About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fern Creek Convenient location w/ spectacular views!

This darling little house has been completely renovated in a rather eclectic Alaskan style. We have combined some of old Alaska with fresh looks for an utterly charming effect. Please note that the bedrooms in this house are upstairs while the bathroom is on the first floor.

Located conveniently close to town, on the back corner of the property, you have a private yard, plenty of parking, and spectacular views of Kachemak Bay and the snow-capped Kenai Mountain Range. There are decks across the width of the house on both levels. South-facing, the house and decks capture the full sun into the evening hours. Both decks have seating from which to relax, drink coffee (or whatever!) and take in the extraordinary views.

This is one of three rentals offered by Alaska Holiday Homes and available on this property. The other house is a duplex. Rent all or a combination to bring a large group of family / friends together in one location (in all, beds for 12 - 14 people).

The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Perfect Place to stay in Homer

I can see why this airbnb has such amazing reviews! It is located in a great spot in town, close to everything, yet with a private and very safe feel. Mama moose and her baby visited one evening and we watched through the window in amazement as they made themselves at home in the yard. The beds are very comfortable, the shower is hot, and the coffee beans and grinder were a nice special touch. I would love to come back and stay here again if I ever make it back to Homer!

Great Stay

The cabin was well appointed with VERY comforable beds and pillows and the views were stunning. It was just a short drive down to The Spit where we saw lots of people meandering through. A nice drive up East End took us to Eveline park where you could see glaciers. .wertheonger.

What a lovely stay in Homer. Cabin was quiet, clean and cozy. Just a short drive into town or to the spit. Beautiful view from the front decks. And a super special morning visit from Momms Moose and her two calves. Phyllis was a joy to work with. Hope to return again soon!

Comfortable and convenient!

We were two adult couples and enjoyed our four night stay. The home was comfortable and the location incredibly convenient to all sights in and around Homer. The view was stunning and the grounds beautiful and immaculate! We were visited by two sandhill cranes, a nice treat. Check in couldn’t have been easier. We had no problems, but knew if we did we could have easily reached the owner.
