This is a beautiful home that is surprisingly spacious! It is well appointed and comfortable! The host was easy to communicate with and so very helpful.
This house was great for accommodating our family, but there were a few things that were off putting. There is no extra toilet paper or blankets anywhere in the house. Alaska was having an unseasonably wet and cold summer and when I asked the host for extra blankets she relied, “Are you cold?” We would have liked to have some blankets to curl up on the couch and watch the rain fall. There were also no top sheets on any of the beds. Upon leaving and looking for a pair of lost AirPods we looked under the couch cushions and it looked like they had never been vacuumed before. Our friend has an airborne peanut allergy and there were peanut m&ms in the couch cushions. Over all this house will accommodate all of your guests, but just know to bring your own blankets!I usually don’t write reviews but was encouraged by my family so others are aware of how they will be treated by this host.
The North Star House is perfect for a large group. The house is clean & comfortable, has beautiful views of the bay, and is well furnished. The host responded quickly to our messages & was very helpful when a problem occurred with VRBO in regards to our booking. We’ll definitely stay here again when there are six or more in our group.
Lovely and very roomy house. The beds were comfortable and it was very nice having our own bathrooms. Location was awesome and highly recommend this house for large parties.

Loved this place would definitely stay here again!!
This home offers everything you need for your home away from home. The 4 bedroom suites, 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms offer spacious room for quality gathering. We definitely would recommend this home and hope to be back again. It was the perfect ending to our son's wedding week. Thank you Victoria for clean, guiet and spacious accommodations.
Great home. Very spacious for our large family.
Very well stocked. Communication was wonderful. No issues at all. The house was perfect ( and I’m picky 😀).

Amazing!!
We had 3 generations here for a family wedding and everyone enjoyed staying here. There was enough room that if you need to get away from the group you could find privacy!! The backyard was great-Very private and large. Spent a lot of time on the back deck taking in the beautiful views. Thank you Victoria for allowing us to stay here😊
Victoria is a great host, she thought of every detail to make this home as comfortable as your own home. It is very clean and the location is in a secluded location yet close to everything else. The view is incredible. It was very comfortable. Also Victoria was very responsive to the multiple queries that I had and her recommendations were spot on. Thank you.

Thank you Baris.
You and your group were perfect guests.
Come back any time!
Our “Destination Wedding” location. We were staying for 4 nights and had to add an extra night onto the beginning of our reservation; this was not a problem with the owner, Victoria, she was very accommodating. There was enough room for all of our friends and family members. Homer Spit was an exceptional added treat,
delicious food and shopping.
Large group is no problem here! Beds and pillows super comfy, plenty of bathrooms, well stocked kitchen, and very responsive host. Living room/dining room seating plentiful, but could be more comfortable. Big deck with killer views! Would absolutely book again.
Kind of shocked at first when we drove by. It kind of looked abandoned. Then we realized everyone cut their yards with a lot of nature still around the house. The house itself was definitely what we hoped. Plenty of room for all of us. Enjoyed being more towards the edge of town. And the view was stunning. Thank you!
This house is fantastic, we had both floors and all rooms for our stay. Everyone had their own bathroom, downstairs had multiple entrances and easy parking. Two separate kitchens was great! With 10 of us staying it was nice not to step on anyone else’s toes.
The bedrooms were all very comfortable, bathrooms are large with plenty of space. Sad I didn’t get to use the soaking tub, next time for sure!
Six men on a fishing trip. Everyone had their one bedroom and bathroom which was awesome. Most of the bedrooms did not have blackout curtains which would be helpful when there’s 20 hours of daylight. Two in the party like to go to bed watching tv. None of the bedrooms had a tv. Home was well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. This place was a great find for our fishing group.
Exceptionally comfortable, well thought out home. Has everything you need. Beautiful views, can see 3 glaciers right outside your back door. Check in and communication was great. Can’t think of enough good things to say. Only downside worth mentioning is there are no blackout curtains so bring your eye masks to sleep.

Thank you Jason - so glad you enjoyed your stay!
I do recommend light sensitive sleepers to bring eye shades, but perhaps I will emphasize that in my pre-stay email - thanks for the comment.
Come back any time!
We were three couples. Everyone had their own Master. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, coffee and a host of condiments. When we reported that a can opener was worn out we had a brand new one delivered that same day.
Very convenient to the spit, the store etc assuming you had a car. All five stars.
