About Alaska Vacation Rentals
Alaska is notable not only for being the largest state in the union, but also for being the least densely populated. This makes the state an ideal retreat for those who love quiet, solitude, and a pristine natural setting.
Of course, Alaska is also home to bustling cities, which means that our
Alaska vacation rentals offer unprecedented variety. Those seeking to leave civilization behind can do so in style here, and can expect not to encounter any neighbors beyond the local wildlife.
Alaska is also home to a rich cultural heritage, including that of its native peoples and the influence of the Russian families that once dominated here. When America purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million, at roughly $.02 an acre, it was considered by many to be a colossal waste of resources. However, as people discovered in the ensuing decades, Alaska actually possesses a wealth of resources in its own right. From the gold rush of the late 1800’s to the oil boom in the 20th century, Alaska has proven to be an asset to America time and again. The state’s citizens are a hardy and self-reliant group who are, nonetheless, quite warm to visitors and eager to show what makes their state unique and beautiful. From exploring glaciers to hiking in the wilderness, Alaska has something to offer every traveler.
