Panoramic Views And Privacy On A 40 Acre Homestead

You will not be disappointed with the breathtaking scenery, exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities and the multitude of recreational, historical and cultural activities available in Homer and the surrounding area.

After arriving at the Twin Puffins (located a short 15-minute drive from downtown Homer), you can relax in the cozy cabin accentuated by warm, rich and natural golden hues of native Alaskan spruce.

The Twin Puffins features two comfy bedrooms; the Blue Bedroom is furnished with a king size bed and includes an en suite bathroom equipped with a standard size tub and shower. The Green Bedroom can be arranged with either two twin beds or one king size bed, offering flexible sleeping options. For additional guests, the living room provides a futon-style sofa. The main bathroom, conveniently situated between the bedrooms and living area, boasts an over-sized shower. For added convenience, a full-size washer and dryer are are available in the cabin, with soap provided, so you can pack light. The kitchen comes fully equipped, featuring a refrigerator with a small freezer, a full-size microwave, a stove/oven and a dishwasher. Other amenities include satellite TV, a flat panel TV with surround sound and DVD player in each bedroom. In addition to the TVs in the bedrooms there is a large flat screen TV in the living room. The living room stereo system can also be heard through built in speakers in the ceiling above the deck. Entertainment options include a small selection of movies and board games insuring you stay entertained even if the weather keeps you indoors. Wired internet and WiFi are available for your convenience.

From the living room, French doors open on to a spacious wooden deck; an ideal spot for relaxation while taking in the spectacular views of Kachemak Bay, the Kenai Mountains, Grewingk Glacier, as well as a peaceful green pasture with a large pond. Depending on the season, you may admire beautiful wildflowers like the brilliant, fuchsia-colored fireweed, or pick fresh raspberries along the driveway. Homer is also a Birder's delight, especially in the Spring when migrating shorebirds pass through. The area around the cabin is home to a variety of birds, including the Golden-crowned Sparrow (the 'oh-dear-me' bird) with it's distinctive call, Bald Eagles and other raptors, and frequent sightings of Sandhill Cranes. Wildlife, such as moose and occasionally black bears or coyotes, may be seen. Moose are known to enjoy a swim in the pond during the evening. Be sure to keep your camera handy to capture these memorable moments.

Whether you are in Homer on business, a sabbatical, a vacation or a honeymoon, The Twin Puffins offers a private and secluded getaway with all the modern comforts of home.

Exceptional!

We were blown away by how nice and comfortable The Twin Puffins cabin was. Exceeded any place we other VRBO we have stayed at. Had the opportunity to meet Carlton, the owner, and truly enjoyed getting to know him. Beautiful views of the glaciers and bay! My family has found our home away from home. Could not ask for nicer people.

Wonderful cabin located on the eastern side of Homer. Excellent view of the bay and Homer Spit. Surrounded by nature, yet only a few minutes from town, restaurants, coffee shops and Safeway. The cabin has everything for your stay and is immaculate. Owners are very easy to work with and responsive. I can’t recommend enough!

Twin Puffins - "A Special Place"

Twin Puffins is an extraordinary place! It is located on a beautiful hillside. The property is well maintained and manicured. It has easy access off the main road. It is exceptionally clean with some awesome decor. It has all the amenities than some homes. The view from the kitchen/den/deck area is breathtaking. It is surrounded by green vegetation and a pond below. The surrounding area has ample opportunities for various outdoor activities. I would highly recommend Twin Puffins in your next travels.

I can’t say enough about this property. Very clean. Everything worked. Gorgeous cabin. Fantastic view. Peaceful. Modern. Ample deck space. The list goes on and on. We absolutely LOVED it here. Not too far outside of Homer - just a few minutes drive - I wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to come back one day and stay again at this wonderful property. Worth every penny.

Twin Puffin - a slice of Heaven!

Simply amazzzzzzing...just the two of us...we shopped, hiked, explored, ate, drank, relaxed, and just plain enjoyed the unbelievable view. Even saw a black bear in the back yard. Only regret is having to leave and return to reality! We will be back! Many thanks for sharing your beautiful, perfectly located, well equipped, comfortable home...and the raspberries were realllllly good as well! Take care!

The Best!

We've rented quite a few places and this was the best! The view, the location, the deck, the privacy, and the cleanliness! It is also the little things that made it so great. We have never stayed at a place with so many condiments or with a grill that was spotless and ready to use. We hope to come back and highly recommend it to all.

Beautiful home with beautiful view

I would love to give it a 4.8 rating if I could because the house was perfect for the 3 of us to stay. Only a couple of minor issues: water pressure was low and there was no cutting board in the kitchen. The owner was very nice and accommodating. The home was close to all attractions and very easy to find from the main road. Very quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful Cabin with an Amazing View

We traveled all over Alaska and the Twin Puffins was definitely our favorite place to stay. It was immaculately maintained with all the amenities of home. A beautiful place to just hang out and take in the amazing views! The plants surrounding the cabin were beautiful. We were close enough to the activities we had planned to do but far enough away to feel like we were in a private, secluded location. Thank you for the fresh raspberry jam. It was delicious! We would definitely recommend staying at the Twin Puffins during your Alaska visit!

Homer Bliss!

Our six nights at Twin Puffin were perfect. The weather was cool and cloudy, which was great for our hiking in the area. There are so many wonderful trails in the area. The cabin’s set up was great. Two bedrooms with king beds and two baths. The best feature though was the large deck, with Grand, unobstructed views of the bay and mountain range. Wow!!! The kitchen is large with a table for 6, which is open to the living area. Both areas look out to that marvelous view!

Fantastic Host and Accommodations

The hosts are the best!!! They welcomed us with super friendly and informational text messages, and responded quickly to our messages. The cabin was in immaculate condition and beautiful designed and decorated. A log cabin with all the modern conveniences of home. It overlooks pine trees and the Kachemak bay with the Kenai mountain range behind it... a beautiful view that changed with the movement of the sun! The seven mile drive out of Homer was great for seeing moose. We saw a bull and a cow with two calves. It was great for photos!
