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.

Our family loved staying here. The view is amazing, the cabin has everything you need, and Catkin was absolutely wonderful to work with. We hope to be back!
Stunning views from the cabin. We enjoyed drinking coffee and watching the sunrise over the mountains each morning from the large deck. Catkin is friendly and engaging when needed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Kilcher family were very nice and accommodating. If we come back to Alaska we will definitely stay here again. The views were unbelievable.

Amazing cabin with incredible glacier view. It’s quiet and convenient for our daily life. We had a very wonderful stay there. The host is very nice and friendly.
The beauty of the bay, the kiltcher family homestead, the beach access, all of it was amazing! Catkin is the kindest soul and really cared about our experience! We appreciate the opportunity to learn more about her family homestead and to get to enjoy the beautiful location! Would 100/10 recommend!!
We arrive to postcard views and the most beautiful scenery God has created. Cozy, comfortable and amazing cabin and Tom was a super host to help with anything. This cabin made our first trip to Alaska simply amazing.
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!
The cabin is very clean and absolutely beautiful with a breathtaking view. We saw a mama moose her her baby out of the living room window in the early morning. Our host Catkin was easy to communicte with. We highly recommend staying there..

The view was spectacular! House had all amenities as well as some spices, and helpful travel necessities. Reasonable drive to restaurants and activities. We stayed two nights. A third to relax and enjoy the property would have been wise.
The cabin was awesome. Catkin was super courteous and helpful. She gave us a lot of great information about homestead and local history. Great people. Will stay here next time we come for sure. Thanks so much!!!
Enjoyed everything about the stay. Cabin was perfect. View was amazing. Host was excellent. Tour was an added bonus to hear the incredible story and get a first hand glimpse into history. Highly recommend and would definitely return. Thank you!
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.
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.
