Aviators Aurora Lakefront Retreat

Elegant 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment in a serene natural lakeside setting on an airstrip, perfectly situated for aurora viewing from the house or the front patio. We’re 1.6 miles from the iconic Santa Claus House & North Pole amenities, restaurants, & shops including hardware, auto parts & groceries. Only 15 minutes to Eielson AFB & Ft Wainwright, we are an ideal location for work, relaxation, adventure or all three! In-unit laundry.

This airplane hangar apartment offers an authentic Alaskan experience without roughing it. Located in the heart of North Pole, it is enveloped in nature as well as set up perfectly for Aurora viewing. We have recently seen moose, lynx, fox, and families of migrating swans on the lake! The master bedroom is outfitted with all the comforts of home, including a plush king bed with classic Pendleton bedding, a new smart TV, a ceiling fan, a portable standing fan, and room-darkening shades. The open floor plan living room/kitchen area features a cozy sectional fold-out couch with throw pillows and blankets and smart TV for nights at home. For added convenience, the bathroom is located between the master bedroom and the living/kitchen area and offers a bonus walk-in closet and laundry room. Large windows in all areas allow you to immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. This authentic Alaskan venue is perfect for your trip of a lifetime.

Guests may use anything within the unit, on the patio, and on the lake. Access the lake
via the concrete dock to the front-left of the apartment for paddling, floating, swimming, and winter cross-country skiing. Please help us keep everyone safe by respecting the hangar, not touching the airplanes right outside your front door, and not walking on the runway.

We live nearby and are available if you need help. In addition, our good friends at Dreambnb, a phenomenal co-hosting company, help us take the best possible care of you.
