About this property

Cabin with a Volcano Vista

The cabin is located near the bluff, just before Baycrest Hill as you travel into Homer. It sits on top of a downward sloping lot which provides a stunning view of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet. Additionally, beyond these bodies of water you can view mountain ranges including four volcanoes: Mt. Douglas, Mt. Saint Augustine, Mt. Iliamna, and Mt. Redoubt. The views from this property are simply amazing and beyond words. The wildlife is also exceptional with moose and Sandhill Cranes visiting the yard while eagles fly by or sit in the trees.

Inside the cabin the living area includes a fully equipped kitchen, corner bench style dining table, a couch, and three comfortable chairs. Further, there are two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an apartment size washer and dryer. The first bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bunkbed. A full complement of towels and linens are provided for guests’ comfort. There is Wi-Fi and a television with a Firestick for streaming your favorite shows. There are puzzles and board games for additional entertainment.

Outside there is a large front deck with glass enclosed railings to protect you from the elements while eating dinner, having a cocktail, or just enjoying the amazing view. There is a gas BBQ on the porch just outside the front door. The yard has a firepit which is always a favorite on those chilly Alaska evenings. There is a large flat grass area at the back of the cabin which is good for playing volleyball or other yard games. Parking is not an issue with room for multiple vehicles or even a boat or RV trailer.

Home away from home in Homer

A beautiful property in a quiet setting overlooking Kachemak Bay, close to Homer. Panoramic views of Kachemak bay and Volcanoes. Daily Sandhill crane visitors. Very clean, modern, and comfortable for a family of 4. Great communication and flexibility from owner. I hope to stay here again next time we come to Homer.

Cozy Cabin with Breathtaking Views

Our third stay at the cabin did not disappoint. Everything was just as we remembered it—clean, comfortable, and inviting. We had everything we needed for our week-long stay, plus daily visits from Sandhill Cranes. The views from the cabin are completely mesmerizing! We hope to return again and again.

The vista house on the hill

We loved this house!! Great spot with amazing views and away from traffic. Well stocked with all the essentials. Didn't need to eat out because we thought our setting was better than any restaurant we would eat at. We had up to 4 sandhill cranes hang out on the property every day. Short drive to everything. The one thing that our daughter complained about is the queen bed in the bunk bedroom was sagging in the center. And blackout blinds would be very nice. Other than that, loved it. Hope to be back here someday.

Great cabin!

My family and I stayed in this cabin for several days while we were in Homer. The cabin was very clean, very well stocked, and included all the amenities as advertised. We even saw the cranes strutting around the yard as well as the moose and calf! The cabin has wonderful views and was a perfect fit for our Alaska vacation.

Amazing views

This cabin is perched on a hill with panoramic views of the ocean and mountains near and distant. It was rainy and cloudy throughout our stay, but we had one early morning glimpse of the more distant, snow-capped mountains. We would love to come back for better weather to glimpse the entire panorama. The house was well-appointed with comfortable beds, quality linens, thoughtful touches, and everything you would need in the kitchen and then some.

Great Place!

We loved our stay here. The cabin was clean, modern, and comfortable. The views were awesome and we had several bird visitors to the yard which made the stay even better! The host reached out to ensure we had everything we needed and to let us know that she was available if we had any issues or questions. My friend and I felt very welcomed there and would absolutely consider staying here again.

Comfortable, Clean Cabin with Spectacular Views

We enjoyed every moment of our 10-day stay. We found the cabin exactly as described (but better). It is clean, cozy and has the most spectacular views of any place we have ever stayed. Highlights were the Sandhill Cranes who visited every day, the moose we watched from the kitchen window, and the whale we spotted out in the bay. We hope to return again and again.

Way better than advertised!

This home was way better than the pictures and description let on. I highly recommend this property. It would be great for a family or a group of friends spending time at Homer for a fishing trip. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The dining/kitchen/living room area is spacious with the most amazing view that you could ask for. Communication with the owner was top notch. I could not state enough good things about the customer service. Book this property. You will not be disappointed!

Our family absolutely loved staying here! This is a well cared for property in a beautiful area. The views from the home, deck, and yard were amazing. The owner provided little extras such as drinking water, laundry detergent, sleeping masks, coffee, and yard games. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to stay again in the future!

Great stay just outside of Homer

Group of 4 of us stayed here for 5 days or so and it was perfect for us. The views across the inlet are phenomenal on a clear day, the proximity to Homer was fantastic for us, and we were visited by a moose and her calf a couple of times. Highly recommend. Owner was very responsive and the home had everything we needed.
