Mountain View Retreat in Homer - Entire House. Bright, Clean, Renovated Home.
This is our peaceful family retreat 10 min north of Homer, Alaska. Enjoy breathtaking mountain views in a bright, well-equipped kitchen and a renovated home. A new home to VRBO, but is hosted by an experienced host with 3 years of excellent reviews.
Centrally located for everything: halibut & salmon fishing, Katmai NP flights, Lake Clark NP, Kenai Fjords NP adventures, and day trips to Valdez and Seward flightseeing tours.
Perfect for families or couples seeking comfort, privacy, and easy access to Homer and Alaska’s best outdoor experiences. -But without the traffic and noise.
Our home in Homer is a modern 3-bed / 3-bath house with a clean and bright finish. We sit on 1.25 acres of private land close to hiking trails and adjacent to public land/forest. Feel free to explore the backyard; you may see bald eagles in the trees, a moose, or a Caribou.
We have amazing mountain views and views of Cook Inlet from the living room and side deck. We often don't have the TV on and spend hours looking out the windows at the mountains and sky.
The house is warm and fresh, the beds, bedding, and furniture are all brand new, and the kitchen is fully stocked for six guests with room for more.
The master bedroom and secondary bedroom have queen beds, the third bedroom (kids ' room) has a triple bunkbed, and in the living room the sofa (queen) and chairs (twin) sleep well. -Meaning our home can accommodate a maximum of 11 guests.
The house sits north of downtown Homer, with just a 10-minute drive to the spit. With us, you're out of the crowds but extremely close to all the activities.
We went on a trip similar to yours 2 years ago and moved here because there's nowhere on earth better for family adventures than Homer, Alaska!
We hope to host you soon!
The vacation home is heated and features a patio and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator.
