Eagle Peak Guesthouse

If you’re in Alaska for the scenery, outdoorsy lifestyle, comfortable accommodations all in a great location this is the spot!! Richard and his family were so welcoming and the home itself was not only in a prime location to see beautiful Alaska (attached picture is only a 5 minute drive from the house!) but is beautifully maintained and had great amenities. We stayed in the studio apartment in the basement, which was perfect for a couples vacation getaway. The upstairs part looked like a great size for a larger group however! Would definitely stay here again!!

My fiancé Justin and I stayed at Eagle Peak Guest House specifically the mountain house for winter into summer. There just isn’t a comparison. Richard and Katie went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of since we were new to snow and anything Alaska. From the heated floors to the huge windows everything was top notch. I spent many mornings and evenings walking just in the neighborhood and we spent our weekends hiking as it’s a perfect location to the get to the Eagle River nature center and surrounding hikes. You won’t regret staying here if you’re looking for crazy comfort while feeling like you’re really taking in Alaska.

This was our first time using a Google Search to find a vacation rental so we weren’t quite sure what to expect, but Richard and his two properties made our trip “Top Notch!” When Kellie and I travel we typically stay at a hotel, but when we were looked at lodging in Anchorage during the their prime tourist season I was amazed to find how booked the hotels were. We came across Richard’s property on the Google search. The pictures of his guest suite and surrounding property made it seem almost too good to be true – but it wasn’t! It was just as beautiful as the pictures. The only concern we had before we booked was, based off the map, his property seemed very remote. But everything was as perfect as it looked online and with a state highway running near the entrance of his subdivision, it took less than 25 minutes to drive downtown. All in all it was an excellent value for a great property.
Richard is a most thoughtful, gracious host! He provided us with helpful information about what to see, where to go and where to eat.
The guest suite is just perfect! It was on its own floor (ground level) of a multi-story house, with a private entrance. The bed is comfortable; the bathroom has all of the amenities, and they have great Wi-Fi/Internet. The location is incredible, we even saw similar wildlife as was depicted in his online property pictures.
Richard is awesome. He was very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. The suite was very clean and had all of the necessities for a week-long stay. He is also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful. We had a cancelled flight which added an additional day to our trip. Though the suite where we stayed was already booked, Richard went out of his way to make his new guest house (which was in the final stages of completion) ready and available to us. That was a treat to stay at the new guest house (which I think can sleep six people). The house has beautiful views of the mountains that form the Eagle River Valley. We are already looking at booking it next summer when we bring the rest of the family.
Many thanks Richard and family for the wonderful experience!
We will be back next summer!

The Eagle Peak Guesthouse was perfect for our time in Alaska. Richard has a wonderful place! Location was so peaceful, beautiful and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Heated floors were so nice on the cool mornings. We would return for sure!

My daughter,her boyfriend Will and I, Caren Thompson, spent our first three days in alaska at the eagle peak guest house. We had a great time, but the sights were the best, Waking to mountain views was just breathtaking. The apartment was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The Marson family was very welcoming and answered any and all questions we had about our trip, My husband and i plan on visiting next year and hopefully will be able to stay at the guesthouse. I would recommend the Eagle Peak Guesthouse to anyone who wants to be outside of the city but not to far to get to the city. Very good experience. :)
