About this property

Mink Creek Air BnB 3br Apartment - Alaska Living 20 minutes from Anchorage

The one good thing about Anchorage is you only have to drive 15 minutes to visit Alaska. Our property is in Alaska. We are not in a large city but in a rural area near Anchorage. It is a quite safe and private area 4 acre property with wonderful neighbors and numerous Alaskan adventures close by.
We have friends and neighbors who are dog mushers and several of them have raced in the Iditarod dog sled race. There are seven public lakes within 5 miles of our home, dog mushing trails, fishing, hiking, and canoeing opportunities close by. We will gladly point you in the right direction for fishing opportunities or even lend you one of our canoes. We love Alaska and the spectacular views and opportunities it offers.
We are within an hour’s drive to several glaciers, old gold mines, historic Alaska sites and numerous other adventures within minutes of our door. It’s a short 20 minute drive from our house to downtown Anchorage and we are within 30 minutes of the Anchorage International Airport.

Amazing quick stay

This property was easy to arrive at, host was helpful and fun to chat with. When we needed tools to take something apart Jeff helped us out with tools and humor. Property was nicely done and offered us a great place to go exploring from. Any future trips will include this rental everytime.

Graduation Visit

We traveled from Idaho to attend our granddaughter's graduation from nearby Chugiak High School. The accommodations had plenty of room, a full kitchen, and were well-located to events both north (Eklutna and Palmer) and south (Anchorage). The hosts were always available to answer questions or see to needs. A fine trip!

Fantastic

Clean, well-thought out, everything you needed and more than I expected. It’s the entire first floor of a beautiful, woodsy 2-story - it’s legit. 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath with w/d, full kitchen, room to sprawl. Convenient between Anchorage and Palmer.. we would stay again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic place is a quiet comfortable neighborhood.

The place was very easy to find, 3 bedrooms, super well furnished. Our communication with the host was amazing; he was super friendly, helpful, and accomodating. The beds were comfortable and the area was quiet. The host allowed us to borrow his Kayaks even after we had checked out.

Got our needs perfectly.

Traveled from Florida to Alaska to visit our daughter. We choose to stay in this home which is 5 minutes from her because of the jet lag and we knew we’d have different sleep schedules than her. We used one bedroom and slept perfectly. We made coffee and watched tv in the mornings in comfort and we were very thankful the home was warm and comfortable. We never cooked there but we could have. Showers were hot and we loved that we could wash our clothes and return home without dirty laundry. If you’re looking for fancy 5 star, probably not for you. If you’re looking for rustic, peaceful and comfortable, book here. We will be staying again.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff

Host profile image
I am a retired I/T Professional with a personality & my wife Patty is a Physical Therapist. I've lived in Alaska for 39 years and love the outdoors and in particular being on the ocean. We have 3 grown kids and are blessed with 1 Grandson who visits us regularly. We travel frequently and my wife and kids are bilingual. (I am monolingual). My wife is someone everyone seems to love and I've been described as an acquired taste. Fortunately it usually takes a short time to acquire that taste. Jeff

Why they chose this property

It seems like everyone who visits comments of the view and the huge yard everyone is free to use. We have seen Moose, Bears, Lynx and assorted other wild life roaming in our yard. There are many places near by to hike and explore. We are glad to share our experiences with people and to also leave them alone if they wish to explore Alaska.

What makes this property unique

We've been known to fix people up with bicycles, canoes, binoculars and even fishing poles as well as advice on places to see and things to do. Alaska is our home and has been for decades.
