  Everything was just right in this sparkling clean refuge perched above Homer. The hot tub was wonderful, the kitchen was well-equipped, the owners were helpful and friendly, the beds were very comfortable. The up-to-date washer and dryer set was handy after some rainy walks. Even though the house is secluded, it was only a few minutes drive from downtown and a few minutes more to the Homer Spit. Our last morning in Homer, there was even the footprint of a moose in the driveway!

  We just spent 8 nights at Little Fireweed Cottage in Homer. This was the first trip to Alaska for my family and I. The cottage was very clean when we arrived and the place looks just like the pics in the listing. Everything was just as described. The views off the deck are actually far better in person. On our first morning, we got up to have coffee on the deck and lo and behold, there was a Momma moose with her baby browsing about 20 feet off the deck. We hopped in the hot tub and watched them walk around the yard and eat for about a half hour. We saw them nearly every day we were there. Very exciting for us. We loved grilling the fresh halibut and salmon we caught during our stay. BTW, we were extremely happy with our halibut charter captain, Pete Wedin (http://captpete.com/). Pete has a fantastic attitude and is great with kids. We also went clamming and fried up a delicious batch of Pacific razor clams. The kitchen in the cottage is fully stocked with appliances, dishes, pots, pans, etc. You will want for nothing. Our favorite places to eat were: Breakfast - Maura's Cafe on the corner of Main and Bunnell Bakery - 2 Sisters Bakery, 1 block east of Maura's on Bunnell dinner - Cafe Cups on Pioneer and Mermaid Cafe on Main lunch - Fresh Catch and Captain Patties, both out on the spit You will need dinner reservations 7 days a week in the summer season. We had a great sea kayaking experience with True North. Fantastic sights and even got to paddle up close to an otter. I can't recommend this cottage highly enough. We loved every minute and are already planning to visit again next summer.

  My husband and I just loved your house. It was fully equipped and very close to town and the spit. Homer is such a beautiful place and the views form the house were awesome. We want to return to Homer in the future for more fishing and would definitely stay here again. We have already recommended it to family and friends if they plan to visit Homer. Thanks for everything!

  We absolutely loved our stay here. Perfect for a family or small group. Immaculate condition, super clean, great amenities, and very responsive owners when we had a question. Plus, there's a hot tub! We have been recommending this property to all our friends who still live in Alaska & anyone who visits. We can't recommend it highly enough, fantastic experience.

  Took the family down (myself, wife, 2 kiddos 5 and 4). We couldn't have asked for a cleaner or more comfortable place to relax in Homer! We were blown away by the detail and cleanliness of Little Fireweed. The hot tub was perfect after a long day beach combing in the cool ocean breeze. We got the pleasure of watching a cow moose and her twin calves come out of the woods and graze not 20 yards away for a couple hours while we soaked...it was perfect all the way round.

  A peaceful, cozy retreat awaits you! We booked the cottage for our honeymoon and had a blast using the hot tub, cooking meals in the modern, clean kitchen, and just unwinding from a very whirlwind wedding! The location (located within the bounds of Homer, close to everything, yet far enough from the hub-bub to feel peaceful). The cottage looks out over Homer Bay which is a huge plus as we really enjoyed having that scenery while hot tubbing. We also enjoyed the fire put up a little ways from the cottage... The bedding was immaculate - very comfortable beds and bedding which made for massive rest and rejuvenation. Which we desparately needed. Showers were great too (spacious, modern, tons of hot water, no issues, just wonderfulness) which is huge. Loved the big classy wine goblets and decorating! Overall a great place for a honeymoon!

  When I arrived at Little Fireweed Cottage, I was pleasantly surprised at the tasteful decor and homey feel. The cottage has everything you could possibly need to prepare a great meal, and its fabulous to have a washer and dryer. The view of kachemak bay from the hot tub is fabulous. I enjoyed relaxing there with a glass of wine. Convenient to a grocery store, restaurants, and shops, the cottage is in a great location. There are houses nearby so it is not completely private. The only suggestion I have is to put in some concrete pavers to provide access from the driveway to the door. The Spring thaw has started and it was extremely muddy and hard to carry in my suitcase. Otherwise, it was a perfect stay!

  Owner response: Thank you for your kind review! Your suggestion to add pavers is certainly understandable considering how unpredictable and messy Spring break-up can be! This was actually the earliest in the season that we have ever been open. We usually wait for the weather to turn, at which time the driveway returns to its normal state. If was open this early in the season again, we will certainly take your advice! Thanks so much for your feedback and hope to see you again!

  This cozy cottage was immaculately clean, very comfortable for the 3 of us, and very conveniently located. Soaking in the hot tub under the stars was heavenly. (The cover was a little hard to deal with, but otherwise easy instructions.) The washer and dryer came in very handy. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Their laminated notebook of helpful information about the cottage and the area was perfect. I highly recommend this wonderful cottage, as well as Homer- what a great, eclectic and unique town.
