Stay during work trip.

This hanger-house was great. I stayed here for over a week while in the area for work. Such a relaxing spot, easy to access, zero issues. Will be bringing the family next time.

Cozy winter getaway

We had a great time here! It's very clean, modern, and cozy. Perfect for watching the auroras in March. The owner was really quick with responses and is very knowledgeable about the area. We got a lot of good information about activities we could do while we were in town. We'd love to visit again!

Incredible Stay

The place was clean with a wonderful layout and the views were spectacular. We got to see an incredible display of the Northern Lights to finish out our stay. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend!

A unique stay with all of the amenities and a responsive, helpful host. It has my 3 c's...clean, comfortable, & convenient and much more. A quiet location but has shopping, etc close by. The aviation theme was an added bonus for a pilot like myself. Been around the world at many unique properties...this was one of the best! 5/5 would stay here again...and definitely will on my next trip.

Best VRBO experience

We loved every day we stayed in this wonderful Alaskan home. We were fortunate to the see the auroras dancing in our backyard for most of the the nights. Appreciate the activity recommendations and quick responses. Loved the heated floors, cleanliness, and all the homey amenities. Appreciate the quick response and toddler gear. Hope to stay here again when our little one is a little older. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience.

One of the best

I have vacationing with VRBO for many years. This was one of the cleanest, and nicely decorated. Jesse, the host was only a phone call away and was full of information of things to do in the area. It was close to town yet the trees and surroundings made you feel you in the country.

Wonderful stay

This apartment is laid out perfectly. Very comfortable. Has everything that you would need during your stay. We ate all of our meals in. Something about being outside at a - 27, except for the Northern Lights show that we were able to photograph and enjoy for several nights. Jess is an incredible host. Communicated well. LOVED the artwork, the airplane models, , framed picture of a Moose. The washer and dryer are a plus. We would still be there if the schedule would have allowed. Jess, thank you for the wonderful time/stay that we had and also, how to check if the Aurora is in the area. Thanks again for the wonderful time!!!

Best hosts!! More than 5 stars!

If I could give 10 stars I would. I moved from the Big Horn room to the Aviators Aurora after two weeks and stayed here the rest of the time we were in Ak. The Big Horn room was great, but this was like a palace. If you are on the fence, spend the little bit extra and get this one. Jess has thought of everything here! From soft cozy blankets everywhere, high end fixtures and finishes, fully equipped kitchen and on and on. As if that is not enough she was always asking if there was anything else I needed, but honestly there never was bc it was already there. Outdoors they also thought of everything. Canoes, paddle boards, fishing gear, corn hole, grills. This will be our home away from home from now on. If you have a chance to go on the Riverboat, you might see your host doing the Bush Pilot demonstration, it was very cool. We also enjoyed watching lots of take offs and landings right out our window. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back!

Amazing place to stay

Jesse, the host, was wonderful, very responsive and welcoming. The place is so cozy and comfortable. The scenery is amazing. The proximity to town is so convenient, yet you feel like you are completely removed from civilization. CantIcan'twait to wait to get back to
