About this property

Have an Authentic Log Cabin Alaskan 5 Star experience at "The Eagles Nest"

  • Enjoy a piece of Alaska nostalgia, in this beautiful custom log home we call the "Eagles Nest". , Enjoy a view of Mt. McKinley aka "Denali" (the Great One), the tallest mountain on the North American Continent. During the Summer its not unusual to see Moose in the front yard. Grill your dinner while enjoying a glass of wine and a view of city lights and surrounding mountains. Fall asleep in a super comfortable King size bed and just enjoy the quiet. Separate outside deck and picnic table add to charm of this downstairs apartment in this mountain residence. Both inside and out, The Eagles nest is an ideal retreat. its a 15 min drive to South Anchorage for a unique shopping/dining experience. Or a 2 hour drive to world class fishing on the Kenai River or a 30 min drive to Salmon fishing at Bird Creek. There's Hiking/Biking trails in nearby McHugh Creek, including the crystal clear water of Rabbit Lake in Chugach park, enjoy bird watching at Potter marsh.

We were not happy with the road on the first day (early May). Dirt roads get very muddy in the spring when the ground is thawing. But by the end of the week the road had pretty well dried out and was not too bad. We had a couple minor questions that the host quickly answered. Pictures of the property need updated in the listing. The cozy log cabin now has a two story log garage and apartment very close. The views into the valley toward Turn Again Arm and Anchorage were fabulous. Overall, we were very happy with the accommodations and would recommend it.

Was everything we needed. We stayed 2 nights. It was close enough to stores yet far enough away. We had great views and 2 bull moose on our drive to the cabin. Perfect for what we wanted!

INCREDIBLE

Property just as advertised. View amazing. Every day and night we were just stunned with the view and peacefulness of the location. Saw moose nearby as well, and was so easy to use this location as base to do day trips to Willow, Hatcher Pass and Kenai.

Beautiful view and responsive owner

The view is spectacular and Gary was very friendly and responsive to our needs. We enjoyed our stay here. Most of the time we were there it was very peaceful and quiet. Could hear some noises from the owners upstairs on occasion - the TV and dog sounds (they recently had a new litter of puppies so that is not the norm) but overall very nice stay.

Solitude near a big city

We are from Fairbanks and came down to visit friends at the 1024 Arctic Thunder Air Show. Gary was an excellent host with a comfortable and clean Vrbo. It is in Bear Valley with a beautiful view of Cook Inlet. The view at night was spectacular with beautiful red lights emanating from Anchorage. Quiet and peaceful country neighborhood.

The Eagles Nest is about a 30-minute drive outside of Anchorage so guests need their own car to get there. All was fine and as advertised. Bonus was that the owners also breed dogs (kept very quiet at night). There were 7 adorable puppies romping around the yard while we were there -- very cute. The apartment itself is a bit cluttered and could use a bit more cleaning but was comfortable enough. Property owner seems very nice. I recommend the property.

Gorgeous view and unique!

Loved our stay! Quiet, comfortable, georgeous montainous surroundings, and saw a moose walk through the yard. The apartment is in the lower level of cabin pictured so there is a flight of stairs to reach entrance. There were no laundry facilities. The road to reach the property is at least 1 1/2 miles of gravel and could be very difficult in wet/snowy weather. And was a lengthy 25 mile drive from the Anchorage airport and city center. But well worth the view. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Nice Location with a Good View

In the foothills overlooking Anchorage. Liked the location. Downstairs apartment with quite a few stairs so not good for anyone with problems walking or toting heavy suitcases. Some upstairs noise. Living room and kitchen quite small but we made do as we were gone most of the time. More suited to a couple than three though and not really set up for cooking meals. Two nice size bedrooms. Full size bathroom but could use some updating. Lovely porch with view of city. Nice quiet neighborhood.

This place could not be more perfectly located. It’s south of Anchorage, in the mountains, but within 10-15 minutes of grocery store and restaurants. The owners made an apartment, overlooking the mountains. There’s a back deck with a table and a gas grill, two comfortable bedrooms with room darkening blind (it’s light 19 hours in summer). We enjoyed repeatedly, seeing moose, and one even walked into our backyard the morning that we were leaving. It was clean, and the hosts were very responsive and gracious. Judy’s Cafe is the best breakfast place you will ever find (cash only). The drive south to Whittier was incredible, and we kayaked in the most beautiful scenery you could imagine. We drove north to Palmer, for white water rafting, and ziplining. This was the perfect place to stay for the vacation of a lifetime.

Nice basement apartment below the owner's home. Super comfortable beds. The road getting to it was a dirt road that was extra rough due to recent storms but definitely doable with our small SUV. The area is out of town a bit and so very quiet with a beautiful view. The only down side was the owner's had a lot of stuff in the frig and bathroom. There was a bit of noise upstairs when owners were home but very minimal, not a problem. They have 3 cute dogs, as well.

Not great due to the owners living above. Movement from dogs & people heard until 11:30pm at least. We are early to bed and early to rise people. Water flowing in wall above headboard. Not a peaceful abode. There was no table to sit at inside. The tiniest of living rooms. To be honest we stayed one night and never came back. Oh and when we left there was a woman who opened the door because the tied up little dog was barking loudly - the dog then proceeded to snip at my leg as we walked by, no other course to take. The last communication from the owner was a couple of weeks out sent a message and he failed to reply until we had already checked in for the 1 night. A loss of for sure, but no way could I have stayed there. Lesson learned never rent with people living above you.

Great spot to stay in Anchorage

This is the downstairs apartment of the owner's home and is well stocked and lovely to stay. We felt at home and there is a really great view of the mountains from the porch/living room windows. If you are staying in the Anchorage/Girdwood area, this is the place to stay.
