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.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Kutil

I am a Life long Alaskan. My family Homesteaded 160 acres in the Mat-Su Valley in 1959 where my father built a log cabin. In those days we lived a Subsistence Lifestyle and lived off the land by gardening, hunting and fishing. Today we use the cabin recreationally, but it still has no running water or plumbing. The Outhouse however has a historic quality about it being nearly 60 years old. :)
I developed a passion for Alaska's hunting and fishing starting at age 6 and continuing to today.
I am a husband of 1, a father of 2, and a Grandfather of 8, all living in Anchorage. :)

Why they chose this property

I grew up in a Log Cabin and always had an itch to build one so in 1999 I built the Eagles Nest. It took 10 months and I remember some cold days of building thru the middle of the winter and the Snowy Owls that would sit in a tree and hoot at me while I was working and a big Bull Moose that charged at me and broke the log railing on the front porch.
