Beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. We also loved the view of the river! I would definitely recommend staying at Eagles Nest to anyone that is visiting the area.

Great vacation at the Eagle's Nest!

My girlfriend and I stayed for 10 days at the Eagles Nest. Ron and Katya are wonderful hosts! The entire property is VERY clean and well thought out. Beautiful views, lots of wildlife, and the property is right on the river with nice sturdy fishing platforms and a fire pit. This is our 5th or 6th time staying here and we will definitely be back next year!

Another fabulous stay in the Eagle’s Nest

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.

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!!!!

Awesome week at the Eagles Nest

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!

Thanks Jim for your review. Its been a fantastic experience every year you bring your fishing crew up to fish. This year your 31 inch and 29 inch Rainbow Trout were outstanding trophy fish. September and October fishing is for the big boys ad the big fun!

Life Changing

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!

Great place to stay. Wonderful hosts.

Two of us stayed at the Eagles Nest for a week. They call it an apartment but it as nice as any house, and has all the amenities you could ask for. The view from the deck is just incredible. No expense has been spared, from the comfortable beds to the washer and dryer. Ron and Katya are great hosts and very nice people. Truly enjoyed our many conversations. Anything they can do to make your vacation better, they will try their best to accommodate! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a clean, quiet, and comfortable place for their Alaska vacation. Will definitely be coming back to stay here! Todd&Beth

Eagle Eye Vacations a slice of heaven

We stayed in the eagles nest the property is immaculate. Ron and Katya were the best hosts we have ever experienced in all our vacation rental stays. It was like going to a full service lodge. The pavilion is unreal and a great place for all the fishermen to tell their stories of the days events. Fishing on the kenai was unreal caught our limits in 2 hours both days we fished. Ron hooked us up with an excellent guide Sean Smart. Property is right on the river if you want an experience of a lifetime don’t hesitate booking this property. Fish on!

We loved meeting you and having you stay with us at our Eagles Nest cabin. With all the fishing activity on the Kenai River, you were able to see far and wide from the Nest on high balcony. Like an eagle with super vision, you two were able to capture the moment of prime time Alaska. Fishing at its best. We are so pleased you enjoyed your vacation with us.

Great stay at Eagle Eye Vacation Rentals

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.

Exceeded our Expectations!

My wife, 18 and 16 year olds sons and myself stayed in the Eagle's Nest at Ron and Katya's place. We had an amazing time! We all commented on how this was the cleanest, most comfortable VRBO that we have ever stayed at. There are many great things to list, here are a few: Ron gave us the space and guidance that was needed, he helped us out with fishing gear and fishing spots, he helped us with getting our fish processed and frozen, he helped us book all of our day trips and adventures, he helped us out with places to eat and places to explore. We can't think of anything else that Ron and Katya could have done to make our Alaska experience more enjoyable. They went way above and beyond with the help and services that they provided. They both have huge hearts and are very kind. We have already booked again for next year.

Excellent in every way!

We were thrilled! Beautiful location, impeccable grounds and the attention to detail in the accommodations deserves more that 5 stars. Comfortable beds and pillows, very clean from top to bottom. Kitchen had everything we needed so we were able to pick up the basic groceries for our week long stay. We are new to fishing, Ron organized 2 days of guided fishing trips, one day on the Kenai River and one day on Kasilof River. Our guides were the best! Professional and superb instructors. We had a successful exciting fishing trip. On the off days were able to tour the surrounding areas. Ron is knowledgeable of Alaska and helped guide us where to go. There is a wonderful enclosed pavilion we also enjoyed. Complete with a fire pit, tables and music. And again our hosts made sure we wanted for nothing! Thank you so much! We'll be back!

Tranquillity

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.

Trip of a lifetime!

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

Amazing find in the heart of the Kenai Peninsula!

Ron and Katya have built an amazing spot in Sterling on the banks of the Kenai River. The Eagles Nest was beautifully appointed and looked like it was finished just before we got there, but indeed was not - it's just maintained that way! There are a couple flights of stairs to get up, but they are wide, well lit and covered in an amazingly soft carpet. The sitting area/living room/full kitchen was very comfortable and great to have available to us during our three nights there this past September - very useful to keep our drinks and lunches ready to go in the morning for our days fishing the river. The bedroom was well appointed and comfortable, and the bathroom was huge, with a nice sink/vanity, full shower with two different heads, and a washer and dryer that came in very handy during our two plus week stay in Alaska. Ron checked in with us the day were arriving to make sure all was good, was available during our stay, and even checked with us to ensure a clothing item he found wasn't ours. Just 15 minutes from Soldotna, it was perfectly placed for our three days fishing three different sections of the Kenai, and would be a wonderful base of operations anytime of year. With handmade wood products through out, Ron and Katya and have truly built a warm and cozy home away for home for whatever brings your to the Kenai Peninsula!!!
