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.

Beautiful views but not peaceful
The views were spectacular and the location was great, but noise from upstairs was disrupting and we had to carefully watch where we stepped because the dogs had not been cleaned up after. However, when we couldn’t find a wine bottle opener our host was able to procure one quickly.

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.

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.

Great, private property! Gary was very accommodating when our plans needed to change. Offered support and recommendations for nearby shopping and dining. Wildlife galore, which is what we love about Alaska! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, picturesque, spot to stay!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful Spot!
We visited Alaska for one week and rented the apartment for the entire time.. super easy check in after arriving quite late at night. The apartment was perfect for myself and my 17 year old nephew. It is well equipped with all you need for a comfortable stay. You can hear people upstairs at times but the hosts are incredibly conscientious… you cannot beat the view.. and the apartment feels like home.. thank you Gary

Anchorage area exploration before cruise
Property is located about 15-20 mins from ANC on mostly paved roads. The location & view are worth the final drive up the mountains to very scenic home & great homeowners (& their 2 dogs-has Daisy had her pups?💕). Easy drive to all surrounding towns & nice to be outside ANC, yet close enough if you want to shop, grab dinner, or get to airport 🤗
