We had a good stay and enjoyed the property with the exception of pet urine smells in one of the bedrooms (smaller of the two bedrooms that I stayed in). Other than that things were good.

Had breakfast items in the fridge for us was very nice as we got in late. Took out the kayak and paddle board in the bay was fun. Lots of great restaurants within a few minutes. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful.

5yr old summed it up perfectly: "Let's stay here every time we go to Bainbridge!" Lovely, clean, and quiet cottage a short walk to Winslow. Couldn't go wrong staying here.

We had such a wonderful time staying at the cottage. The hosts could NOT have been more welcoming, kind, and lovely. I grew up on Bainbridge and was looking for a place in town where I could stay with my family, walk into Winslow and be close to the water. The cottage could not have been more perfect. We walked to coffee every morning, slept soundly and comfortably at night and had everything we needed in the cottage and around us. I am hoping to visit again soon and will always plan to stay at the cottage if it's available. Thank you to the Gerlach's for an amazing stay!

Close to downtown on a quiet street. A little bigger than I expected. Kitchen is more than adequate and there is a nice private patio

Check in process was easy. The property had one parking spot and is close to walk or ride a bike into town. The owners Suzi and Marcus live on the property behind the house and we’re very welcoming. They checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and gave some local tips. They had great hospitality! They surprised us with some breakfast items to get our trip going. The bed was comfy, had the cleanest outdoor grill at any rental property we’ve ever rented from, and the house had a couple box fans to keep us cool at night. We spent most of our time on the outdoor patio relaxing or exploring the island. We could also access the harbor with our paddle boards from the owner’s property. We had so much fun seeing the wildlife from the water. If you come with children the house has toys, games and children movies.

Eagle’s Nest is wonderful. It had a comfortable, homely feel, better than any hotel. The friendly owners had thoughtfully provided a range of lovely treats for our first breakfast. It was a delight to sit outside in the garden but sheltered from direct sun. An easy walk to local restaurants, waterside and centre of Winslow. We loved it. Many Thanks. Brenda

We were delighted in every way by Eagle's Nest Cottage. It was conveniently located and well appointed. Both beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had a good assortment of cooking gear, and having 1 1/2 baths made it easy to have a guest stay for a night. The hosts were very friendly and easy to communicate with and made us feel welcome throughout our entire stay. We also enjoyed walking down to their beach area and in warmer weather would certainly have taken out the kayaks. We give it our highest recommendation.

The best sort of compliment, we look forward to our return!

Cute house, near the water, super convenient!

Big space near downtown shops and water front
We stayed for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed the unit. Its a separate, 2 bedroom cottage down a quiet cul-de-sac. The kitchen is well stocked with excellent equipment. Study pots and pans and sharp knives. That may be a strange thing to point out, but so many rental units are equipped with the lowest quality kitchen gear. Not here. Its a short walk to downtown and all the shops, and restaurants.
We were offered the use of their kayaks, but it being January and we are from warmer climes, we declined. But very thoughtful.
A couple finds to shout out about: Ba Sa Restaurant (walking distance), Pegasus Coffee (even closer), and Via Rosa 11.
Don't hesitate to booked this cottage, and enjoy exploring Bainbridge Island.

Perfect Location, Friendly & Helpful Hosts!
We stayed here for a couple of nights before taking a cruise out of Seattle and LOVED IT. Bainbridge Island is beautiful and full of parks with short hikes. The little town of Winslow is only a short walk from the house and was fun to explore. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
Overall, it really was perfect.

Perfect landing at The Eagle’s Nest!
From the initial booking to leaving this morning, The Eagle’s Nest, Suzi and Marcus made our trip to Bainbridge Island wonderful! Corresponding with Suzi was easy and always prompt prior to arrival. Arrival and checkin was smooth with the key waiting for us. Suzi and Marcus took time out of their evening with friends to show us around the place and where to find the kayaks, paddles and life jackets. The breakfast treats were very appreciated the next morning as we had arrived later than expected. So many thoughtful and useful details throughout the house. We also loved being able to take the kayaks out on the harbor. A short paddle was rewarded with the beautiful Seattle skyline. The following day’s paddle we saw two seals and many different species of birds. The location could not be beat! We were able to walk into town for dinner, shopping and to get groceries at the market (about a 1/2 mile away). It was also a great location for touring the island as well.
We look forward to returning to The Eagle’s Nest!

Joyful, lovely, beautiful stay
We made so many happy memories here. I am daydreaming about our next visit.
The accommodations were outstanding. First, the location is awesome, especially if you want to take a short walk to town or the ferry terminal. Plus, you have a wonderful fire pit that allows you to take in the beauty of the water and beach.
It is very obvious that our hosts, Suzi and Marcus, put much care, thought, and attention to detail in every aspect.
The level of cleanliness was stellar. I can’t stress that enough. In addition to that, the kitchen had everything you might need to create a culinary masterpiece or late night snack.
We were so comfortable. Beds, pillows, linens, towels...all of it was wonderful. We are still talking about how well we slept while we were there!
Lastly, and most importantly, our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay special.
Suzi and Marcus were so kind, so thoughtful, and I am grateful. I had very casually mentioned that we were celebrating our son’s 12th birthday during our trip, and we arrived to find birthday balloons, all the makings for s’mores, and a brand new board game. I was moved beyond words by this thoughtful gesture.
Our stay was magical thanks to Suzi and Marcus. Countless happy memories were made, and at the center of it all was the Eagle’s Nest.
Bottom line is this: If you are debating whether to book or not to book a reservation, DO IT! You will not regret it. I am already daydreaming about my next stay!

