I’ve lived in AK, Anchorage borough, for over 30 years.we have family and friends visit nearly every summer. In the past we’ve always stayed at the Lands End, but no more.
This home is a true jewel. Quiet, clean, fully stocked, 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen great bath! Then the porch is idyllic. Large enough for every one to stretch out, nice table and chairs for enjoying breakfast outside.
But the view knocks you out. There is a large, natural, front yard that brings birds and moose out for your viewing pleasure. The mountains twinkle and shine across Katchemack Bay. Definitely a must stay!

This cabin is on a slope overlooking Kachemak Bay and Kachemak state park. The view off the deck in the front is gorgeous. We saw a moose off the deck two out of the three days we were there. It is located close to restaurants, shops, and the Homer spit. There are many local restaurants and things to do. The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the shower had good water pressure.

The property was perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, there was assortment of birds and we had a few moose visit each day. It was great!

Comfy cabin deep in the trees at Fritz Creek…about 15 minutes outside Homer. Easy drive. Be sure to stop for coffee at the general store. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds with flannel sheets were great. No other buildings or neighbors in sight. The moose walked by the patio one evening. Awesome view of mountains, sky and clouds over the bay from front room. Quiet nights. Check-in worked great.

We stayed here for 3 nights. The property is well maintained and the view out the back window is spectacular. Very relaxing.
The last night we saw a cow moose, another cow and her calf and a bull moose. Fun evening watching them out the back window.

Great Place and Great Location!
The cabin was clean and attractive. The view of the Bay and Mountains was spectacular. The cow and year old calf showed up every day. We would liked being out to the town.

This was an amazing place to stay. Just outside of town enough to be totally quiet and peaceful. The property was beautiful, clean and the beds were comfortable. Only problem is that the moose knocked down the TV satellite dish so we didn’t have use of the television. But we did yet to see the moose walk by.

We loved every second of our trip to Fritz Creek & Homer. The view of Kachemak Bay & state park from the front porch is beyond breathtaking. We watched a cow moose and her calf meander across the back of the property one afternoon just before sundown. It's a short drive, and occasional water taxi (we used Ashore Water Taxi on the spit), to the most beautiful hiking trails. Grewingk Glacier Trail & Wynn Nature Center were our favorites. The house has a true Alaskan feel with all the creature comforts of home. Cozy, warm & wonderful.

This property was a good sized and warm place to stay during our visit to Homer, with a nice view. We saw a moose mamma and her calf in the yard on our first night. The bed was comfortable. It was not the cleanest property I have stayed in, and the towels were old and thin. There is a washer/dryer which is convenient. Guests should be aware that there is no WIFI and no BBQ, although the picture of the porch showed a grill.

We spent time halibut fishing (Josh at Big Butts Chater was awesome), on the spit Lots, and went to the winery. Only recommendation would be for mirrors in the bedrooms then 1 bath for 2 couples works well.

We had a great stay at this property. It is close enough to Homer to take advantage of the town, but out enough to be very quiet and peaceful. Loved the view and enjoyed sitting outside on the deck with coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening. Even saw moose a couple times near the house.
House met all our needs with comfortable beds and a hot shower. We spent most of our time out in Homer or hiking across the bay in the park. Host recommended the near by Wasabi restaurant which we tried and loved. Also liked the Fritz Creek general store, which had great baked goods. The Eveline State Recreation Area was very close by and offered outstanding views of the mountains and glaciers across the bay and wonderful wildflowers..don't miss it!

We were skeptical we'd see a moose in the backyard, but then we saw a mama with her baby a couple of times. Stunning view also. Would be nice if the couch was a pullout bed.

This property is quiet and relaxing. Had all of the comforts of home while in a tranquil and beautiful setting. View from the deck was very nice and a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee and looking at the distant mountains. Hope to return someday.

The cabin is a little gem with great views of the bay and mountains in the distance. It is a 15 minute drive from Homer, and the perfect location for those seeking tranquility. The cabin is clean and fairly well-equipped for a short stay. The Fritz Creek Store is a MUST...the bakery goods are scrumptious!

Wonderful Place, Awesome Views!
We absolutely loved staying here. My husband,son and I came to Homer for a friend's wedding. It was great to come back to this quiet place after our day's activities! Sitting on the back deck was so relaxing! I personally sat outside with my camera on a tripod for hours just waiting for wildlife to appear! We probably saw moose and babies almost every day in the backyard! Several of the shots on this listing are ones that I took! The Homer Spit was a great place to see eagles. At the corner of Lake St and Sterling Hwy, there is an Eagle Nest up high in a tree! Just look for people standing around with cameras and you'll find it! Thank you, Sherry for making our stay in Homer wonderful! We loved your house and your town!

So much quiet!
First, this place is a 15 minute drive outside of Homer, but that's the best part! Once you get to this property the only thing you can hear is quiet. Oh! And the birds...
The house is immaculate, the appliances and fixtures are modern and all work perfectly. The back porch is comfortable and affords a spectacular view of the mountains and the bay. If you stand just right, you can even see the spit off to your right.
I took a little walk across the grass behind the house and found two moose beds that were very recent. One was from an adult moose and one was clearly from a youngster. We saw some moose along the drive within a couple hundred yards of the house as well.
Beautiful, peaceful, quiet, nature...

Remote and private
New construction which is nice. Private with a great view. The downside for some (not us) may be the fact that the house is not right in town but somewhat out in the country. We preferred that. Would stay here again for sure.

Clean, beautiful views, awesome and responsive owner!!
Just no cell service ... be prepared to text in town.
