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.

We loved our stay at Glacier View. The view was amazing. We saw a moose and her 2 babies walk across the property and we saw a coyote on our walk to the beach. Two sand hill cranes performed their mating dance for us. Our host was accommodating and the cabin is adorable. Highly recommend staying here!

Loved this VRBO! It was clean, perfect size for 3-5 people. We enjoyed two days there. We were able to see three moose and some sand hill cranes. Loved the location and views all around. The host was quick to respond and full of knowledge. Enjoyed a hike down to the beach and found some cool shells. Will plan on returning in the future.

Another Incredible Stay!This was our second time staying at Catkin’s property, and it was just as amazing as we remembered. The views of the glaciers are absolutely breathtaking it’s something we never get tired of. The location is perfect: central enough to easily explore a variety of activities in the area, yet still peaceful and scenic.Catkin is a fantastic host always responsive, welcoming, and helpful, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!
