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

Welcome to The Aviator — a loft perched above an active airplane hangar. Perfect for aviation fans or anyone seeking a unique stay, this 3,900 sq. ft. private residence offers space, comfort, and a front-row seat to flight. Watch aircraft, walk to dining, or even book a discovery flight.

✔ 5 spacious bedrooms
✔ Open-concept living & dining (seating for 14)
✔ Pool table, foosball, air hockey & ping pong
✔ Balcony overlooking aircraft below
✔ Aviation-themed stay unlike anything else

This isn’t just a vacation rental — it’s an experience.

Perched above a fully operational airplane hangar at a busy airport, this private loft offers a rare opportunity to stay where aviation happens. From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the thoughtful design: wide open spaces, quiet corners for rest, and views that remind you you’re part of something truly unique.

By day, watch aircraft come and go from your balcony or through oversized windows, all while enjoying the peace of a noise-insulated retreat. By night, settle into a home built for connection — whether that means sharing a meal around the large dining table, challenging friends to a game of pool or foosball, or simply relaxing in one of the five comfortable bedrooms.

And through it all, one thing remains constant: the entire upstairs residence is yours exclusively.

We had an amazing time staying at the hangar. It was centrally located for all of our planned activities in Dallas/Fort Worth/Weatherford. We stayed with a big family group and there was plenty of room for everyone. Lots of bathrooms, a big kitchen, and the pool table, ping pong, and air hockey tables were a hit. Everyone loved it from the adults to the little kids. We would definitely stay in this unique rental again!

Awesome Cousin Camp!!!

We enjoyed our time at this amazing hangar so much! We chose it to the be the destination for this year's cousin camp we have with our 6 oldest grandkids every year. The accommodations are absolutely perfect for a large group, with lots of bedrooms, bathrooms and gathering spaces! Our kiddos (ages 5-14) had the best time running around this enormous place and we all enjoyed the many games and fun things to do inside and out! The elevator was a huge help as well with carting all our stuff upstairs! Ray is a wonderful host and even took time out of his vacation to answer our questions. We really appreciated that and that this place was so clean and had everything we needed to have an amazing cousin camp! This area is a short drive to many fun adventures in the Fort Worth area, so whether you're just staying in or want to roam, there's always something to do! Highly recommend if you want large, comfortable, and unique lodgings!
Perfect place for our camp sign
Nice big kitchen table for meals, games, and crafts!
This bar area was their '50's soda shoppe where they made us some tasty floats with Bluebell and Olipop! There is no end to the imaginations of children!!
The older ones loved the Foosball table

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.

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** 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!
