Wonderful!

We chose this property to serve as the base for our elopement and it was absolutely perfect. The home was clean and well-appointed and served as a gorgeous backdrop for photos both before and after the ceremony. We were even able to have a helicopter pick us up and drop us off at the property. Tonja, the owner, was very responsive and easy to work with throughout. Highly recommend and would absolutely book this property again!

The Amazing Eagles Perch

My wife and I travel quite a bit and “Eagles Perch” is definitely in the top three of the best places we’ve ever stayed…..ANYWHERE!! The owners (Tonja and her husband) are amazing and will do anything they can do to make your stay a very memorable experience. Put this place on your bucket list.

Perfect!

The house was absolutely perfect! Snow covered mountains from every window. Bathroom and kitchen were very nicely appointed. Comfortable beds. Everything you need. Hosts were spectacular, offering some wonderful suggestions for sightseeing. We were even picked up by a helicopter for a glacier walk right from the house. Amazing!! Can't recommend enough.

About the host

Hosted by Tonja Hammer

Alaska born & raised! My husband and I have been together for 32 years and we’ve raised 3 fine kids in this great state!

Why they chose this property

This property is located adjacent to our home. We found the lot that our home sits on and knew we must have it and so when the lot next door became available we purchased it with the intent to build a luxury short term rental on it.
The views are incredible and the location is ideal. We are situated in the heart of the valley just 45 minutes north of Anchorage International Airport. We are 15 minutes to popular Hatcher Pass Recreation area and directly in between Palmer and Wasilla.

What makes this property unique

Built with comfort and ease in mind, this property will certainly wow you! Perfect for the newly wed, executive, or couples retreat, this new constructed suite is one of a kind!
You will find high-end finishes in every room you enter such as a deluxe floor-to-ceiling fireplace, massive vaulted cedar ceiling with awesome beams, custom fine furnishings, and a luxurious bathroom built for two, to name a few.
We also have a large tree at the corner of the building that the eagles like to come perch in on occasion, and they are so fun to watch and listen to!