Home away from home
I have just the most gorgeous stay at Marcus and Suzi's cottage in Bainbridge. It felt like a little escape on the island. The place was cosy -- I loved the fire and how equipped the kitchen is. It was wonderful being a short walk from town to the shops and having the kayaks to go out on the water. Marcus and Suzi could not be better hosts -- they're kind, welcoming, and there for anything you need. Will be back again! Thanks

Perfect location
We visit Bainbridge Island once a year and this was a perfect location for our stay, close to everything in town and beautiful access to the water. Suzi and Marcus were the perfect hosts. We will be back.

Relaxing stay. Very cozy house.
We had everything we needed and much more. The owners are thoughtful and caring people. The house was perfect, but kind people are even harder to find. There are tremendous hiking trails in every direction and a sweet disc golf course close by. We had to cancel our Maui trip due to Covid and came here instead. We will be returning to Bainbridge next year as our first choice. The solitude and beauty cannot be matched. Would stay at this property again in a heartbeat.

Location!!!
Friendly, helpful hosts, convenient for walking to restaurants and grocery store location close to Winslow, kayaks, canoe, and paddle boards for exploring Eagle Harbor - life jackets and help from hosts in launching made it easy. An exciting basket with lots of toys for 5-year old, games and books for grownups.

Great location
This unit is very convenient to the main downtown area of Bainbridge, and even closer to a very cute pub called the Harbour Public House. The cottage is very clean, and the kitchen has fantastic cooking utensils and most every spice/oil/etc. you would need to cook a good meal. The owners were kind enough to leave us ground coffee, fresh cream, butter, danishes and fresh fruit, and even fresh eggs from their hens! The pellet stove is fun to learn to use, and the bed was comfortable. While there is no view of the water from the cottage, the owners were very accommodating about us using their waterfront, and offered to get a fire started for us in their fire pit whenever we wanted to use it. We didn't have a chance to take them up on this, but really appreciated the gesture.

This was my 3rd stay at Eagles Nest. The property owners are kind and friendly. I love the ability to walk to town and the use of the canoe and kayaks. The kitchen is well stocked with breakfast foods and delicious fudge treats.

Best VRBO property and hosts!
My two college age granddaughters and I spent 4 nights at Marcus and Suzi’s Eagle’s Nest Cottage and it was by far the best VRBO experience I’ve ever had. The cottage exceeded expectations and our host were gracious, accommodating and they were there for any little need we might have had — everything from making us a bonfire on the beach to all of the treats in the kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, it’s extremely well outfitted with all utensils and dishes anyone would need (including martini glasses!). Easy walking distance from everything, and after a crazy day in Seattle it was like coming home for the evening to a quite peaceful oasis. I can’t recommend this property and it’s hosts enough. Thank you both for a memorable vacation. I’ll be back with my husband next time 😂�!

Great space and close to shops.
The hosts are very accommodating. We had a short power outage but they made sure I was warm. They had breakfast items stocked in the kitchen when I arrived. I was able to host Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner at the cottage. They even supplied a tree and decorations for a festive holiday!

A wonderful home and location!
My family and I had a lovely stay at Eagle’s Nest! Suzi and Marcus were so kind and accommodating and the house is so cozy! Our four year old VERY much appreciated the games, toys and DVDs too. The beds were super comfy! So much to love about this place, including its proximity to the ferry and downtown. We are big fans!

Wonderful Stay
Eagle's Nest was a perfect place for our stay. The accommodations were comfortable, the unit was clean and nicely decorated, and the owners went above and beyond to make sure we were set. We arrived on the island late our first evening and it was raining. Being on foot, Suzi checked on us and Marcus came to the ferry terminal to give us a ride to the front door. We arrived to find the place warm and well lit.
We had hoped to take advantage of the kayaks to get out and paddle around, but the tides didn't come in when we had time to get out. I would strongly reccommend a stay here and I intend to be back at some point when we have more time to enjoy the island and the area.
Again, top notch owners and a beautiful place to rest your head.

Wonderful stay on Bainbridge Island
We had a wonderful stay at the Eagle's Nest cottage at Eagle Harbor. The cottage is cute, clean and within easy walking distance of the nearby stores and restaurants.

Great location and cottage. Suzi and Marcus wonderful hosts/owners. Would definitely stay again.
Cottage was cozy, clean and well supplied. We loved our time on Bainbridge. Easy 15-20 minute walk to ferry. Kayaks were perfect to cruise in the bay. Saw seals and a bald eagle. Awesome.

What’s not to love? It has it all !!
What’s not to love? It has it all: location, accommodations, privacy, access to Puget Sound, and wonderful hosts.
The location is incredible; a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the ferry for trips to Seattle, and to shopping and restaurants in quaint downtown Winslow. We enjoyed the water-front access to a beautiful inlet on the Sound kayaking, paddle boarding, and relaxing with a glass of wine.
We appreciated the user-friendly kitchen and grilling on the private patio.
The hosts were truly gracious, warm and welcoming.
We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again.
