About this space
Step back in time to 1956! Climb aboard this authentic Douglas DC-6 Air Freighter, a legendary aircraft that spent decades hauling critical fuel and cargo to remote Alaskan villages.
Now retired from the skies, it has been converted into a unique 2-bedroom, 1-bath home. Located on our active private runway, you can sleep surrounded by aviation history, explore the original cockpit, and enjoy modern comforts inside a fuselage that has circled the globe.
