  We spent two weeks in Alaska after my daughter's gradation in Anchorage. This home was by far one of the nicest places we stayed. The home was warm and inviting. Everything we needed was there. And Catkin, the owner, went above and beyond in making us welcome. And the views were beautiful! Loved the history of the homestead. Would highly recommend this lovely home to anyone that is visiting in Homer. Thanks Catkin for the wonderful time!

  Stunning Beauty. Staying on the Kilcher Homestead in the most amazing log cabin with unbelievable views was such an incredible vacation for our family. We were looking for a site for my son's wedding and we found it. The whole property was so beautiful. The log house was clean and the master bedroom views were to die for. The owners were so kind and helpful. The wedding turned out more wonderful than we all could have imagined. Remote area with lots of wildlife to see. We saw bears, moose, eagles.We have traveled all around the world and could not have found a more beautiful place to be. Highly recommend it.

  This was a purely magical experience. When we drove up our jaws dropped. The view is to die for. The only problem is pictures DO NOT do this place justice. The house is very inviting and comfortable. The view from the master bedroom makes you want to stay in bed all day just looking out the wall of windows. We've had several dinners here with friends and neighbors we've met over the last year and they all agree this is the best place to be. We spent a good bit of the summer here and have returned for the winter and it is truly a wonderful place. Not only is Eagles Rest amazing but Homer is amazing. the people here are truly some of the kindest people I've ever met and the town has so much to offer. Whether it's fishing, shopping, or dining this town offers the best of everything. I sent home 220 pounds of halibut over the summer and I've sled down 3500 feet of hills and valleys this winter. I've seen eagles every time I look out the window and I almost ran into a moose while sledding. In the summer the fireweed is so plentiful and this winter the snow was plentiful. I just can't say enough about this place. We have been coming to Homer on and off for the past three years and staying here was the best out of all the places we've stayed. We are currently looking for a home to buy here in Homer and our biggest fear is that we are now spoiled and no place will live up to Eagles Rest. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience for me and my family.

  We spent two wonderful weeks in July exploring from Homer to Denali...This was by far our most incredible cabin! The spectacular view out of the master window is our screen saver, as it is beyond any postcard you might buy! Catkin was an amazing host and checked on our every need, yet we enjoyed private family time that we so craved. The cabin is abundant with rustic warmth and charm - yet every detail of a high-end home with comfy beds to fall in each night .....we could retire right here on this peninsula and in this cabin!!!! Spent a day fishing halibut out of Homer- our first experience and it was a grand one! We highly recommend Central Charters - the guides were very patient and each of us caught our limit! Homer Alaska and Eagles Rest call our name! We will be back!!!!

  This is a really nice large, clean cabin. Incredible views. You can tell this cabin was a labor of love, with many nice extra features. My personal favorite are what we've come to think of as 'our reading nooks' off the master bedroom. Curling up there with a mug of hot chocolate is the best. Large kitchen which even the most fussy chefs will be able to turn out something fantastic (be sure to cook some of the local seafood.) This cabin is a great place to stay especially if you have a large group, say making a fishing trip out of the Homer Spit. It's on the far side of town, so it's quite a drive to get to the spit it you have a boat, but the drive is spectacular and there is much to see. Be sure to visit the Kilcher Homestead which is down below (a short walk.) Last time we were in Homer we got a small boat and went over to Bird Rock to view the Puffins and over to Halibut Cover to for a cup of coffee. If you're a tourist, try to get over to the really small towns of Seldovia or Halibut Cove. The cities are charming, with boardwalks connecting buildings. There is so much to do in the area.

  I'm a lifelong Alaska resident and rate my time at the Eagles Rest in Homer, Alaska as one of the best Alaskan adventures I've had. My friends from Chicago were even more blown away; I don't know of any other experience like it in Alaska. We had eight people staying at Eagles Rest, a roomy and gorgeous custom log cabin. It was overcast while we were there, but the view was breathtaking. No neighbors in site. My favorite part of staying at the cabin was touring the original homestead site with the German caretaker. I've heard many things about Alaska's homesteaders, but this private tour truly brought it to life. Even if you are not spending the night in Homer I highly recommend calling the owners to see if you can go on the tour! (Remember to bring some cash; I think the caretaker works mainly off tips). We even saw a little black bear while walking down the site to the beach. (This was all on the 600 acre homestead.) I'm planning on bringing all my future out of state guests to stay at Eagles Rest; it was convenient, fun, and a great way of bringing Alaska to life. I also liked visiting the meadery while in Homer… and I'm planning on charting a fishing boat the next time I'm down there with guests.

  We had friends visiting from out of state and wanted to share the true beauty of Alaska with them. This was the perfect home to bring them to. The views of the Bay and the surrounding mountains and glaciers are stunning. The home itself is beautiful, very clean & lovingly maintained by the owners. Catkin was very gracious, helpful, and full of local knowledge. I highly recommend this home and we look forward to returning here again soon.
