About this property

The Hands Down COOLEST Stay in Fort Worth - Active Airplane Hangar

It's time to start heading towards adventure! Welcome to the The Aviator! A space located within an active airplane hangar. You can capture airplanes as they come and go, grab a drink at the nearest bars or stay in, have your next office meeting, and even take a discovery flight. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or just trying to break out of the ordinary, you'll enjoy the Aviator!

*Ask us about our complimentary discovery flight of Fort Worth for stays 3+ nights, based on the availability of the airplane and the pilot.

No pets allowed :( Please let us know if you have a service animal in advance so we can better accommodate you.

There are 2 residential parking spaces for regular sized vehicles (F250s, Trailers, or Tahoes will not fit.) Since this is an active airplane hangar, any additional or oversized vehicles are required to be communicated prior to your reservation - otherwise will not be able to be accommodated.

Note: You will have access to all parts of the airplane hangar, but you only have exclusive access to the upstairs portion. The hangar is used to store planes for a flight school and therefore there might be pilots and instructors in the bay area.

Second stay, still the best

This was our family's second stay. It's a great location with lots of space for small groups. It was perfect for our mini family reunion, with plenty of activities for the kids and adults. It's a Short walk to the Wing It café next to the runway. Ray does a great job of making you feel welcome. Thanks again for another fabulous visit!

Fun, memorable, a one of a kind experience

You can’t find a more interesting place to stay! Besides being in a hanger, the place had billiards, air hockey, foosball, and ping pong. It was clean and the host was communicative, helpful, and friendly - our guys loved the treats. We enjoyed the Wing It Cafe at the airfield. Some of us signed up for flight lessomns! Unforgettable! We hope to be back!

This was a family Christmas celebration stay. VERY spacious living area, diining and kitchen. One large master bath and room. Two bedrooms were small for efficient. Was a very fun stay with the airplanes on the bottom floor below the living area. It sits in the middle of a large hanger area, not appealing from the outside, but fabulous on the inside.

Awesome stay

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** We had an absolutely incredible stay at the airplane hangar listed! From the moment we arrived, our hosts were extraordinarily amiable and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The unique setting of the hangar was a huge hit with everyone in our group, regardless of age. There was so much to do and explore—plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained and engaged. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It's evident that the hosts take great pride in maintaining a spotless environment. We can't wait to come back and experience this unique gem again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and fun getaway!

Perfect Family/Friend Getaway!

This place was way cool..!! Very clean. Huge spaces... and plenty to keep us entertained. We loved our stay. Aside from being excited to be in an active airplane hanger, the house was equipped with many game and entertaining options. Beds were comfortable and every part of the space was very clean. Wouldn't mind staying here again on our next trip to Ft. Worth.
