Decommissioned airplanes turned into Airbnbs are one of the coolest conversions for a unique experience. If we are to name a few, the DC-6 Airplane House and Pablo Escobar’s private jet Airbnb top the list. There are more, and the Douglas DC-9 Airplane House is among them. The airplane Airbnb has been fully converted into a 3-bed, 2-bath house that can be a weekend getaway like never before. Nestled in the Alaskan wilderness, this private jet welcomes seven guests for an epic outdoor adventure and unapologetic indoor comforts.
The pet-friendly airplane Airbnb is alongside a 1,900-foot-long private runway that you can fly in or drive onto. The interior is completed with a full kitchen, living room, bathroom, sauna, and wing deck with a hot tub and outdoor furniture, and a private indoor sauna. You can easily access the interior through a flight of stairs and the private jet ridge.
Upon entrance, you will find a laundry room where you can take off your dirty shoes and wash anything that needs washing before accessing the other spaces. The laundry room connects to the other spaces in the airplane through the hallway.
If you want a spot to take a breather, then the living room welcomes you. It has plush seating and an entertainment wall. If that is not your vibe, head out onto the wing deck from the living room and breathe in fresh air and savor the spanning views. For someone who loves cooking, the kitchen doesn’t disappoint. It is quite roomy for the space and comes stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal. There’s an L-shaped countertop, decent storage, and high-end appliances.
The Douglas DC-9 Airplane House offers three furnished bedrooms. The first bedroom houses a king bed, room-darkening blinds, and a private TV. The best thing about the bedroom is the attached toilet. The toilet has a vanity sink and some shelves for storage. The second bedroom is less spacious but snug otherwise. It comes with a queen bed, heating, room-darkening blinds, and fresh bed linen.
The third bedroom is the highlight of the plane, especially for kids. This area is called belly cargo, as it is on the lower level. Accessible via a ladder, it is perfect for kids to sleep, read, or play. Elsewhere, there’s a complete bathroom for all the guests to use. It has a shower, toilet, and vanity sink. Did we mention that you can experience the beauty of this metal bird in the cockpit area? Well, you can hang out in a cockpit area with kids. They will surely love it.

For safety, certain rules must be followed during your stay at Douglas DC-9 Airplane House. It’s a real airplane with real parts still intact and sharp edges, so make sure you don’t run into them or touch them, especially kids and pets. Though there are plenty to explore indoors and outdoors, some compartments in the plane don’t give you access to explore, so be aware of that.
Otherwise, you can explore and undertake activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, bear tours, ice fishing, dog sleds, glacier tours, and more, depending on the season you visit. So, don’t delay and book the entire plane on Airbnb for $912 per night because it’s more than a stay; it is a wild, epic adventure awaiting you.
