Quiet stunning beauty. Luxury year-round retreat for large families, groups, executive teams, wellness retreat, friends, or a romantic getaway for the two of you to focus on each other. Alaskan wilderness feel in exquisite comfort with all amenities and then some. Expansive views in all directions from the warmth of all wood-paneled custom-designed interior. See multiple glaciers across the bay in full view. This home is like no other - every room is finished in wood. Ceilings, walls, floors of hickory, pine and oak constructed with the finest craftmanship. The warm feel of wood, the in-floor hydronic heat and rustic lighting create the ultimate unplugged experience. Yes there is satellite internet, but no land-line and no cell signal. Upstairs Master suite and loft for romance or quiet contemplation. Large stone fireplace and cathedral ceiling great room with mood lighting. Chef’s kitchen and 10 seat dining table. Two guest bedrooms and full bath on both main level and downstairs walk-out basement. 80 acre lot that is adjacent to thousands of acres of state land for snow mobiling, cross country skiing, hunting and hiking. Private retreat on year round maintained road. Hear the beat of bald eagle wings from large deck or view moose grazing peacefully. Fields of colorful wild flowers in summer. The house is not off the grid - there is electricity and a buried propane storage tank for energy. The wood burning fireplace with air circulation fan contributes to the ambiance and warmth of this chalet-style home. In the warm summer, windows and a breeze serve as air conditioning. Each bedroom has individual temperature control (heating) separate from the common areas. Guests arrive up the wooden stairs to a large covered porch. There is a large stack of firewood ready to go. The unique double oak doors help keep in heat when restocking the fire. Inside is a small tiled floor area in front of the coat closet for removing boots or shoes, but the rest of the main and upper floors are dark oak hardwood (except bathrooms, which are tiled, as is all of the lower level). The upstairs consists of a master suite and a sitting loft. The master suite has a queen bed, dresser, full length mirror and large his/her closet. Two nightstands each with individual reading lights on dimmer control. Also a hidden storage space. The master bath has a large shower and twin sinks. The master suite has vaulted ceiling with intricate wood rafters, beams, and a ceiling fan. The master bedroom windows face east, and the long twilight in the mornings and evenings, coupled with the silence that surrounds, give guests such peace and serenity that you never want to get up. But morning coffee sipped in the sitting loft with two large leather chairs is a great start to another day of decompression and rejuvenation. This loft has soft lighting on dimmers to give you just the right mood to relax. The main floor has two bedrooms and a 3/4 bath. Each bedroom has a queen bed, large closet, dresser, and night stands with lamps. The great room has comfortable leather chairs and a couch for gathering around the stone fireplace. There is a large deck accessed from the great room. The dining area has a large wood table and 10 chairs. Great room lighting controls allow guests to adjust to their mood and taste, from very bright to the softest almost dark setting. Lighting controls include the ability to illuminate the huge rafters and beams on dimmer, outside lights to see falling snow, and dimmer controlled wall fixtures. There is also a ceiling fan. The outdoor deck is a place all its own. Guests can stand out there or sit in one of the deck chairs and enjoy coffee in the morning or wine in the afternoon and hear the sound of silence and a soft breeze. The deck is a great place for yoga in the warmer months. Gaze across to three glaciers and mountains and a glimpse of the bay through the trees while you practice your asanas. There is a large (12") Dobsonian telescope that can be moved to the deck for stargazing in the darker months. The kitchen is a chef's dream. Six-burner Wolf gas range w/ griddle, and two ovens, one convection. The gas broiler makes steaks like the best steak houses. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality pans, pots, knives, cooking utensils etc. There is a large pot for steaming the Bering Sea King Crab that can be purchased at Coal Point Seafood in Homer - it might even come from the Time Bandit crab boat of the TV series "World's Deadliest Catch." There is also a HUGE wooden salad bowl for Cesar or other delectable creation. There is a coffee grinder, french press, drip machine, and espresso percolator to enjoy gourmet coffee as you desire. The kitchen layout provides plenty of work space for multiple "cooks" to convene and contribute - but PLEASE only cut/ chop with one of the cutting boards: the finished wood countertops are only beautiful if we can keep errant knives from damaging them! There is a disposal, dishwasher and wine cooler. Large Telescope for stargazing. The lower level has two bedrooms, two gathering areas equipped with a pool table, games, and smart TV. There is also a storage room (skis etc.), and a full bath with a large soaking tub. It is easy to grab the skis or snowshoes and walk out the lower level into nature's paradise.The utility room has a washer and dryer. The house is just off the road, but screened by alder bushes. There is a small community of Russian old believers a mile down the road called Razdolna, and there is an occasional car, ATV or snow mobile. But for the most part there is silence. The road provides year round access. It is a good quality dirt road. The house is 3.6 miles from the asphalt of East End road (mile marker 19). The lot is 80 acres. The house sits in the middle of the south 40 acres. A recreational access road divides the south 40 from the north 40 - there is a recreational parking area about a half mile to the northeast of the property where snowmobilers park. There is also a hiking trail (10km) to Caribou Lake. In the winter, just strap on X-C skis and go for miles into the wilderness, or bring your snow machine and go forever. Family retreat, executive retreat, romantic nest, woman-castle or man-cave: this house can serve as all the above. You will not experience anything like it - from the wood to the views to the sound of silence anywhere else. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Espresso maker - Griddle - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio - Telescope ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Climate control - Fan - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Smoking on front porch only ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near the bay ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Snow sports gear - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 3,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27132300/27132216/be8fdb92.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Eagles Rest at Kilcher Family Homestead in Alaska The Last Frontier Kachemak Bay Homer - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 139 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=27132216&PinnedHotelID=27132216&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110800000/110795700/110795615/d9fa56ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Listing - Quiet Alaskan Luxury Cabin Overlooking Kachemak Bay Homer - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=110795615&PinnedHotelID=110795615&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27130500/27130493/46f402f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Caribou Meadows by Historic Kilcher Family Homestead in Alaska The Last Frontier Homer - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 113 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=27130493&PinnedHotelID=27130493&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114840000/114836800/114836739/9d60aefc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great Alaska Get Away Homer - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=114836739&PinnedHotelID=114836739&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18770000/18764200/18764194/0e2219f7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enjoy The Views Of The Spit, Kachemak Bay And The Glaciers.

Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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.

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. ##### Charlie V.

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. ##### Jenica W.

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! ##### Carl W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca S.

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. ##### Rebecca S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan H.

This home was the perfect base for our family of 11 to visit Homer and the surrounding area. Every detail of the home was thoughtfully and well planned, and Robert has the home stocked for his visitors. The views in every direction were spectacular! We loved sitting on the deck and in the great room and admiring the beautiful views. We saw several moose each day, including a mom and her calves. We also saw a bear cross the road right in front of us on the drive to the property. We loved the remote location. The house was so exceptional; we didn't want to leave. In fact, we ended coming back to the house early each night just so we could all be together and enjoy the home and its views. Robert was the perfect host- giving detailed information about the home and wonderful advice about the area. I highly recommend rental of this property. We would most definitely stay here again, and I will tell any of my friends who visit Homer that this house is a MUST!!!!! ##### Susan H.

It is remote which is the only reason I gave it a 4. If seclusion is your goal, this house is perfect. ##### Kim K.
