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.

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 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.

Thank you!

The property was easy to find and was very quiet! From the rental - you do not have a view of the mountains but a few steps outside... it was absolutely beautiful! At this property - there was everything I needed - except for bringing in food and beverages. Jeff offered to drive me around and learn about the area - but I had already a full schedule. Owners were friendly and nice. originally my plans were to stay there longer but do to other tours and such... I was moving north of Anchorage and then south of Anchorage. If I should ever return to this area, this place will be on my list. Thank you to Jeff and family for a great place to stay!

Not a Good Place to Stay

We checked in on time but the property was not ready, the owner said there was some "confusion" and took us on a 1 ½ (sightseeing) drive while his wife cleaned the place. The owner’s dog had to come along, riding in the back seat with my wife (who doesn’t like dogs) and breathing all over her the whole time. After our ‘Sightseeing’ tour was over and back at the property, we were exhausted from our 2,800 mile flight from Portland, OR. We were handed the keys and told by the owner that the water was brackish, too much iron he said and was trying to treat it. He did bring us 2-1 gallon jugs of water for drinking, for 7 days, but we still had to shower, wash dishes and our clothes in the brackish water. Speaking of showering, the shower head was put on wrong and either it sprayed towards the wall or the shower curtain but not on you and as the shower was on it screamed an ear piercing noise the whole time. The house was old to the point of when you cranked open one of the windows the crank device would fall off. On the VRBO write-up it said there was a drip coffee maker so we bought a bag of ground coffee with us. There was a drip coffee maker but not carafe’. There was a Keurig coffee maker but we had no K-Cups. We went to Wal-Mart and bought some reusable K-cups to use. If we wouldn’t stay there again.

This was the perfect spot for our family. Comfortable and has all the amenities. I can’t say enough about what a gracious host Jeff was. He and his furry friends really made our stay the best experience. It felt like a home away from home centrally located between Anchorage and Wassilla where our family lives. My kids asked if when we can visit them again so we will be back for sure!

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.
