This was a very positive and fun experience! My three-year-old loved the plane and spent a lot of time in the cockpit and the cargo hold. He did fine with the plane parts, etc. Things to note with an infant (12 months old but not quite walking) - obviously the plan is not child-proofed for this age. There are tons of outlets, the cargo hold door being open while toddler playing in it, and stairs to enter the plane. So a super vigilant parent is needed for an eye at all times. The master is very spacious. The second bedroom has room for a pack and play so that's where baby slept. Little sound proofing, so sound machine (and black out tent) were needed. This was very fun, so I don't like noting the negatives. However, we did not receive the check-in information in a timely manner. I requested the pack and play twice in the week leading up to check-in, and did not hear back. Captain Jon was directly texted and check-in information was then provided. In addition, we were not given information that Google Maps takes you to the wrong location for the address listed in VRBO. At the wrong address, there is a posting with QR code to the correct location. Four stars for cleanliness - there were dirty towels in the washing machine, no new sponge provided or any dish towels (paper towels were available), high chair was dirty and needed cleaned before use. No bakeware, such as a 9x9 dish, available, for those planning meals at the rental.

Cool place but not at all relaxing unless you like construction zones

We arrived well and were super excited about our stay. I left this as a surprise for my family on our last night in Alaska. As we settled in on the wing seating area a catepillar started construction right next to the wing moving truckload after truckload of dirt. The noise had us yelling at each other to communicate and unable to get to sleep and after two hours of trying to be patient we tried to reach out to the owners. Finally someone came to respond but instead of being sympathetic her response was “we’ve never had anyone complain about this before”…Wow. You be the judge- For over a grand for one night it’s totally not worth it if they will still be doing construction while you’re trying to relax and enjoy what they have tried to create.
