The property we stayed at was wonderful. It was very clean and had all of the amenities needed while we spent some time in Anchorage. Highly recommend.

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 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.

Gary was a great host. Helped with our luggage. His puppies were a treat.

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 view. Super nice people.

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

Great location very relaxing and quiet loved seeing the moose in the yard.

Our stay here was wonderful and exactly what we had hoped for. A bit of seclusion away from the main streets of Anchorage, the home gives you a fantastic view of the mountain and below - not to mention tons of moose along the roads as you drive in and out of the development. The home had everything we needed for a wonderful 3 nights. We hope to be back one day.

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 🤗

Great view. The noises from the living area on the floor above were a little distracting
5.0
The property was only 20 minutes from the airport which was wonderful as our flight got in late. It was easy to find and the check in was smooth. Rental is on the bottom floor of the house so there is a flight of outdoor stairs you have to go down. There was both a coffee pot and a Keurig for those of us that can’t live without it. The view from the porch was incredible!! Mountains as far as you can see! Perfectly clean and comfortable for out 2 nights in Anchorage.

Perfect for adults
Location is out in the country and perfect for peace and beauty. Property is well maintained but smaller than I expected. There is no place to sit to eat other than the couches but it worked for the four of us. It would be too small for children to stretch their legs but for adults it’s a great place to get a good night’s sleep

Great stay in the Hills!
Such a great location! A little outside of Anchorage in the hills, this spot provides a beautiful view of the inlet. Comfortable beds and extremely friendly, communicative host! We were able to see wildlife right outside our window— our son loved it. He kept looking for moose the rest of the time. Definitely a great stay location!

Awesome neighborhood out of town, more nature than planned
Greeted by a Momma Moose and her calf as we got it, the home owner was really helpful helping to the basement apartment, a bit of bear sign in the area so heads up, authentic Alaskan experience, wonderful view from the decks.

Very nice place
We enjoyed our stay here. A wonderful view. Very quiet neighborhood. Clean facilities. We would stay here again in a heart beat. We even had a mommy and baby moose visit and have a rest in the back yard. How amazing is that?

Mountain view
Had a great time visiting Anchorage AK. The cabin we stayed in was clean and big enough for our family. The mountain view was more than we expected. Easy to get too. Thank you Gary

Great launching point to get around Anchorage and Seward highway
Great view, was like having your own apartment. We were able to check in early, and wasn't hard to find. We saw 3 moose in the neighborhood, plenty to see if you take the time.
