Last Frontier cabin Airbnb interior design in Anchorage
A nature-inspired Alaska cabin, designed and furnished around ice and sky blues, salmon pink, and sun-bleached red, built to be a profitable, memorable short-term rental.
How to design a profitable Airbnb cabin
Travelling to Alaska was such a breathtaking and inspiring experience, and having the opportunity to work on this Anchorage Airbnb design and installation was an amazing and fun project. Shipping furniture to the Last Frontier can be tricky, and I am glad I found Shop and Deliver by Lulu, who take care of everything, from ordering your shopping list to doorstep delivery in Anchorage.
Competition is fierce in the world of short term rentals, and it can be tough to get potential guests to click on your listing and book their stay. Great Airbnb design, functional amenities, useful necessities, fun games and professional photographs can make a real difference. Once booked, a place still needs to feel as cozy, functional and consistent as the listing photos and description.

This Anchorage design is part of our specialized short-term rental design service, helping hosts increase visibility, bookings and guest satisfaction in a competitive market. To stand out from competing listings, it is important to create a unique style and cohesive color palette that makes your space memorable. For this Alaska cabin, I drew inspiration from the state’s dramatic natural landscapes and native artwork, translating that into a scheme of ice and sky blues, salmon pink, and sun-bleached red. To give the space personality, I mixed in thrifted vintage decor, glassware, books, and a combination of real and faux greenery.
Master and guest bedrooms
The master bedroom and ensuite feature an elevated, chic cabin aesthetic with blues and warm golds. The two guest bedrooms share a bathroom and are inspired by the warm, inviting feel of classic ski lodges, blending coziness with style. Quality beds and durable furnishings carry the comfort through every room.
Game room and glamping loft
The extra room downstairs serves as a fun game room with a combo game table, an arcade machine, a selfie backdrop, and a dedicated desk space. In the upstairs loft, a playful glamping area can accommodate up to four people, ideal as a kids’ sleeping zone or additional guest space. Every choice follows the same design rules that make a rental perform.
Outdoor space
Outdoor living is key for an Airbnb, even in Alaska during the winter months. Colorful Adirondack chairs, pillows, and a fire pit make the outdoor area an inviting extension of the cabin, catching guests’ attention and helping the listing stand out from the competition.
