A Bolder View | Steam Shower | Wheelchair Access
We loved our stay here. Beautiful views from every window and we even saw a few moose! Great pet friendly place with all the pet essentials bed, bowls, and blankets. We will definitely stay here again.

Idyllic Gem with a Million Dollar View Above Homer
Can’t say enough about how beautiful a house Brett has…and the million dollar view it affords. 5 bedrooms and a yurt outside creates so much room for everyone…we had 6 in our group, you definitely, if you were couples fit more people. The kitchen had everything you’d need to Cheff up a meal so you wouldn’t have to go out to eat if that’s the way you roll. The hot tub in the yard overlooks the Homer Spit, and the majestic Kachemek Bay mountains across the bay. We would rent here again in a heartbeat. Such a lovely rental!

Ski Chalet with hot tub, sauna & fire pit
This house was a wonderful place to spend a ski vacation at Alyeska. The kitchen was very well furnished and thoughtful things like a bluetooth speaker, dual washer/dryer, and boot dryer were included. The house is also the perfect location for apres ski to enjoy the high end hot tub and barrel sauna. The ski resort is any easy 4 minute drive with plenty of parking. A fun twist on skiing, the resort does not open until 10am, so we enjoyed many relaxing mornings with several pots of coffee before heading out. The Girdwood famous Double Musky Inn restaurant(great for steaks and deserts) is an easy 10 minute walk. There is a recreation path on the mtn road, so you could even bike to the resort if you wanted to. Be sure to stock up on groceries in Anchorage before heading to Girdwood as the town is small and does not have a full sized grocery.

Pair of Expansive View Passive Houses
Lovely place with incredible views of Homer and the spit. We rented both units and it was perfect for a large group. The owner was very welcoming, easy to communicate with, and accommodated the requests we had. The home is conveniently located by various restaurants and other vendors such as Safeway which made our stay more convenient and enjoyable!

Amazing Home in town to rest, relax, & enjoy view!
We've stayed here multiple times and every single time the house was amazing. My wife and kids made the trip with us this year and were speechless when they walked inside with all of the amenities and creature comforts provided. You'll feel right at home, plus the views of Kachemak Bay are great. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and relaxing. Should you need to reach out to the Host, you can expect a quick reply and someone willing to work with you to make your stay stress-free and enjoyable. Thanks again and hope to be back next year!

Bollen House
The location is excellent! It was so nice to be centrally located in town. It was easily walkable to the harbor, coffee, restaurants, bars and shopping. The host went above and beyond helping us as well. We are very thankful and greatly enjoyed our stay.

House of Light | Epic 180° Bay View | NEW In Town!
What a wonderful place! Very bright, amazing view, plenty of space for a family of 5 and the hosts are super-nice as well. Would highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Homer.

Cozy bright small house
Great stay! The place is well maintained and very clean. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen was well appointed with everything you’d need to make a meal. Very close to Main Street.

Studio, ten minutes from airport, & walk to trails
Beverly was a lovely host and her place was exactly as described. There were no surprises. Location was great for what we wanted to do in Anchorage. My only comment would be more with AirBnB. As we were coming from Canada on the Alaska Highway and through Fairbanks, there were many areas where cell service and cell data are not available. Communicating with the host via the AirBnB app / web site is not efficient and messages can be missed.

K Street Cottage
Very nice stay in one side of Kris and Hal's duplex. This is a great location in Anchorage - walking distance from a nice market/coffee shop, downtown Anchorage with many places to eat and drink, and a short walk to the beautiful coastal trail for walking, biking, skiing. The two of us were very comfortable, felt nicely welcomed by Kris and Hal, and enjoyed the quiet, peaceful apartment with a cozy gas fireplace. Highly recommend this place and location in Anchorage!

Alaska Forest & Trail - River Cabin 1
Staying here was a wonderful experience! A perfect little escape in Hope, so remote, and all the amenities -- including the most amazing breakfast! The beds were so comfy, the cabins were warm, and we had the perfect space to prep for our next days bikepacking adventure. Having a hot breakfast ready and accessible was a great start to the day! I would definitely stay again/recommend to anyone hoping to experience a peaceful and beautiful remote Alaska experience!

Sunflower 1123 Downtown
Great spot, Lawrence was very helpful and communicative throughout my stay. Fantastic location just outside of downtown (quiet) but shops and restaurants and a great park only a couple minute walk away. Will definitely stay again.

The Shabbin Playhouse at Alpine Woods 10 mile
The shabbin is a unique stay and for two people is a great experience. Loved the way it is set up on the inside, and the secluded feel yet short drive to town.

One Block from the Bay
Great location close to the bay! The place was clean and met expectations. Was a wonderful stay!

Alaska Aurora Borealis
Such a cozy cabin! Beds were comfortable and the cabin was stocked with some thoughtful touches. Would for sure recommend staying here if you are visiting Fairbanks. Just about 20 minute drive into town. Side note—Would not recommend doing the aurora tour if you are just going to the lodge unless you want a professional photographer taking pics for you. The lodge is very close to the cabin and it’s the same exact view.

Anchorage Family Guesthouse
We had a fantastic stay at Suzi’s place! The home was spotless, filled with great amenities, and the radiant floor heating made it especially cozy on those chilly winter nights. Suzi was incredibly thoughtful host. She suggested a different entrance due to the heavy snow, which was so helpful. When we left early in the morning, we were pleasantly surprised to find the path to our car already shoveled. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Home away from home with RV/Boat parking!
We continue to use this place due to feeling welcomed, location and cleanliness. She goes above and beyond for our kiddos. Cribs, high chairs, toys and books. Great family place to stay.

Three Bedroom Home in Town: Pioneer Inn Guesthouse
Lila was a great host. Would definitely recommend this place.

Beach Home
This was the most incredible beach house! The view was amazing and the home was extremely comfortable. I loved all the beach decor too! We will definitely be back.

Cozy Small House Close to Downtown
This is a little gem tucked away in the middle of Anchorage. We were very comfortable with everything at Raye Ann's place. I will definitely rent there again!

The Chena River House North Suite
Great stay! Located on the eastern side of Fairbanks, it was only about a 10 minute drive to the airport. There was a miscommunication with the garage code key, but the host was very responsive and helpful. Every morning provided a beautiful and scenic view over the river. Some mornings we enjoyed this view from the hot tub. The upstairs bedroom is very nice and spacious. The downstairs bedrooms were simple and sufficient enough to accommodate four of us. The downstairs bathroom is a bit small to share but we made it work. The living room provided a comfy and spacious environment for the whole group to relax in.

3BD-2BA-Walk to UAA/UMed (Locum Nurse or Doctor?)
From our first contact with Ron, we felt well treated and comfortable. The house was perfect for us, as it was near Providence Hospital, where we had a sibling undergoing surgery. The house was well equipped, the beds very comfortable and everything absolutely clean. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely come back. Thanks, Ron and Tracy!

Quintessential Alaska
Our family spent a long weekend playing games, cooking, and celebrating a birthday. There were no distractions to get in the way of family time. The setting is beautiful and the home is very cozy and warm. We all agreed we would book this home again.

Creekside View Main House
John place was just as described, we felt right at home. John is a nice host and responded right away. Location was great in the middle of town close to a lot of places that we went to. I would definitely stay again.
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.
