easy food preparation. This means you’ll be able to cook your own meals and enjoy higher-quality food than is typically found at the university cafeteria. Best of all, you’ll be able to run home in the middle of the day for lunch, helping you stay healthy year round.
