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.

The property was beautiful. Jeff was a great host! Showed us around, had great suggestions and very responsive. The property is 20 min outside of Anchorage, as described, and a Very easy commute to every where.

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.
