The space
The airplane house is located alongside a 1,900’ long private runway that you can fly in or drive in to.

Our other airplane home is also available: https://airbnb.com/h/dc6

The runway separates your private aircraft from the other rental cabins located on our property giving you privacy and quiet!

While it is an active runway, we generally have only 5-10 flights per week and all during daylight hours.

We're about 10 mins from restaurants and grocery stores, 15-20 minutes from "the city".
The property has trails for walking in the summer and cross country skiing in the winter. We connect to a large network of snow machine trails around Big Lake.
You can go ice fishing, dog sledding, and snow machining all within minutes of the property.

In the summer we offer air tours, glacier tours, bear tours, and fishing all direct from the property.
Ask your host if you have any more questions about things to do on your trip!

The property is easy to access from the main road even in winter. Roads are paved and snow plowed, and it is about an hour drive to downtown Anchorage.

Guest access
You'll climb aboard up a flight of stairs through the private jet ridge. You'll find your washer and dryer there and a hallway to access the Master Suite, full bathroom, and guest bedroom, as well as the Kitchen moving forward, living area, dining room, and Cockpit.
There is also a kids room access via a small ladder down into the belly cargo area with a twin mattress.

Other things to note
This is a real airplane that has flown around the world for many years. It has been meticulously gone over to ensure it is comfortable and safe for all of our guests. That being said, common sense is still required when walking around the outside of the aircraft and poking your head into all the compartments you do not normally have access to as a passenger. Please be safe, watch out for sharp edges, and realize that while you are welcome to explore and put your hands on all parts of the airplane inside and out, there are many parts and pieces of the airplane that still can hurt you if you do not know what you are doing. We do have an additional guest charge or $50 per guest for guests not listed in your initial reservation.
There is no smoking or vaping anywhere inside or outside on the 100 acre property ($250 fine).

There are tons of activities to do within a short drive or short bush plane flight of the property including, ice fishing, glacier tours, paddleboarding, snow machining, dog sleds, kayaking, bear tours, fishing charters, etc. Ask your host about all of the options to book out an EPIC experience!
