Your large, well-appointed, studio apartment, built in 2002 boasts a great view of the channel and Douglas Island! It's situated alongside Kelli Creek in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Twin Lakes, trails, and a hospital/medical center. You have a washer and dryer in the unit. This is an apartment attached to a home with a private entrance. Enjoy its gorgeous terraced garden along Kelli Creek. Relax in your private space with a spacious 3/4 bathroom, and full kitchen with oven/range, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, toaster, and coffee pot. It has a king-sized bed, cute window seat, workspace, dining area, casual seating, and a smart TV, so you can stream your favorite shows.

Your rental is a ground-floor studio apartment, attached to a house. The living areas of the house are above the apartment and noise can easily be heard from downstairs. The family in the house has a dog, which barks occasionally. If noise is a problem you can notify us and we can ask them to quiet down. They are very nice and have always been super responsive.
If you like the outdoors, you'll love the trails and fishing spots that you can easily walk to. The location is very convenient. It's centrally located between the two main activity centers for Juneau. It's 3 miles from downtown, 5.5 miles from the airport, and 12 miles from the Mendenhall Glacier. There are lots of trails within close walking distance. The hospital has a cafeteria - very reasonably priced. There is a coffee shop on the corner and a small restaurant in the training center on Salmon Creek Lane just a 10-minute walk away. There are two miles of paved, pretty flat, trail along Twin Lakes. You can easily walk to the Hatchery which is a super cool, not very expensive, attraction for visitors and you can fish there for free if you have the equipment. Blackerbee Trailhead is just steps away for the advanced hiker and Salmon Creek Trailhead is a 15-minute walk for the intermediate-level hiker. You can also walk to the famous Gold Creek Salmon Bake in 10 minutes. The salmon bake is an all-you-can-eat, upscale Alaska picnic situated in a rainforest setting along Salmon Creek with a short stroll to beautiful Salmon Creek Falls and the entrance to the Old Wagner Mine. You can roast marshmallows over a campfire or have a beer or a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the creek. They have live music and a delicious meal featuring wild Alaska salmon grilled over an open alder wood flame. This salmon bake is included in the discounted tour offerings.
This comfortable place is on the bus route with the stop just at the bottom of the street at the beautiful Twin Lakes park - a great place to recreate. It's a 10-minute walk to the hospital and medical facilities, and it's three miles to downtown Juneau, 5.5 miles to the airport, and 12 miles to the Mendenhall Glacier. If you're in Juneau to stock up on goods, Costco is just 2.5 miles away.
You'll park in a pull-out on the street. The parking in the upper lot is reserved for the house residents. If you have mobility issues this might not be the best fit if you can't get dropped off at the top of the driveway.
It's self check-in so late arrival is not a problem. You'll be given the lock box code a few days prior to your arrival. Make sure you have this in advance before arriving on the property.
Check-in is at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am. We will offer you early check-in and late check-out options, if it's available, a couple of days before your arrival/departure for a fee of $50.
