About this house rental

Nestled in Fritz Creek, this attractive house for $350 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Caribou Meadows is in a beautifully private but accessible setting, it has new and antique furniture throughout, along with full furnishings to make your visit enjoyable and rewarding. Both the main bathroom and master bathroom have been completely retiled and remodelled with Caribou motif, while maintaining original post and beam style. The well system has been improved with a two filter system and is fresh and pure. This cabin is immediately adjacent to the owners family homestead (the Kilcher homestead). It was hand built on the site of one of Homer’s original homesteads, by a young woodsman as he was starting a family in Homer. His craftsmanship shows in the original wood structure details throughout the house. With three bedrooms, a sleeping loft to allow for larger parties, two bathrooms, and a modern kitchen, but with more than a trace of Old World and homestead styling, this is a unique and memorable vacation spot. The wildlife in the immediate area is abundant, with moose, eagles, sandhill cranes, porcupines and many others. The cabin is sited in a beautiful meadow, surrounded by forest with room to roam. From the cabin, you can see beautiful Kachemak Bay and the mountains across the way. The cabin provides modern amenities, has ample space and is a beautiful spot for a family to stretch out and use as a base of operations to explore both near and far. This cabin sits alone on a 10 acre plot 11 miles out East End road but has ready access and is close to the amenities at Fritz Creek (mail, gas, groceries, world-class restaurant and wines and spirits). In the area and beautiful town of Homer is halibut and salmon fishing, the Pratt Museum, galleries, restaurants, groceries, horse back and ATV tours, kayaking, glacier and bear viewing, air tours and much, much more. It is also within walking distance of a historic site of rich significance, where I grew up with my father, an early Alaskan State Senator and mother a writer, singer and poet and my siblings, in the austere 400 square foot homesteaders cabin - the Kilcher Homestead. Easy access to the Kilcher Family Homestead provides over 600 acres in which to hike through to the beach via one of only three beach access sites outside of Homer.

This is a must stay property. A moose walked across the yard to in any particular hurry. Also a porcupine graced us with their presence. Peaceful, tranquil and utterly impressive. Come and stay. You will not regret it.

We couldn't have been happier with our stay at Caribou Meadows. The home was spacious, comfortable, well equipped, extremely private and quiet, and really felt like being in Alaska. Moose wandered through our yard on multiple mornings and evenings and Sand Hill Cranes visited us daily. It was the perfect place for our family while we spent time in Homer and the surrounding area. Would highly recommend to friends and family! Hope to come back again someday.

A beautiful place to stay outside of Homer. We saw moose walk across the lawn on two occasions which was so fun!

We really enjoyed our stay at Caribou Meadows. This is a great spot if you're looking for something a little more remote yet still an easy drive into town and the spit. All the basics were provided making it "move in ready" and felt just like home. Great views with a nice hike down to the beach. Catkin was very responsive and quick to address any questions during our stay.

We had a great stay. The property was farther from the Homer Spit than we would have prefered but that was not a huge issue. We enjoyed the privacy and the wildlife.
