Lake Hood Inn

Anchorage


This spotless upscale home, with four guest rooms, is adorned with airplane artifacts, from a Piper propeller that doubles as a ceiling fan to a row of seats from a Russian airline. Outside are decks where you can watch a parade of floatplanes lift off the lake. Headsets on the lakeside deck even let you listen to radio control.
