Prime Kenai River Frontage with Private Lodging

Pristine view and just few steps from fishing right off the bank of the famous Kenai River. This property is very conveniently located in the middle of the Kenai Peninsula. Just minutes away from the small town conveniences in Sterling such as restaurants, groceries, etc. This property is a great base accommodation for your whole Alaskan vacation. From halibut and salmon fishing to white water rafting to bird watching, guided or not, this is it! You could be just about any where on the Kenai Peninsula and do just about anything you can dream of with very little effort and minimal time frames. From the "Bears Den", you are 11 miles from the heart of Soldotna's busy town center or 22 miles to the city of Kenai if you want to visit those areas. Also you are 90 minutes away from Seward or 110 minutes away from Homer the other direction by car on the Kenai Peninsula. You will feel like you are in the wilds of Alaska and yet relaxed with natural beauty all around.

The 145 feet of our private river bank front to fish off of with plenty of elbow room, view, or just relax and enjoy. There are 4 new daylight platform decks to fish and view from for ease and convenience. It also has picnic tables and benches, fire pit, fish cleaning table, and plenty of wild life to see. There is a your own full size freezer for your catch, satellite TV with a 55 inch HD flat screen, and wireless internet to stay in touch with. You will also have your own kitchenette for your fresh catch and for times you would rather just stay in. Also your own private newer washer and dryer for your convenience.

Our one bedroom vacation rental, "Bears Den", has accommodation for 4 to 5 people. The vacation rental has queen size bed and 2 twin size bunk beds. There is a very large comfortable couch and a rollout bed if necessary to suit your needs.

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 Bears Den. 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 "Bears Den" is just one of our four vacation rental accommodations. We also have the "Eagles Nest" lodging on VRBO with the listing number #798980 in case you are interested in our property availability. And we have the "Klondike House" which is a 3 bedroom ranch home with a listing number #1801842. And then there is the brand new "Moose Cabin" also listed on VRBO with #3288577. These other properties 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 or scheduling issues.

We are able to help you customize a package of adventures and side trips during your stay for you. We want you to have a great time and wonderful memories.

A piece of heaven on the Kenai
This trip was our second stay at Eagles Nest and we enjoyed it even more the second time around. We stayed in 2016 and again this year. The owners have made so many improvements including an awesome fire pit pavilion that is mosquito proof and can seat two dozen people comfortably. WOW. It was amazing. Ron is so attentive and cares for the property so well! I swear it was spotless. My wife was so impressed with how clean it was. Thanks to Ron and Katya for another great stay. See you again soon!

This is one Alaskan lodge you don't want to pass up! Ron & Katya have been outstanding hosts and the property has fit all needs! We were in a interesting situation needing to quickly last minute find a stay for our workers and Ron & Katya made that happen. They have gone above and beyond to ensure the crew is well taken care of. It has made this a very enjoyable stay for the crew! 10/10 would recommend you check this property out for your next Sterling stay!

Loves our stay!
Ron is a great host! He met us upon arrival to show us around the property. The bears den was comfortable and had everything we could have needed. Down to laundry detergent. There were poles available to fish off the docks on the property. He even helped coordinate an excursion for us. Thank you for making our anniversary trip so enjoyable!

Best fishing on the Kenai
From the moment I booked our reservation at our perfect little Bear Den our host Ron was incredibly helpful.. His knowledge of the area allowed us the best possible experience in this fishing mecca of Alaska. And our best catching ended up being right in front of us off his docks with his expertise in a new technique! The accommodations were perfect with everything we could possibly need...and then some! I hope to return again and spend more time exploring this amazing area!

Wanna Be Alaskan! But always a Floridian!
Can’t say enough… we loved this little cabin! Everything you need to reset and relax. Beautifully well kept grounds with so many thoughtful amenities. Well appointed kitchen and cabin that is exceptionally clean. Beautiful view of the Kenai river front with eagles flying by every single night. Multiple fire pits to gather around after your day’s adventures. Close to travel to many main points of interest or just completely unwind. Incredible host who truly takes pride in his property and was so helpful with our inquiries about our daily adventures. Ron you’re truly one of a kind and we were so happy to have meet you and stayed at your little cabin. Kevin, Queen Victoria and Caleb.
