A Bolder View | Steam Shower | Wheelchair Access
Scott and Hester’s place was exactly as described, and they were very responsive! Their clear directions made it easy to find, and we had everything we needed during our stay. I would definitely stay here again!

Idyllic Gem with a Million Dollar View Above Homer
Awesome views! Probably the best spot we’ve been to soak in the hot tub with one of the best views you can find! Highly recommend

Mini Nordic Spa 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!
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
Shanna’s house was amazing in all aspects! Clean, spacious, stocked with amenities and the pool was just the icing on the cake! We woke up a few days to moose in the backyard, which was a treat for the kids. Would absolutely recommend to future guests and we hope to come back again soon!!

Bear Hug Lodge 5br2.5ba
Sarah was so friendly and helpful. Offer suggestions about places to eat and see. I would highly recommend her place to anyone heading to Anchorage.

Poolside Manor
We had an amazing weekend at Rache's poolside manor! There was plenty of space for our two families with one set of grandparents as well. Comfy couch with a TV that had all the streaming options. A well stocked big kitchen and a massive fridge that allowed us to make multiple meals at home for everyone. The pool house was as fun as we expected with plenty of toys and towels to keep teenagers and tweens happy. Was a great relaxing and fun place for our son's state hockey tournament. Will definitely try it out again.

Beautiful 3bd Chalet plus Cabin available to rent
My group enjoyed this location and place on our trip to Girdwood. The home is spacious, clean, and has all the amenities that you need for a weekend getaway. The main bedroom with the king bed is a spacious suite. The queen room is standard in a good way and the blackout shade was wonderful. The third room with the swing bed is a bit awkward for an adult, but we made due. The hot tub is a nice addition to the experience after skiing all day. Bring sandals to walk from the house to the tub. It seats three adults comfortably. Getting around town was a learning curve for us. If you drive everywhere it's easy enough, but if you prefer to walk or ride transit it can take some time. Overall, I highly recommend this house for a ski trip.

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.

Luxury Waterfront KING Studio w/Hot Tub
This studio apartment was everything we needed and more. We sat outside on a couple of warm afternoons, and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Jana's communication before the rental was particularly helpful. No issues with anything.
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.
