If you ever plan a trip to Alaska, then don’t miss the opportunity of staying in the coolest DC-6 Airplane House, a cargo plane vacation rental in Wasilla. This was a fighter plane in 1956, flying across the skies of Alaska, shipping crucial cargo and fuel to remote villages. Now, it has been transformed into a luxury Airbnb with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, one bathroom, a cockpit, and a living room.
The best part is that you can have full access to the wing deck, cockpit, and all parts of the aircraft, experiencing every bit of this one-of-a-kind vacation rental. Good news for pet parents, the plane is pet-friendly. You can spend some time with your furry friends without leaving them at home and constantly missing or worrying about them. You can take the stairs and enter the mud room, also a laundry room, which gives you access to the rest of the plane via the cargo loading door.
Once you are inside, you’ll find a washer-dryer combo and a hallway to access the rest of the rooms. You can refresh in the morning with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, which you can make at a cockpit coffee station, feeling like the main character in the movie. As you sip your coffee, relish the stunning views of the wild mountains of Alaska. If you are lucky enough, you can get to experience the unparalleled beauty of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.
Now that you have your coffee ready, you can take a seat on the sofa bed in the living room and watch some TV. The coffee table is sure to catch your curious eyes with its round glass top and a tire as the base. If you crave more relaxation, sit on the massage chair beside the coffee table and relax your muscles.
Moving forward, there’s a surprisingly full kitchen in the DC-6 Airplane House. The kitchen has enough countertop space for meal prep, adequate cabinets, and cutleries, and cooking basics. You will also find a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, neatly stacked in their designated places. There’s a dining room as well for enjoying meals with your family.
