About this cabin rental
Climb aboard back to 1956! This DC-6 air freighter spent its life flying the skies of Alaska, hauling critical frieght and fuel to remote villages around the state.
Now you can climb aboard for one last flight and stay in this 2 bedroom, 1 bath airplane house with full kitchen, living room, and cockpit!
The DC-6 airplane house is located alongside our private airstrip (1,700ft long) and has plenty of room for your car, truck, and bushplane parking.
The space
You'll climb aboard up a flight of stairs to the Mud Room that gives you access to your airplane home via the aft Cargo loading door. You'll find your washer and dryer there and a hallway to access the Master Suite, full bathroom, and guest bedroom, as well as the Kitchen moving forward, living area, dining room, and Cockpit.
Guest access
You'll have full access to the airplane, wing deck, cockpit and all parts of the aircraft. Please note this was a flying cargo plane for over 50 years. It was designed to fly cargo, not have babies crawl around on the floor. Please keep an eye on your children as many of the parts and systems of the original aircraft that were preserved can be dangerous if misused. There are still sharp edges and parts of equipment we left for guests to enjoy responsibly and carefully.
Other things to note
This is a real airplane that has flown around the world for many years. It has been meticulously gone over to ensure it is comfortable and safe for all of our guests.
