Spend a night under the stunning expanse of Alaska’s starry night skies. Lucky visitors will get to experience seeing the northern lights between November and January. Known for stretching fields of natural landscapes populated by curious bears and the majestic silhouettes of grazing moose, spend the crisp winter afternoons animal watching from the comforts of your temporary home, be it in a glass igloo hotel or luxury cabins in Alaska. But there are those who always prefer to keep it simple and no-fuss in terms of accommodation. To the plain and simple, check out these Airbnb vacation rentals in Alaska for awesome adventures.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

1. The fisherman's cabin near Montana Creek (from USD 88)
Tucked half a mile away from the Yoder Mountain Trail, escape from the bustling city life here in Peter’s cabin, where Mother Nature’s greatest creations are right outside your doorstep! Built from scratch, this cabin is equipped with just the basic facilities as the hosts want you to explore the grandeur of Alaska but it could be the best Airbnb in Alaska for respite-seeking guests. There’s a boiler in the kitchen for your morning fix of coffee or tea, and clean water supplies are found in the pantry. The double sleeper is cosy and warm enough for you to snuggle in even on cold winter nights.

2. Craftsman-styled cottage near Crow Creek Road (from USD 218)
Affectionately named “Kobuk’s Stall” after the white Percheron draft horse that used to live in the timber barn, this mini cottage is the perfect vacation stay for a small family of 4. Perched atop California Creek, you get to fall asleep to the calming sights of towering mountains and glistening glaciers all around you. Melt your post-flight fatigue away by taking a soak in the outdoor hot tub under a starry night sky, or indulge in a much needed me-time with a book in hand. After a long day, you can sink into the luxurious double bed - the day couch can be extended into a sleeper for 2, too!

3. Mini barn near the Chena River (from USD 145)
Don’t be too quick to judge this unassuming cabin! During spring, its surroundings are painted with a lovely hue of green. But the real magic happens during winter when it transforms into one of the coolest Airbnbs in Alaska. Basked in a fluffy coat of white, the cabin looks like a secret home tucked away in the mysterious world of Narnia, where mythical beasts and talking animals roam free. With just enough space to squeeze 3 people in, there’s a cosy seating area with blankets provided to keep you plenty warm and the couch there can also be extended into a single sleeper. With a cushy double bed up in the loft, rest up for a new day of adventuring tomorrow!

The kitchen is fully functional; you can even add a touch of wilderness to your meals by grilling up a meal at the outdoor fire pit and telling of campfire stories! The soft queen-sized sleepers will ensure that you fall asleep the moment your head touches the pillow, and you can use the long couch as a makeshift sleeper for an extra 2 guests.
