Alaska Vacation Rentals
Anyone looking for a vacation rental in Alaska is after one thing – the Great Outdoors. With a state sport of dog mushing, it is evident that Alaskans love to live outside! Even kids can get in on the action with outdoor events like the Annual Kids’ Fishing Derby in Homer!
In Alaska you can find glaciers, active volcanoes, over 3 million bodies of water, and several national parks and wildlife refuges. In fact, 65% of Alaska is run by the federal government and is considered public lands. Someone utilizing a vacation rental in Alaska could enjoy skiing, coastal fishing, hunting, dog sledding, or whale watching on any given day.
With extended daylight hours during the summer (up to 19.5 hours!) and beautiful snow-covered panoramas in the winter, Alaska has many opportunities for fun outdoors. For just a sampling, you can travel north to Kenai, Alaska – they call themselves “Alaska’s Playground” and claim that even Alaskans come here for a fantastic vacation. Even kids can get in on the action at the Annual Kids’ Fishing Derby in Homer!
As far as climate is concerned, the southern central portion of Alaska, including Anchorage and Juneau, is warmer than expected. In the summer months, average temperatures reach well into the 60s! With Alaska’s no-billboards policy, nothing will get in the way of the scenic views from your cabin!
Come travel north to this coastal state to see the Iditarod, the annual trail dog sled race, Mount McKinley, Denali National Park, or Prince William Sound. Alaska has more coastline than all the other states combined, and a vacation rental experience there means lots of adventure, sightseeing, and scenic memories to take back home.

As Alaskans love to sing in their state song:
We love the northern midnight sky,
The mountains lakes and streams nearby;
The great north star with its steady light,
Will guide all cultures clear and bright;
With nature's flag to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.
