Nice place.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
