Pristine Private Kenai River Front Property With An Eagle's Nest 360 Degree View

This newer comfortable one bedroom vacation rental has one of the best views of the famous Kenai River. From the tall balcony deck you will see for miles and miles of natural beauty! Here on this pristine property, you will have private fishing right from the Kenai River bank just steps away. The new daylight platform decks will make ease of your fishing and viewing of the river. With your stay here you will feel like you are in the wilds of Alaska and yet be totally relaxed with all the beauty around the property. This private 145 feet of Kenai River frontage is for you to use as you may. There are a couple of fire pits, plenty of picnic tables and benches to use as well as all that elbow room to move about the river bank. Your own fish cleaning table is there to use for the catch of day and a large freezer to store it for your trip back home.

The "Eagle's Nest" is centrally located to conveniently help get you any where on the Kenai Peninsula in minutes. All the small town conveniences such as restaurants, groceries and more, are just around the corner here in Sterling. Just a short 11 miles from Sterling is the larger town of Soldotna, where the crowded tourism is more centrally located. From the "Eagle's Nest", you can be in Seward in less than 90 minutes for a fishing charter or a tour of the city. And only another 110 minutes in the opposite direction be in Homer for some Alaskan fun. The "Eagle's Nest" is a great base accommodation for all your Kenai Peninsula activities planed for your adventurous Alaskan vacation. From halibut, trout, and salmon fishing to white water rafting to bird watching and hiking, or a gentle scenic drift boat ride down the Kenai or Kasilof rivers. Guided or not, this will be a fantastic place to stay, play and relax. Fly into a bear active area with a guided tour and be back that evening. There is so much to do here on the Kenai Peninsula, you will enjoy being right in the middle of it all. And yet, have the privacy of a large quiet space to enjoy nature right at your door step.

Inside the newer Eagle's Nest all new appliances, furniture, and bedding. You will be able to enjoy a big flat screen satellite TV, WI-FI and/or wireless internet to stay in touch. There is a wonderful kitchen to cook your fresh catch and use at times when you would rather just stay in to enjoy the comforts of home cooking. All the basics will be in those cabinets for your use. There are beds for up to 5 people and a maximum of 6 people. The one bed room has a King bed and a set of bunk twin beds. The long couch in the living area has a hide away bed with a very comfy modern queen size memory foam mattress in it. There will be a roll out bed available if necessary too. There is a washer and dryer to use at your convenience in the extra large bathroom. A two headed shower to enjoy after a hard day of fun. The deck has the view that eagles love. You can see forever. The barbecue is there to use and a table to enjoy the fresh air and food & drink. You will be totally amazed about this view space. And of course the inside table has a 8 foot front window to see out of if the weather is not the best.


WE ALSO HAVE OUR WOLF DEN CABIN/BUNK HOUSE JUST STEPS AWAY TO ACCOMMODATE A LARGE FAMILY OR PARTY. These sleeping quarters come with a beautiful Kenai River view which will sleep 2 or 3 additional guests. This Wolf Den will not be available without the use of the Eagles Nest and a one time additional cleaning fee. This is because because the Wolf Den is a dry cabin without a bath or sink. It is warm, comfortable, and newly remodeled with a knotty pine interior and captain twin beds. It also has its own fridge and microwave and table and chairs for games and snacking. WI-FI, TV, AND INTERNET will be available.

The "Wolf Den" also has its own front porch and fire pit. There could be a roll out twin size bed added if necessary to use. So this cabin is able to sleep up to 3 people. There is no water plumbed into this accommodation as it is a "dry" cabin. This "Wolf Den" is not available for renting unless the "Eagles Nest", "Moose Cabin", or our other "Bears Den" accommodation is part of your party. There is a microwave oven, small refrigerator, table and chairs for 4 for snacking and playing games. Great place for those whom like it a little more private and quite. There is a nice warm electric fireplace to enjoy. Also a flat screen TV, WI-FI and/or wireless internet. This is very comfortable and warm, newly remodeled with beautiful knotty pine interior walls.

