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.

    Our group of 4 fishermen had a fantastic week long stay in the Eagles Nest. Our group returns year after year because Ron and Katia are fantastic hosts who make sure we have everything we need and treat us as treasured guests. The property is beautiful and right on the river with fantastic views. Beds are comfy and the kitchen is well stocked. Best of all is the fabulous gazebo with the best fire pit in Alaska! Highly recommended.

    We stayed in the eagles nest. Has a great view of the Kenai River. This was our 3rd year in a row going in late July to catch the sockeye run! The property is a slice of heaven on earth. Ron the owner set us up with a trip for halibut out of Homer with D@G charter captain Gavin. As well as 2 guided days on the Kenai for sockeye with Sean Smart. We were fishing legends after those trips. All our fish were processed at Jolly Wally’s per Ron’s recommendation they have thicker bags and mark the species of fish so you don’t have to guess! Ron and Kayta are excellent hosts you are paying for a room but what you get is a lodge like experience. Don’t miss going nightly to their pavilion for talks around the fire making new friends and telling fishing lies.

    If you are visiting the Kenai Peninsula, be sure to check out Eagle Eye Vacation Rentals for your stay. The owner, Ron, is an outstanding host. He will bend over backwards to make sure you have everything you need. The cabin was very clean and was nicely furnished. I would highly recommend this property. If we are able to go back to Alaska, we will definitely be giving Ron a call. Top shelf host and accommodations!!!!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!
