Guesthouse in Homer

We offer a charming one-room homesteader cabin on the bluff overlooking Kachemak Bay, about 4 miles from downtown Homer. The space The view from the yard is the stunning Kachemak Bay view, a front row view of the tide ebbing and flooding, and the mountains and glaciers across the bay. You will walk down our lawn about 100 yards to get to the one-room cabin; it is tucked in some trees on the bluff. There's a pleasant outhouse, an indoor cold water sink, and an outdoor hot shower on the back deck. The shower is lovely on a sunny day, chilly in a breeze. There is a wood-burning stove for serious warming, also a small propane heater for taking off the chill during the summer. There's a small refrigerator, microwave, and an electric teapot to make hot water, a drip coffee set-up, some coffee, tea bags, and honey from my bees. The cabin is not set up for real cooking. The deck is spacious and very warm on a sunny day, and has a table and chairs. The east-facing porch has a bench for your morning coffee. There is a twin bed with another twin trundle that can be pulled out. The bed also serves as a couch. There are black-out blinds available for the windows for the bright summer nights, and a chamber pot for the night if you wish to use one. There’s a challenging scramble to the beach for the fit and adventurous, with a rope to help. An easier access is about a 10 minute walk away. The beach is little-used, so is peaceful, and a good place to walk. A driftwood fire could be made on the beach. There are extra blankets to take outside to lounge on the lawn. A tent could be set up on the grass for another person or two. Guest access Guests are welcome anywhere on in our yard. There are swings in a giant old birch tree. I have a big vegetable garden, with the possibility of things to share if you’re interested. In late summer there are raspberries. Sometimes we have a moose with a calf or two in early summer, so it's good to be aware. Other things to note The cabin is best suited for able-bodied people willing to rough it a bit in exchange for a stunning and secluded spot. It is about 100 yards to walk down the lawn from the parking spot to the cabin. The cabin is not set up for cooking beyond the microwave and hot teapot. There is a wifi signal coming from the rooftop of our house; the effectiveness varies. The doors do not lock. There is no TV.