The "Eagles Nest "is just one of our 4 lodging accommodations. We also have the 1 bed/1 bath "Bears Den" apartment on VRBO with a listing (#704413) in case you are interested in our property availability. Our Moose Cabin is brand new in 2023. It has 2 bed/2 bath with a deck overlooking the Kenai River VRBO listing (#3288577). And we have the Klondike House which is a 3 bedroom ranch style home with the VRBO listing (#1801842). This may be of value in case you have a very large group or party and want the whole property to use. Or maybe if you have some calendar issues.

Awesome week at the Eagles Nest
Our group of fishing buddies has stayed in the Eagles Nest many times over the past several years and we've never been disappointed. Ron and Katia are wonderful hosts who do everything possible to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the view from the deck is fantastic. The property is located right on the Kenai River with easy access to the water. The topper is the enclosed gazebo with lots of seating and the best fire pit anywhere! Highly recommend!

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely property! Ron was very accommodating. The property was very nice and clean. Katya thought of every detail for the property. We enjoyed fishing off the back dock, roasting s’mores in more than one fire pit, and had very comfy, restful sleep in the well appointed bedroom!

Ron, I want to thank you for a great experience! Your hospitality and the extra “little things” made our visit wonderful. Your place on Kenai River is beautiful. Easy access to local supplies and fishing locations gave us more time on the water to enjoy beautiful Alaska. We’ll definitely be back!

Everything "Amazing" from the host and furnishings to the Little Piece Of Heaven on the shore of the Kenai River. Very quite and peaceful.

Eagle Eye Vacations a slice of heaven
We stayed in the eagles nest the property is immaculate. Ron and Katya were the best hosts we have ever experienced in all our vacation rental stays. It was like going to a full service lodge. The pavilion is unreal and a great place for all the fishermen to tell their stories of the days events. Fishing on the kenai was unreal caught our limits in 2 hours both days we fished. Ron hooked us up with an excellent guide Sean Smart. Property is right on the river if you want an experience of a lifetime don’t hesitate booking this property. Fish on!

Tranquillity
Having a bit of experience on the Kenai river I was amazed at how tranquil this property was. You could see and hear nature at its finest. The property was immaculate with every thing you needed to make your stay complete readily available. If you didn’t have all you needed it was just a short run to Sterling, Soldotna, and Kenai. The hosts went above and beyond to insure your wants and needs were attainable and that your stay was complete. Ron and Katya are very knowledgeable of the area and readily share the information in hopes to insure your adventure was complete. They were also great at scheduling any excursions with local guiding services. We were schedule for a fly in trip for remote fishing and bear viewing. When Mother Nature kept us from our trip, Ron as well as the folks at Talon Air did all they could to reschedule in the time we had available. My suggestion when planning such excursions would be to schedule early in your stay as they will do all they can to get you out in the time you have allotted. Thanks Ron and Katya for a wonderful time.

Exceeded our Expectations!
My wife, 18 and 16 year olds sons and myself stayed in the Eagle's Nest at Ron and Katya's place. We had an amazing time! We all commented on how this was the cleanest, most comfortable VRBO that we have ever stayed at. There are many great things to list, here are a few: Ron gave us the space and guidance that was needed, he helped us out with fishing gear and fishing spots, he helped us with getting our fish processed and frozen, he helped us book all of our day trips and adventures, he helped us out with places to eat and places to explore. We can't think of anything else that Ron and Katya could have done to make our Alaska experience more enjoyable. They went way above and beyond with the help and services that they provided. They both have huge hearts and are very kind. We have already booked again for next year.

