A WW II Cargo Plane Is Now A Unique Wisconsin Vacation Rental

As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

In the Northwoods of Wisconsin, an old cargo plane that saw service during World War II is now on its last mission – as a Wisconsin vacation rental that’s unlike any other. Fall asleep among the trees in the protective comfort of “Lady Luck,” a beautiful example of one of the most iconic aircraft ever built. If you love airplanes, United States history, or are just looking for a bucket list experience, this is a rental you should book. Here’s what you need to know.

Perched alongside a serene private lake, a 1941 WWII Douglas DC-3 Airliner evokes the spirit of adventure that defined an era. It;’s the real thing: once flown by the United States Marines for military transport services between Guam, Midway, and Pearl Harbor, this iconic aircraft has been lovingly restored and transformed into an unforgettable Airbnb retreat.

The old plane went through a transformation to become lodging – it now has modern amenities such as air conditioning, heating, a bathroom, shower, and a fully equipped kitchen. Outside, a spacious deck provides the perfect spot to soak in the tranquil beauty of the lake, complete with a grilling area and campfire pit nestled amongst the trees.

Inside, the open floor plan of the cabin offers a surprising amount of space for relaxation and reflection, with sleeping accommodations for up to four guests.

One of the coolest features of this unique accommodation is up in front – you have the opportunity to sit in the fully restored, illuminated cockpit and experience firsthand what it was like to fly one of the most iconic aircraft ever built.

For those arriving by air, the Langlade County Airport offers convenient access to the DC-3 Airbnb, with a car available for transportation during your stay.

There are a lot of lodging options in the Northwoods but none quite like this. Book your stay today and prepare to take flight into the past.

Langlade County has a lot to offer- I’ve enjoyed spending time on the county’s trails and lakes – a stay in this old plane would make a trip even more remarkable.
