About this property

Glacier View Getaway on the Kilcher Family Homestead in Alaska the Last Frontier

  • Your adventure awaits.. see update at end. This is our guest cabin built on the Klcher Homestaed. You can hike to Kilcher Beach and have a picnic only a mile away.

    This cozy guest log cabin awaits you with awesome views of Kachemak Bay, Homer Spit and pristine glaciers, abundant wildlife and a ribbon of hiking and cross-country skiing trails through the peaceful Kilcher Family Homestead. It is a great place to get away from it all after a long day of fishing, to curl up with a great book, complete an art project or just relish the quiet serenity (in this case in early mornings and late afternoon/evening).

    Glacier View Getaway is fully equipped with everything you will need to make your stay enjoyable including a full-size kitchen, kitchenware and linens. There are two comfortable bedrooms, Jacuzzi bathtub, dishwasher, propane stove, washer and dryer, deck furniture and propane grill.

    We are building our dream home nearby beyond the spruce trees.

Magical Stay!

We enjoyed Glacier View and the Kilcher homestead immensely! The property is just magical from the walk down to the beach to picnic or the evening campfires with amazing views. Catkins cabin has everything needed and she is a gracious and entertaining host. This was our family's favorite part of our Alaska trip and are already planning a return stay. Don't hesitate to see Alaska's splendor and the amazing Kilcher Homestead!

Our family had a great stay at this rustic homestead outside of Homer. A bit hard to get to but once you're there, you won't want to leave! The cabin itself was spacious and clean, well-equipped kitchen, washer-dryer, everything we needed. The views were nothing short of stunning! The pics don't do it justice. And the local wildlife! A mama moose and her two babies came by one morning, along with a family of sandhill cranes and a large porcupine. Just an incredible experience for our first time in Alaska--highly recommend!

AMAZING! The cabin was perfect! The view outstanding! The owners were fabulous! We were lucky and had a moose with her twins bed down by the cabin all day! It was very exciting. The entire stay was so pleasurable and we were so sad to have to leave. Hands down we would stay at that cabin or rent another cabin from these owners any day.

Magical Property

We had a wonderful time at the Glacier View Getaway on the Kilcher Homestead! The home has stunning views from multiple areas and there are unique family heirlooms and pictures throughout which give it such a personal touch. The home was well equipped, clean and comfortable.Catkin was such a gracious host! We connected with her a few times and met a number of other family members in our hikes to the beach. It was enjoyable to go on the tour on site to hear about the history of the homestead. It was truly a memorable stay and we look forward to coming back.
