New* WATERFRONT Bushplane Hangar Home *Jacuzzi* Aurora Views! ~Bushplane Escape~

It doesn’t get anymore Alaskan than this—your own 3-bedroom, waterfront airplane hangar home! The hangar home is located on a private lake and airstrip. Watch floatplanes take off and land right from the living room window! You have your own beach, will get the full Alaskan experience, yet only minutes from town and all the local attractions.
The space
New construction, industrial chic decor loaded with amenities: Wi-Fi, 55” Roku HDTV, luxurious sheets, high-end memory foam beds, towels & bath products. A nice patio facing the water, propane barbecue, a sled & 2 sets of snowshoes are available for your use. A Keurig and coffee maker pot with a selection of coffee, tea & hot chocolate are complimentary. All basic utensils & cookware needed to prepare a home-cooked meal are included. The entire space is bright, open and airy, with views of Alaskan planes and the Chena Hills beckoning you outside. Airplane parking available for a fly-in guests, tie downs available on site.
Guest access
The hangar home has its own separate outdoor entrance—the entire three bedroom apartment is available for guest use. The rest of the hangar is not available for guest use, it is where we store our personal aircraft.
Other things to note
8% Borough Bed Tax included in the total price

*We have small children ourselves, so have tried to make our place family-friendly. There is a pack-n-play, high chair, a basket of kids toys, puzzles and books and a few pre-teen chapter books for your convenience.

This area is generally very peaceful and quiet. However, as it is an aviation-centered community, there is the potential for airplane noise—planes coming and going sometimes as late as 10 pm. Please let me know if for some reason you need quiet earlier than this on any certain night and I will try to let my husband know to not go flying on that night

*Unsanctioned parties will result in an additional $500 penalty fee. If the apartment is left extremely dirty and needs deep cleaning, there will be an additional $200 cleaning fee assessed.

Late check out- we have a 10 minute grace period, after 10 minutes we charge $50 per half an hour until check out or double the nightly rate after one hour. Please be courteous of our cleaners and unless you have arranged a late check out or made other arrangements with us, check out is at 11 AM prompt.

*We do have outdoor cameras on the property that record both audio and video. They are only monitored to ensure registered guests arrive safely and in the event of any issues. They may not be covered or disabled

*We love animals, but we do not allow pets in the apartment. If you have a service animal, please answer the following questions legally allowed by the ADA regarding your service dog.
1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

*We ask a $50/dog/visit pet fee for service animals. Guest remains liable for any and all damage caused by people or dog.
Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. The animal must be under control of the handler at all times therefore never left alone at any time.
If we discover a guest has misrepresented a pet as a service animal, we reserve the right to seek financial restitution, report fraudulent claims to government authorities and to evict the guest(s) without further notice. In the latter case, there will be no right to a refund for unused rent.The space

Beautiful Home!

We absolutely LOVED our stay! This was the first time I’ve booked a VRBO because we usually stay in our timeshares so I didn’t completely know what to expect. The property is beautiful, the jacuzzi tub was amazing (I’m kicking myself that I didn’t take a picture of the brand!), we saw the Northern Lights from the deck and there was plenty of room for our family of five to spread out. There was everything we needed from extra blankets to toiletries to a crock pot and more. If we return to Fairbanks we know where we’ll be staying. These accommodations and hosts helped make my son’s senior trip even better!

Beautiful Location

We did a couples' trip to Fairbanks for an extended winter weekend. Unfortunately, holiday travel delays forced us to adjust our initial plans and request a change to our stay. Thankfully, the host was accommodating, and our friends were able to check in two days early!Our stay was lovely overall. The property is stunning, with all the amenities you could need. The sleds and snowshoes were a fun bonus that added to the winter experience.Our only issue was with the heat. When our friends arrived, the property had no gas, so there was no heat or hot water on the first night. Thankfully, this was resolved the next day, and the host was very communicative throughout the process. However, due to the home’s concrete structure, it took a long time for the space to warm up. The downstairs became comfortable after a few days, but the upstairs remained chilly and took a long time to warm up. Those staying upstairs had to rely on the radiator nightly to stay warm.Overall, we’d rate our stay 4.5 out of 5 stars due to the heating issue. That said, everything else worked out wonderfully, and we’d recommend this property for a winter getaway!

Such a Wonderful Stay!

This rental was such a great find and my family and I were so happy with our stay. It was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. So many nice touches, like stocked kitchen, coffee and tea bar, and the use of the laundry room. The location was lovely and we all enjoyed the serene water views. We had plenty of space amongst are group and we were never too far from any of our outings. Thanks to Ruth for her communication and easy checkin instructions. If only we could have stayed longer!

Perfect for family

We stayed at the airplane hanger apartment for a reunion with our adult children, one of whom lives in Fairbanks. This is one of the nicest VRBO's we've stayed in. The views are picturesque and everything you need is in the very spacious home, even a fussball table! Very close to the airport and a bit more than 90 minutes to Denali.

What a great space. We would be happy to stay here again. It was a great space for us - two adult couples celebrating a 20-year friendship and new year's eve. We had plenty of space and the property was very clean and well stocked. At one point we needed scotch tape and we found it in the laundry room! The kitchen was extra well stocked with spices, coffee and condiments.

We took our 3 twelve year old grandsons to Fairbanks for a week of fun and adventure. The house was perfect for our needs. Loud young men need their own space. A hotel room would have been a disaster. The location was great, and they enjoyed watching the planes take off and land. The place was well stocked, and if it weren’t for the unseasonably hot weather, the trip would’ve been perfect. Thank you. We had a great time.