Excellent in every way!
We were thrilled! Beautiful location, impeccable grounds and the attention to detail in the accommodations deserves more that 5 stars. Comfortable beds and pillows, very clean from top to bottom. Kitchen had everything we needed so we were able to pick up the basic groceries for our week long stay. We are new to fishing, Ron organized 2 days of guided fishing trips, one day on the Kenai River and one day on Kasilof River. Our guides were the best! Professional and superb instructors. We had a successful exciting fishing trip. On the off days were able to tour the surrounding areas. Ron is knowledgeable of Alaska and helped guide us where to go. There is a wonderful enclosed pavilion we also enjoyed. Complete with a fire pit, tables and music. And again our hosts made sure we wanted for nothing! Thank you so much! We'll be back!

Alaskan Dream Vacation
Thanks to Ron and Katya for sharing their amazing home with us and for making our Alaskan dream vacation a reality. They are the most friendly and helpful owners we have ever rented from. I talked to Ron several times on the phone prior to our trip to get advice on all things Alaska. He arranged a fishing trip and float trip for us. When we arrived at the Eagle's Eye apartment we couldn't believe how pristine and comfortable everything was. The apartment over the garage is like brand new and had everything we could possibly need including a washer/dryer and the most comfortable beds of our entire vacation. The first night we saw bald eagles flying over while relaxing on the apartment deck. We fished right from the bank in the beautiful blue-green Keni river and enjoyed s'mores cooked in the fire pit by the water. Ron even loaned us some fishing poles, taught us how to fish and told us the best place to go to get in the action. The location is peaceful and quiet. It is centrally located with easy day trip access to all kinds of adventures. If we make it back to Alaska we will be staying here again. Thanks again Ron and Katya

Amazing find in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula!
Ron and Katya have built an amazing spot in Sterling on the banks of the Kenai River. The Eagles Nest was beautifully appointed and looked like it was finished just before we got there, but indeed was not - it's just maintained that way! There are a couple flights of stairs to get up, but they are wide, well lit and covered in an amazingly soft carpet. The sitting area/living room/full kitchen was very comfortable and great to have available to us during our three nights there this past September - very useful to keep our drinks and lunches ready to go in the morning for our days fishing the river. The bedroom was well appointed and comfortable, and the bathroom was huge, with a nice sink/vanity, full shower with two different heads, and a washer and dryer that came in very handy during our two plus week stay in Alaska. Ron checked in with us the day were arriving to make sure all was good, was available during our stay, and even checked with us to ensure a clothing item he found wasn't ours. Just 15 minutes from Soldotna, it was perfectly placed for our three days fishing three different sections of the Kenai, and would be a wonderful base of operations anytime of year. With handmade wood products through out, Ron and Katya and have truly built a warm and cozy home away for home for whatever brings your to the Kenai Peninsula!!!

Trip of a lifetime!
I've thought about how to put this place in words, and I don't think I can do it justice! Ron and Katya were awesome and the whole grounds are amazing. Ron has thought out every detail of this place. I joked with him all week I was going to figure out something he needed but I never came up with it! There are so many little extras around this place that you don't think of. From spices and condiments in the kitchen, to a washer and dryer and detergent in the cabins. The outfitter closet was a great addition as well. Stocked with fishing gear, nets, waders, and hip boots. All things you didn't have to purchase or rent since they were already there. Several docks to fish, and a grill at every cabin to cook your catch! The fire pit room is one of the coolest things about the place. You lose track of time in there in the evenings before you know it! We haven't been home a week and I'm already trying to figure out how to get back! Most amazing trip ever! Todd

Life Changing
That is what my son stated when we returned to Michigan. The reviews are correct in that Ron and Katya think of everything and Ron was tremendous in helping us book all of our fishing trips. We had an incredible time and would not hesitate to stay at Eagles Nest again. The accommodations were immaculate and extremely comfortable and affordable. The location is private and quiet but close enough to get around easily to the numerous opportunities that present themselves on the Kenai Peninsula. I highly recommend that you book with Eagles Eye!

What an incredible property! Everything you need is provided for you. The furnishings are top notch. Ron and Katya were incredible hosts. They were there to help with anything we needed.
