Where to Stay
Anchorage has plenty of local Airbnb and VRBO options at pretty reasonable rates, so that's a great option if you'd like more space or a home base for the trip.
Neighborhoods for Airbnb & VRBO
If you're looking at Airbnb or VRBO listings, our recommendation is to focus on South Anchorage and the Hillside (the hills on the east side of Anchorage) — they're quieter, more residential, and give you a bit of that "away from it all" Alaska feel while still being a reasonable drive to everything. Midtown and Downtown listings have been more hit-or-miss for us, so we'd steer you toward South Anchorage or the Hillside first.
If you'd rather book a hotel, here are a few we recommend:

The Lakefront Anchorage
Right on Lake Hood — the world's busiest floatplane base — with Chugach Mountain views and recently renovated rooms just minutes from the airport. A great pick if you want postcard scenery right outside your window.
