Stunning views of mountains across Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet. Spacious home, beautiful kitchen and decks. Really a nice place to stay.
We loved our 5 night stay in this very private, large home. Great views, saw a moose and her calf in the neighbor's yard, comfortable beds and great kitchen (with sharp knives, a rarity for rentals!) Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Homer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, house was stocked with everything we needed. A short drive to grocery store and shops. Nature Center nearby was great as was the guided tour.

Incredibly beautiful and well maintained. Maggie keeps it stocked with many of the everyday items you need. Million dollar views of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet. Remote, peaceful and awesome. We hope to be back.
Maggie Burns the owner was awesome. A group of four of us fishermen stayed five days, self-catered ,and enjoyed having the two and one-half bathrooms. Of course the views from the decks were magnificent.
The property was fantastic. Actually the photos on web did not do it justice. It was a beautiful home, nicely built. Three bedrooms and three baths. we'll rent it again in the future, for sure.

Honeymoon Retreat
Maggie and The Captain, we cannot thank you enough for opening your home to us. This property is perfect. From the comfortable master bed to the expansive well stocked kitchen, the breathtaking views and serene location, we truly could have not chose a better place to stay. Thank you so much for making our wedding and honeymoon so memorable. We hope to return one day as either out of towners or locals.
The whole process of checking in and out as well as communication before and during the trip with Maggie was seemless! We would highly recommend this stay! We really enjoyed our morning coffee and evening wine from either outdoors on the deck or indoors from the dining room, livingroom, and master bedroom. We even saw 3 moose- 1 coming right into the yard! It was the perfect Alaskan Getaway! The location was ideal from Homer- super easy access to get into town, yet in the country with the more secluded feel.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Homer in the Burn's home. The fireweed was in bloom and was beautiful overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed eating on the deck and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. And Maggie ordered perfect weather for us!!! The kitchen is very well designed and fun to cook in. The accomodations were great. Looking forward to next year.

Awesome, stunning view
We enjoy our yearly stay at Maggie's. She is quite a gracious hostess. Her home has a beautiful kitchen... and deck with grill.... overlook of the valley is so peaceful. We were graced with good weather and fun times fishing and lounging and enjoying family. The firepit begs for smores!!!! Yum. Thanks Maggie for allowing us to experience such happy times.

When my wife and I booked the house the dozens of 5 star reviews did sway us. Sadly, I cannot give it the 6 stars which it deserves. Beautiful house, wants for nothing, and you feel at home immediatley.
The photos of the views look good, but when you are there they are stunning. Homer itself is small and all the local people we met were very friendly. Discovered a lot about fish, wildlife and coastal conservation and was surprised how little we knew before. Even saw a Moose in the car park of the Homer Bookstore !! Wonderful place to visit and Maggie is the perfect host, available as often or as little as you want. Would love to return.

Exceptional Stay!!
My husband and I and another couple recently stayed at this property. I chose it because of the views and wrap-around deck shown on the website. It was beautiful! The fireweed (red-purple flowers) was in full bloom. The sky was clear, and we had wonderful views of the ocean and Mt. Augustine (?). At first I was concerned about the distance from town, but we had a car and found this not to be a problem. If fact, we relished the solitude. My husband and I decided to check out VRBO listings for future vacations as available.
Our friend is an amateur chef. He was delighted with the kitchen and prepared several excellent meals. We found the breakfast bar very handy in the mornings, yet ate in the dining room in the evenings. Beds were very comfortable. The whole house was very relaxing and inviting.
The owner was very friendly and helpful (although my husband and I both declined shaking hands since we had just returned from fishing :)) The guys fished one day with Bob's Trophy Charters, and everyone on the boat caught their limit of king and silver salmon.
I highly recommend this property. If we return to Homer, we would definitely book this home again.
This place was everything I’d hoped it would be. Very comfortable for two couples and the views from the windows and balcony were incredible. I would definitely stay there again if we ever make it back to Homer which we also loved.
This spacious, well decorated home has amazing views and was so comfortable for two married couples. We saw two moose next to the yard. Twice we enjoyed dinner while gazing at the beautiful bay and mountains. We loved every minute of our stay! Host was wonderful!
This is simply the best property we’ve ever stayed in through VRBO! Amazing home, views, and host!
The host had wonderful communication and showed thoughtful preparation for our arrival and stay.
Close to Homer and all the places and things the area has to offer.
Stop looking and book this property!
This was a repeat stay for us. We just love the house and the views of the deck are incredible. And then there's Maggie...the best host every she is so accommodating with any request. We will definitely be back again we just fell in love with Homer.
I can’t say enough good things about this property. The owners were awesome in assisting me with ANYTHING I needed. The accommodations are everything advertised and more. I really enjoyed being able to sit outside, at the fire pit, taking in all the beautiful surroundings. Lots of outside deck space also to enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Close to town, shopping and restaurants. The house is very spacious and has everything I needed. I will definitely be returning next year.
