One of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed! Loved watching the seaplanes take off right from the living room area! Super clean and modern!

Perfect for our first trip to Alaska
Our stay at this VRBO on a pristine seaplane lake was absolutely amazing! The views were spectacular, and watching planes land and take off was the highlight of our trip. Not only did we get to enjoy the seaplane base, but we also made a reservation to fly with them on one of their excursions, which made it the absolute perfect location.
The convenience of having a restaurant onsite, along with a fully equipped kitchen, made our stay even more enjoyable.
The place was clean and very comfortable, making it the perfect spot for our first visit to Alaska.
