Life’s Better on the River!
This place was perfect for our family. We really enjoyed the perks (like coffee, champagne and the hot tub). It was fun watching the plane land in the river and the river boat push by daily.

Lake front - 2 bedroom, 1 loft home with hot tub
Andy's place was amazing. Beautiful scenery. Amazing to wake up to the lake. It was nice to fish the lake in front of the house and catch some trout. Taking the boat out on the lake was amazing. Moose visitors were a daily occurrence. Andy was extremely helpful with any questions and very responsive. I couldn't ask for better. If you are looking in the area, stop looking and book this place!

Beachwood Manor - Steps from the beach
Great place right on the beach. Hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. The home is very well loved and take care of. Peaceful and inviting. We had everything we needed and made good memories there. Also very centrally located to everywhere no matter which way you choose to go. I would definitely stay again!

Northern Lights views from bed!
This was a great stay! He’s looking after his host always!

Talkeetna-The Overlook- view of Denali and aurora
We had a great stay at this cozy and peaceful Airbnb! The house was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and just like the photos. The location is serene and quiet, offering the perfect escape. One of the absolute highlights was the stunning view of Denali peak right from the house—truly breathtaking. Highly recommended!

Trailside Alaska - King, Kitchen, Desk, Deck, Pets
We rented this place on our way back from Denali NP in the summers. The place was really easy to find, and the check-in was a breeze. We arrived late and needed somw creamer for our drinks, since there were no shops nearby. Kale was generous enough to let us get it from her personal stash. We had a good night's rest and would love to come again

New Custom Built Mountain View Retreat - Juneau
I love Douglas Island, and the view from the house is spectacular. Gabe was really responsive and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Awesome view-Quiet and Private House- Dogs allowed
Such a great place to stay! We loved the views from the upstairs windows. Even got lucky and saw a mama moose and her baby the day we were leaving. Would definitely book again!

Beautiful Beachfront Lodging: Deckhand Suite
Beautiful views overlooking the ocean! Right on the beach! Clean and comfortable. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. We loved this space!! Andre is great and very responsive! Would stay here again! Book it!

Nana's Cabin
Wow! What an amazing place! The home was so cozy and in a great location. We were able to bbq on the deck and sit and enjoy the view of the lake. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.

Hand crafted Log Home
Larry’s cabin, perfectly nestled in the woods, provided our family of four many happy memories. When we arrived, we opened the door and immediately felt welcome. The windows were sparkling, the floors were spotless, and we had everything we could want and more. We lit the wood burning stove that first night, gathered round the piano, and enjoyed our peaceful surroundings. After the day in Talkeetna, we went for a long walk on our second night, taking full advantage of the midnight sun. Our girls - ages 8 and 10 - loved the swings, the winding stairs to the second floor, and Larry’s dog. Larry and Danielle were kind, responsive, and generous. We would have loved to stay longer!

Views Alaskan Prospect Heights Guesthouse
Donna's place was the 20th time I've booked with Airbnb and it was the BEST place I've ever stayed at. The pictures are exactly the same as in person. It's located in a quiet setting tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We saw a moose during our stay. The decor fits the ambiance above and beyond. We utilized the kitchen for breakfast (frying pans), coffee (mugs, k cups and ground coffee stocked for consumption), and some dinners (several pot options, plates, bowls, silverware, glasses). The massive fridge, freezer, stovetop, oven and microwave worked well. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, q tips, towels and washcloths. The beds were comfortable. There were several blankets throughout the space. We did a few loads of laundry via the washer and dryer which was perfect. I loved putting on the fireplace and relaxing in the cozy living space. This place didn't feel like we were guests but rather that this was our home away from home.

Surf Shack on Hesketh Island
Beautiful location and the sauna was amazing

Adventure Cottage- Historic Palmer Library 1951
Great space- we loved the area. Close to Talkeetna. It was awesome to have a kitchen and laundry by the end of my stay. Would recommend and stay again!

Alaska Forest & Trail - River Cabin 2
We booked this cabin so we could have somewhere nice to stay after a concert in Hope. It was a lovely place to stay, very peaceful, and a great deck over looking the river. Would definitely stay again!
Vacation rentals with pools in Alaska

Beachfront Lodge #708
Lands End Condo on the spot was a perfect getaway for three couples. Walking on the beach from the back porch was peaceful.

