✈️ Airplane House on a Private Runway — First-Class Living, Alaska Style
Welcome aboard your custom airplane house, a fully converted 125-foot-long aircraft with a 90-foot wingspan transformed into a 3-bedroom, 2-bath first-class aviation stay. There’s plenty of room to stretch out—including space to relax on the wing deck, where sunsets feel almost unreal 🌅. Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen, a spacious living room, and even a sauna located in the rear cargo compartment—because Alaska.
🛏️ Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps up to 7) • Master suite with king-size bed 👑 • Guest bedroom with queen bed 🛌 • Sofa couch in the living area • Kids’ room tucked into the forward belly cargo compartment ✈️ • Queen air mattress available in the utility closet 🚪 The Boarding Experience You’ll board just like the real thing—entering via the main jetbridge, stepping into the fuselage with the cockpit on your left and the kitchen on your right. Continue down the cabin to the main living area, access the wing deck, find the two main bedrooms, and finish aft where the cargo-bay sauna awaits 🔥. 🔑 Guest Access & Amenities The entire airplane is yours. Enjoy sunset views from the wing deck 🌄, hang coats and do laundry in the jetbridge, warm up in the sauna, or cook serious “airline cuisine” in the fully equipped kitchen 🍳. This is private, immersive, aviation living at its finest. 🌲 Things To Do Around Wasilla & the Mat-Su Valley • ✈️ Scenic flightseeing over glaciers, rivers, and backcountry • 🦌 Wildlife spotting—moose sightings are common • 🎣 Fishing on nearby lakes and rivers • 🚂 Day trips to Talkeetna for dining, shops, and small-town charm • 🫐 Late summer berry picking right on the property • ❄️ Winter adventures: snowmobiling, skiing, and Northern Lights viewing ⚠️ Important Safety Note This is a real airplane that has flown around the world. It has been carefully inspected and prepared for guest use, but common sense is essential. Watch for sharp edges, be mindful when exploring exterior surfaces and compartments, and remember—some aircraft components can cause injury if handled improperly. You’re welcome to explore, just do so thoughtfully. This is not just a stay—it’s an aviation experience, Alaska-style. Fly-Inn and Stay Awhile.✈️
