About this property

Central ANC Creekside Retreat: Direct Trail Access

Rare to find. Very cozy Alaskan Nordic creek side retreat in the woods. Centrally located in Anchorage with direct access to Campbell Creek and Campbell Creek Trail which is paved and offers access to over 100 miles of trail system throughout Anchorage.

- Professionally cleaned before each stay.

- Professional linen service using commercial hospital-grade sanitizing washers and dryers.

- Private off-street parking

Alaska Nordic | Creek Chalet no.2 is a peaceful and tranquil property located in a serene corner of the forest. It is incredibly vivid in the snowy months and begs one to come outside in the summer months.

The space is styled in Nordic fashion; simple, clean and elegant. 2bd/1ba chalet attached to owners unit. Luxury linens, high quality mattresses and location right on the trail hard to beat. The large South-facing front deck allows for morning sun with coffee and the upper back deck is great to enjoy a drink and watch the creek flow by.

The property has three units: this unit no.2 and also Alaska Nordic Creek Chalet no.1 and no.3. Each has private parking, entry and access to the backyard and trail.

Each unit is private, quiet and a different size so each can accommodate different group sizes.

If lucky, booking all units at the same time would facilitate an incredible home base for a large group or multiple families travelling together.

I am available to resolve issues, provide additional supplies and help with recommendations for your trip.

My wife and I were born and raised in Alaska. We are both explorers and adventurers so have a lot of personal experience in Alaska's outdoors. My wife has worked in the Alaska travel industry for a long time and is an expert with bookings and trip planning.

The property is located in one of Anchorage's first homesteads. As the family grew in generations the original homestead was divided over time into the smaller pieces we currently have. There are multiple descendants of the original homesteaders still living in the neighborhood.

This said, the property is very centrally located in Anchorage:

10 min to the Airport | 3 min to the Seward Hwy | <5 min to multiple restaurants
15 min to Flattop Mountain | 10 min to Downtown | 45 min to Girdwood

There is one off-street parking spot. There is also a city park that abuts the property where larger vehicles or those with trailers could park temporarily.

We have a private access trail to the Campbell Creek Trail and are directly next to a creek access park. The park has a nice small beach that is safe for kids. The Campbell Creek Trail is paved and connects to over 100 miles of city-wide trails for access to endless local adventures. Taku Lake is 1 mile South on the trail and offers a great morning view, fishing and sunshine. Peanut Farm Bar and Arctic Roadrunner Burger Joint are both .75 mile North on the trail and are both classic Alaskan watering holes with tons of historical pictures and a look at Alaska's short past.

Available by Request:

- Pack'n'Play | Dock'a'Tot | Sound Machine | Umbrella Stroller | Bath Toys | Toys | Books | Car Seat

-Two bikes are available once the trail is free of snow and ice after break-up

- IF you would like anything else, please ask, I more than likely can accommodate you.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very well equipped and in a nice location along the Campbell Creek trail. We saw a moose family right along the trail! Very peaceful enjoying coffee each morning on the back deck overlooking the creek. Thanks for a great stay!

Property met our needs. Communication with the owner was outstanding. The location is great with close proximity to anything you need. The neighborhood can be a little sketchy in spots, but we never felt unsafe. The twin beds aren’t the greatest for adults, but would be fine for kids. Overall, we had a very good experience. Would book again.

The unit is cozy in a timber building along famous Campbell Creek with a couple of bicycles to enjoy the bike trail along the adjacent Greenway. Very convenient to various shops and destinations along old and new Seward Highway, and the Airport.

Outstanding in every way

Great location close to everything with an amazing backyard. Just walk out the back door and you’re in the Alaska wilderness with a fire pit, a creak, and access to a miles long trail that runs through anchorage. Dallas is the best. He is the only property manager I’ve ever met in person and I’ve stayed at air b and bs dozens of times. He personally come out to hand deliver free firewood for the fire pit and extra toilet paper. Wish we had stayed longer.

Great Creekside Getaway

Our family enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and updated. The owner was quick to respond to our messages and provide what was needed. There was plenty of space for the four of us. Having new vintage style bikes on the property to enjoy the nearby bike trail was an unexpected treat! We would definitely stay here again.

Extraordinary

Our family is well versed in travel, so we were very impressed with this property. Check-in and checkout were smooth and communication was amazing. Upon arrival the house was super clean and well stocked with coffee, laundry soap , sunscreen, and many amenities. In a beautiful area this home made our first time in Alaska a once in a lifetime experience.

About the host

Hosted by Dallas Sundquist

Host profile image
Alaskan who tries to travel as much as I used to; I have 2 beautiful kids now. I live for the outdoors, adventures of any kind and ALWAYS the sun. I love solitude when it's what I want, but love people, culture and SPICY food. Large cities are always a fun break from Alaska, though I usually crave a beach, river or mountain after a few days in a large urban area.

Thus far I've visited and been a guest in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Cuba, Bahamas, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, India, UAE, UK, Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Croatia, and oh yeah, my neighbor to the East; Canada.

Why they chose this property

It is a gem in the middle of the metro. Not many properties are directly on Campbell Creek. This allows for the serenity a creek in the forest brings. All this while less than 5 minutes from anywhere and everything in Anchorage; hospital, airport, restaurants, bars, groceries, coffee...

What makes this property unique

The property is centrally located in Anchorage, but doesn't feel or look that way. It is located directly on Campbell Creek and has direct access to Campbell Creek Trail, which offers access to 100+ miles of trails system throughout Anchorage. Salmon run up the creek, we have moose, bears and eagles in the yard. Boats float down the creek all summer.
