Pristine Private Kenai River Front Property With An Eagle's Nest 360 Degree View
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 Journey to the Kenai River: A Tale of Love, Exploration, and Homecoming
As a Montana native and my wife hailing from Donetsk, Ukraine, our journey together over the last 25 years has been a testament to love, adventure, and the pursuit of a dream. Celebrating a quarter of a century of marriage, we've been incredibly fortunate to find and make our home on this prime piece of Kenai River property, embodying the essence of the Alaskan spirit we've grown to cherish deeply.
Our path to this beautiful estate wasn't swift; it was a deliberate quest that spanned over a decade. We searched tirelessly across the Kenai Peninsula for a place that felt like it was truly meant for us—a place where we could envision spending our golden years. This pursuit was driven by more than just the desire for a scenic backdrop; it was about finding a location that resonated with our souls, where the serene beauty of nature and the vibrant wildlife could serve as daily reminders of life's incredible wonders.
Having now called this place home for so many years, we reflect on our decision with no regrets, only gratitude. Our life here, on the brink of retirement, is everything we hoped for and more. The Alaskan lifestyle, with its promise of tranquility, adventure, and the raw beauty of the wilderness, has been more rewarding than we could have ever imagined.
This property isn't just land to us; it's a culmination of dreams, a sanctuary where we've spent nearly a decade of our lives, and a testament to our journey together. Living here, we've embraced the rhythms of the Kenai River, the changing seasons, and the wildlife that shares our space, enriching our lives beyond measure.
As we continue to build our life here, each day is a new chapter in our ongoing adventure in Alaska. Our love for this place and for each other only deepens with time, solidifying our belief that we found the perfect spot to spend our forever in the majestic wilds of the Kenai Peninsula.

Why they chose this property
This property was the early forefathers way to good fishing. This land was used by the Russians in the old days of 1850's Russian Trade. Their wagon trail is still in place on our property and is very interesting history. This was the area of the best fishing in the day. In today's age, we are still in a great fishing spot even with the new technologies used for fishing. The are some rapids just up river from us a short distance away. It is a great spot for fishing as the fish stack up before they go fight their way up through them. We also have one of the best rainbow trout holes right out in front of our place.
What makes this property unique
We have almost 2 acres of prime land to enjoy year round. It was love at first site here with my wife and I. I still remember the day we first set eyes on this property. A lone Eagle greeted us right in front of our picture window and it talked loudly for several minutes. And now over the years we have been here we see why they love it here. Lots of food for them and wonderful conditions to mate and raise their young.
Our property has some perfect views of the Kenai River and all the mountains around us. Just the right amount of easy trail down to the fishing hole just in front of our home. There is a never ending life from the wilds of Alaska to see each day. We can see the King Salmon nesting and breaking water just in front and along our side of the river. Eagles galore about the area as well as so many other birds. There is always some thing to look at or do here. Not a dull life living here. It is relaxing still with the quite natural setting still.
