Robert’s home is gorgeous with stunning views of the glaciers. It is remote which is the only reason I gave it a 4. If seclusion is your goal, this house is perfect.

This home was a perfect place for our group of 8 (4 couples) to spend our three days in Homer. What a beautiful home with plenty of space, beautiful views and top-notch amenities. Everything was immaculate and we could not have asked for a better place to spend our time in beautiful Homer. Thank you Robert for sharing your property with us!

Beautiful Cabin, Beautiful Location

The cabin is very nice and spacious. Ten of us had plenty of room to spread out. The cabin was perfectly clean and we received great communication from the host immediately upon booking. The location is quiet with an amazing view of the mountains and glacier. We saw several moose in the yard. It is well worth the drive. My husband has stayed here once before and we look forward to staying here again.

Beyond Exceptional!

This home exceeded all of our expectations. We saw moose in the yard every day of our stay. We even saw a few porcupines in the yard. The home itself was exceptionally comfortable for our large group of 12. The kitchen was extremely well outfitted for a vacation rental home. The host was extremely accommodating and the detailed notes regarding the home and our experience was perfect. We would not hesitate to rent again when we are in Homer.

I took my oldest two sons, their wives and 6 of my grandchildren to Alaska for 8 days.We stayed at this property the entire time and during the week we were able to enjoy a whale watching/wildlife tour, hiking in two national parks, experience dogsledding tour, hike to glacier lake and kayak for a couple of hours, catch 145 fish in 3 hours (keeping 123 cod "120.5 lbs), horseback riding in the mountain foothills and shopping on Homer's Spit.The rest of our time was spent lounging around the cabin and soaking in moments of paradise.The cabin is everything it is made out to be and far more. With 11 of us, we were never crowded, plenty of personal space, room for 2 cooks at all times and table large enough we could all sit together. Everything is beautiful, well built and made with comfort in mind.Whether sitting on the deck and watching the mother moose and her calve, watching the sunset at 11:30 in the evening or putting puzzles together, it was the best bonding time ever.The host was in Europe on vacation during our stay, but he stayed in touch to make sure everything was going smoothly. That impressed me.

Loved the location

It was lovely enjoying the mountain/ glacial views this lovely cabin boasts. Private, yet a short, drive into Homer, was the best of both worlds. The only thing I wish we would have had more detail about was just how stocked the kitchen was. We ended up buying too many condiments/ seasoning types of groceries when the house was fully stocked on all these things. A few extra blankets would have been great for the couch and early morning porch seatings. Very comfortable and great location. Exactly what we were looking for.

The Hidden Unicorn

This property was absolutely magical! The home is gorgeous and very comfortable with enough space for large groups. The views during the day and at night were breathtaking and there was no shortage of amenities in the home. Our group went snowmachining during the day and this home was the perfect location for accessing the trails out by Caribou Lake. Our host Bob was phenomenal when it came to communication throughout the entire stay. I would definitely recommend a stay at this luxurious beautiful getaway. Its worth every penny, especially if you enjoy snowmachining or winter activities.

Great Place

Our family had a great time staying here while up here from out of state for our wedding. It had everything they needed except a place for their 1 year old to sleep. I would recommend a crib and a baby gate to keep toddlers from escaping up and down the stairs. It is a beautiful place in a beautiful setting. They saw a mama moose and twin calves in the yard a few times. Plenty of space for all 5 couples and two small children. Not sure why there is a steep cleaning fee for each day when it only gets cleaned after we leave, and we are asked to put the bedding and towels in the laundry and haul away our trash. Other than that it was great!

Stunning Views, Wonderful Property

Our family was together for our daughter’s wedding in Homer. It was everything we needed and more. There was space for three families with plenty of room and bathrooms. The bunk beds were perfect for one family with small children. The kitchen had everything we needed and the TV room provided a great space for the kids to hang out in, leaving the adults the opportunity to relax in the extra comfy sofa and chairs. Robert is an excellent host; he was very responsive with excellent communication including a handbook prior to the trip. We chose this location because it was close to the wedding venue, we had no idea the spectacular surprise that was waiting for us! The view of the glacier and the gorgeous fireweed were breathtaking. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing such and magical place.
