I'll start by saying that the hosts are the nicest people and they went above and beyond for us. The property is clean and easy to access. It was well stocked with towels and extra linens. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. The view is spectacular. This will be our home away from home when we visit Spokane.

Second stay in this house, everything was as wonderdul as it was last time. Beautiful location, great hosts and its ironic that it is called the eagles nest because we have seen an eagle everytime we stay there. I spend every morning sipping my coffee watching the sunrise by the river, and we will always stay here when we come to Spokane.

What a wonderful property and fantastic hosts. We were in town to visit family, and the location is perfect to easily get downtown for out to the Valley.The unit is well equipped and cozy. We had everything we needed and more. It was spotlessly clean, and you can’t beat the river view.In short, this stay was one of the best we’ve had. The hosts went above and beyond and the unit was a cozy river retreat!

This has been our favorite VRBO stay to date! The property is clean, comfortable, and situated right on the beautiful Spokane River. We had our coffee on the dock, kayaked in the river, saw eagles, a beaver, geese, and more. Carolyn and Doug were so friendly and helpful-- we couldn't have hoped for better hosts.We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Hendrikson

Host profile image
Born and raised in Spokane. This home was built by aunt and uncle. It was one of the first homes on the river. After they passed, I was able to buy the home from the estate and have tried to love on it ever since.

What makes this property unique

We love this home because we feel like it is our little hidden mecca - so close to everything, yet, once you are here, you feel as though you have gone to some remote area with all the wildlife around, and the beautiful scenery. In the summer months, one can enjoy all the water has to offer- swimming, kayaking, fishing, or just sitting on the dock!