Poolside Peaks Retreat
Thank you for sharing your place with our family! It was so nice for everybody to have room to spread out and the pool was awesome for the (obligatory) nightly pool parties required by our 4y.o. nephew. Location was amazing and very peaceful. You could hear loons going at night, and saw multiple moose in area. Host was super responsive and friendly. Can't wait to visit again!

Poolside Manor
This is the best place for family! We had a wonderful time, spacious, comfortable, and quiet. Pool was warm and fun! I will be booking again. The hosts were very accommodating. We appreciate you all! 😊

Beautiful 3bd Chalet plus Cabin available to rent
Wendy is an awesome host, and has a beautiful home. The location is great, with stunning views of Alyeska. The local market, restaurants, brewery, and ski resort is all within a 3 minute drive. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. 10/10 would stay here again. Wendy went above and beyond to make her home an easy place to rent.

Great View of Island Lake. 20 PRIVATE acres. Quiet
My stay here was magical. It was the right amount of rustic with all the comforts of home. The view of the lake and sunsets was tranquil. The place stayed warm even on the coldest night. The place was clean and comfortable. The host was respectful and responsive with lots of recommendations on local activities. We were able to use the community pool and gym, which was included and so great on the rainy days. If you have kids make sure to take them to the community pool! We were by some great fishing spots too. I would come back and stay here again and again.

Delta Junction Retreat w/ Northern Lights Cabin!
Nice place, modern bathrooms. Always hot water for showers. Bed mattress comfortable. Easy access to main highway minutes away.

Dinjik Zheh (Moose House)
Its a great place to stay. Very private and just 15 min away from Fairbanks. This place is also away from the city lights which makes it a great place for watching northern lights.

Luxury Waterfront KING Studio w/Hot Tub
Very amazing stay! Loved the hot tub and it had a very comfy bed!
Your guide to Alaska
Welcome to Alaska
Soaring snow-covered mountain ranges, stark tundras, towering glaciers, and sprawling forests all collide within the boundaries of Alaska, where you’ll find the highest peak in North America and eight national parks. The state’s vast wilderness is home to grizzly bears, wolves, and moose, as well as off-the-gridders happy to trade the comforts of urban living for the austere beauty of Alaska’s rugged landscape. The ways you can experience this place are myriad: slice through the frontier on a glass-domed train, hitch a ride on a dog sled, or navigate the legendarily scenic Alaska Highway. Even the sun shines differently here. Thanks to Alaska’s location in the top half of the Northern Hemisphere, long summer days culminate in the summer solstice, during which it stays light for nearly 24 hours a day, before transitioning to the dark winter months. These unique features elevate Alaska to a singular state with stellar natural beauty.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Alaska
Alaska's vast geographical footprint means you can expect a range of weather throughout the state in any season, and timing your visit depends on what activities you want to optimize for. Summers in Alaska can be quite warm, particularly in the interior, and you can expect long, sunny days that make for great hiking. Winters are chilly, dark, and snowy — depending on where you are going, the temperatures can dip well below freezing. This season is ideal for skiing, snowmobiling, and all other kinds of cold weather fun, as well as spotting the Northern Lights. The shoulder seasons bring a mix of cold and warm weather as well as their own enticements, such as sightings of migratory whales and baby animals in the spring and changing leaves in the fall.
Top things to do in Alaska
Glacier Hopping
Alaska affords travelers many opportunities to get up close and personal with staggeringly large ice formations. In Juneau you can watch brown bears munch on salmon from the safe distance of a viewing platform on the 13-mile-long Mendenhall Glacier. Explore dazzling ice caves — with a seasoned guide — on the Hubbard Glacier near Yakutat, which towers 350 feet above the sealine. A kayak or boat is the preferred way to experience the Columbia Glacier in Valdez, which is one of the fastest moving in the world.
Northern Lights
Alaska is one of the best places to see this fantastic atmospheric phenomenon that produces spectacularly colorful, undulating light displays in the night sky. August through April are prime viewing months, and you have your choice of experiences, such as peeping them from a natural hot spring.
Denali National Park
At more than 20,300 feet high, this park’s namesake peak draws mountaineers in droves but is hardly the only attraction here. The national park’s six million acres encompass glaciers, rivers, and valleys accessed by a single road and are home to the Big Five mammals: moose, caribou, wolves, grizzly bears, and Dall sheep, famous for their extravagantly curved horns.
