A Bolder View | Steam Shower | Wheelchair Access
This is a beautiful, welcoming, and cozy space. Scott and Hester have stocked the place with anything you might need during your stay. It was the perfect spot for our family to have downtime and quiet evenings while visiting family down the road. We will be staying there again!

Idyllic Gem with a Million Dollar View Above Homer
This is a beautiful home in one of our favorite Alaskan towns. The million dollar views are stunning from the house & hot tub. With seven of us staying there, we had plenty of rooms / space to roam. The basement bar and theater room is an awesome amenity that we took full advantage of. We had two toddlers with us and even with a spiral stair case, it worked great for our weekend getaway. The house may be great, but honestly, it was Brett taking the time to visit with us and be available for anything we needed. He makes this property worth revisiting over and over again. Not many people own air BnBs and respond so quickly and take the time on the phone with you. The hospitality he exudes is truly so heartwarming to witness. If you can’t decide where to stay- the upper view of the spit and mountain ranges from here is incredible! Especially drinking your coffee in the sunroom or from the hot tub. What an experience!

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!
This location was perfect for our family. We had young children who felt so at home they didn’t want to leave after our 3 day stay. All ages had a wonderful time and we are so thankful to have had quality family time together. Thank you!

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.

Backyard Retreat w Full Kitchen, Laundry, Townhome
Great location! Took 15 minutes or less to get everywhere in town. Easy entry and instructions, perfect for our late night arrival. Close to the Aurora cams so we could check the app and decide if we could go outside. Ian was awesome, quick responses and helpful recommendations. Would 100% stay here 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.

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.

Beachfront Lodge #711
Wonderful stay at Lands End. Absolute stunning views and great location on the Homer spit. Even more beautiful than the pictures. Resort staff very helpful, friendly and responsive. Would absolutely return.

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
We were able to see the northern lights from the back yard

Dinjik Zheh (Moose House)
I really liked the location, close to Downtown and Chena hot springs. Could see the northern lights from our bnb, which was amazing!! I wished there was a shower head though, not that comfortable using the hand held showers, but that is my personal preference. Overall, you are paying for a great location with a great hot tub.
Home rentals with pools in Alaska

Poolside Peaks Retreat
Our family had the time of our lives! The swimming pool was the highlight of the trip. The kids didn’t want to leave. Each room was so cozy and decorated so nice! We were so comfortable and had everything we needed with a short trip down to Three Bears. The house is amazing and so private. We even saw northern lights. We hope to visit again!

Luxury Waterfront King 2 BR-HotTub
We had a great time at Jana’s home. The location is awesome and so many amenities on site to include a great hot tub, backyard fire pit, board games inside, etc. Her place definitely felt like a home away from home from the start. We hope to be back to Fairbanks in the future and would definitely stay here again!

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
Went here for my son’s 14th bday with the family! It was a perfect place for a family get together! The pool was warm, lots of toys and private. My kids absolutely had a blast and we will 100% be making this a regular place to hold our events. The hosts were friendly, responsive and they were extremely kid friendly. Amazing place and amazing time

PawPaw's Pool House
Beautiful place with great views. Fabulous amenities. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Convenient to everything. The extras made for an enjoyable stay. Taught my daughter to play chess. Kitchen is set up with everything you need. You don't even need to leave the house. Owner was very responsive and was helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend highly.

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.
