It is located on an amazing river spot, with really nice lawns and outdoor spaces. The rental is super clean and functional, with comfortable beds, a good shower, and nice towels. We felt comfortable and at home there. Will stay there again if we need to be in Spokane Valley.

Lovely!

Beautiful property, loved that the home had a fully stocked kitchen, lots of extra towels, and very cozy. Owners were excellent communicators, and even turned on the outside light when we weren’t back before dark (thank you!)Easy to find, quiet location but close to everything we needed!

This has been our favorite VRBO stay to date! The property is clean, comfortable, and situated right on the beautiful Spokane River. We had our coffee on the dock, kayaked in the river, saw eagles, a beaver, geese, and more. Carolyn and Doug were so friendly and helpful-- we couldn't have hoped for better hosts.We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend

Thank you for the lovely weekend. We didn’t see any eagles, but the sun rises on the river were gorgeous. Nice place to stay in well established neighborhood. Thank you!

Perfect and Private

I didn’t read the details of it being a daylight basement but it sure didn’t feel like one. The hosts were great and accommodating. The daylight had everything we needed and some. Hardly noticed the hosts living upstairs. Beware best for one vehicle. Two if needed can be accommodated. Great serene place to stay.

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!

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.

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...

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Hendrikson

Host profile image
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!
