Peaceful refuge

Amidst the busyness of graduation weekend, it was wonderful to have a quiet place to rest in between activities; sit by the river and listen to the birds. We saw beavers, fish jumping, bald eagles, and were able to take the kyaks out for an evening paddle. Generous provision of amenities (coffee, snacks included) and linens. So appreciated Carolyn's flexibility with our changing plans, including adding a baby to the mix (who enjoyed the toys provided)! This is our 2nd time here and we hope to come back next time we visit our son.

Peace on the river

This was my third stay at Eagles Nest and I loved every minute. Carolyn and Doug are great hosts and all around nice people. I got to see the pair of bald eagles that live in the neighborhood several times during this visit. This is the perfect get away spot if you want peace and quiet and a good location for anything you’re doing in the Spokane area.

Relax by the river

The location cannot be beat! Sitting outside listening to the river go by makes the perfect backdrop for relaxing coffee in the morning or a nightcap to end the day.

Another great stay

Spent a week at Eagles Nest and couldn’t have been happier. The location is perfect for me for a number of reasons and the setting is beautiful. This was the second time I stayed during the last week of October and I’ll be back again next year, for sure. Carolyn and Doug couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating. Lovely people, lovely location!

A restful stay after a long drive!

Carolyn and Doug were friendly and attentive hosts. We felt very welcomed to their lovely property. It was the perfect location for us; easy to find, only a few minutes drive to our Gonzaga student's place, yet in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting by the river in our downtime, and fixing dinner for our son and his girlfriend. Doug made sure the grill was working for us and that we had everything we needed. The apartment itself was cheery and comfortable in every regard, including special welcoming touches. So much better than staying in a hotel!! We hope to visit again.

Cosy riverfront

It was perfect for our family of 3 adults. A bald eagle flew right by us last night! It's a daylight basement so plenty of light, it was very cozy. My husband loved the shower head. The heat is controlled from the upstairs residence but Carolyn cintacted us to make sure we were comfortable. Carolyn came out and met us and was very friendly and helpful.

Enjoyable stay at the Eagle nest

Had an enjoyable stay at the eagle nest this weekend! Property was clean stocked and on the river. Host were very helpful and easy to work with. This is a good place to stay and explore and enjoy Spokane and the Spokane river.

A week on the river

I spent a very relaxing week at Eagles Nest, and will definitely be staying again. The setting is beautiful and Carolyn and Doug couldn’t have been nicer. I was alone for the first 6 nights of my stay before my husband and a friend joined me for a couple of nights. I visit the area a couple times a year and always stay at a hotel. This time I was looking for something quiet and more private where I also felt safe, and this was just the ticket. It’s not a hotel experience, but if you want a quiet, private spot with a stunning view of the Spokane river and a comfy bed to unwind and use as your base, this is a winner.

Riverfront getaway

We were recently in town for a wedding and stayed at Carolyn's place. From the freshly ground coffee to the peaceful river setting, our stay was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again next time in town. Both Carolyn and Doug were great hosts.

The best VRBO experience ever!

My husband and I had the best experience during our stay. The hosts Carolyn and Doug are the most thoughtful and genuine people I've ever met. The pictures of this location do not do this place justice. Waking up to views of wild flowers and the Spokane River right out the window would never get old. I hope we get to visit again and spend more time in the river.

Bigger than expected. Convenient. Every Thing and more than we expected. Couldn’t beat the quiet neighborhood and beautiful view of the river. The eagle in the tree by the house was great and the geese on the river. Could have stayed longer.

Cozy home away from home.

This was my first time renting vs booking a hotel. I was a little nervous knowing it was an apartment and the owners would be on site. However, Carolyn and Doug made me feel instantly at ease with a brief but warm introduction and let me enjoy the Eagles Nest at my leisure. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, the property was cozy and just what I needed to unwind.

It Worked Out.

It was not perfect. little things could have been better but in the end It Worked Out Fine. Will MSG owner privately, hopefully these little tweaks will be worked out for you. I did like the little kid table with 2 chairs tucked away. You wont get that in a hotel. kids loved the toys they had. There was enough to like about this rental space and would rent again. The price is about right and I know what to expect.

yes, there are eagles

One of the nicest stays we've booked. Pictures are accurate, hostess is very welcoming and hospitable. One can spend hours just looking at the river, watching kayakers, floaters, and the occasional beaver adding to his home. Everything works, the kitchen is equipped for fixing dinners on the patio, that does include a working BBQ. No negatives to report...

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Hendrikson

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!
