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.

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.

The place was nice and comfortable. Downhill walk on grass was challenging when wet. Sometimes there was too much noise from the owners living above, including at 11:30 at night when it sounded like a running wash machine and dryer right above our bed. The road leading to this place is not the best.

The view is amazing and the house was nice and warm. Communication with the host was wonderful and they were quick to respond to any questions we had. The only downside was you could hear them above you but thankfully it didn't keep us awake. All and all it was a wonderful trip and they were great hosts. We didn't get to see any Moose as I write this but I'm hoping that we'll see some on the way out.

Overall we enjoyed our stay but it is a very bumpy road with lots of pot holes to get to it. The website pictures are accurate. There is no stove. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was well stocked. You are in the lower unit with the owners upstairs. It was loud in the mornings and evenings having them upstairs. Beautiful views from the lower unit but there is a picture of the view from the upper deck on the website description. There was a lot of frozen food in the freezer which limited space.

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.

Great views

We stayed for a couple of nights and saw a moose on our drive there. It’s about a 30-minute drive from Anchorage airport, but without the noise and hustle. The last mile up to the cabin is a bit rough. Our host, Gary, was very pleasant and accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

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.

Cabin with Moose

Cabin was a great place to stay centered in our day travel destinations. Gary and Laura we great host. The puppies were fun and we had our last night at dusk a mama Moose and baby Calf at our deck. Highly recommend this Vrbo stay with great views.
