Privacy of 2 acres of outdoor entertainment and only 2 minutes from Homer’s nightlife, fine dining, shops, and art galleries.

Breath-taking views from every room to watch ships, fishing boats, whales, eagles, and other wildlife. The home is located on a bluff, the edge is protected by fencing.
Only minutes from the Diamond Creek Trailhead and beach park. Turning left off the Sterling Highway across from Diamond Ridge Road is the access to this trail. You can park here and add a mile or so to your hike or drive down to the trailhead.

About the host

Hosted by Lauran

Host profile image
Originally from Denver, Colorado I moved to rural Alaska at age 16. I worked summers for several BnBs and Hotels in Denali National Park, learning the art of hospitality from top to bottom. Two years ago, while working as a professional in Oil and Gas, I began dreaming of building my Vacation Rental empire with uniquely, epic Alaskan experiences focused on outstanding hospitality.

I love the outdoors, travel, and adventure and these hobbies greatly influence my properties. My favorite thing about choosing to stay in vacation homes while traveling is the feeling of being apart of the community you are visiting. As a child and even today, my most cherished memories are trips taken with friends and family. I am passionate about hospitality and the role it plays in hosting memorable experiences for others.

I have lived in Alaska for nearly 25 years and together with my two boys, enjoy exploring the State. If you want to explore Alaska, I can give you all the best insider tips and advice.

Welcome to Alaska!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property after an amazing visit to Homer. I lover Homer, Alaska. There are so many fun activities: fat tire biking on the beach, cute shops and amazing fine dining. This particular property resonated with us because it feels amazingly tranquil and has "it all". 2 acres of privacy only minutes from town. We love spending time here and use it as a get away from Anchorage.

What makes this property unique

This property was designed to take in as much of the expansive views as possible and boy they are spectacular! Whether you decide to take the views in from the large wrap-around deck or from any room inside the home, there is always something spectacular happening!
