About this property

NamaStay ~Spectacular Views in Scenic, Convenient Location

NamaStay invites you to step inside, unwind and take in the panoramic views of this roomy and comfortable home away from home. Surrounded by stunning Kachemak Bay and its glacier-studded mountains, NamaStay is located in arguably one of the most scenic areas of Homer, yet we are a convenient 6 miles from downtown. Within minutes you can access Homer's art galleries, shopping centers, and fine restaurants-- or head to the famous Homer Spit for myriad fishing and recreational opportunities.

This 1400 sq. foot chalet-style Alaskan home is sunny, stylish and spacious. Situated on just over an acre of land, NamaStay is ideal for friends, couples and families, and can accommodate 2 to 6 people.

The ample living room boasts vaulted ceilings and a wall of south-facing windows to capture the light and warmth of our long summer days. A dining area is nestled into the living room, providing an intimate space to celebrate food with family and friends. Our deck is fully equipped with a propane BBQ grill, picnic table and lounge chairs, and is the perfect place to enjoy your fresh catch, some Homer-grown veggies or a locally brewed beer.

The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need and more to prepare gourmet meals during your stay. A small table and custom crafted breakfast bar provide spaces to indulge and take in spectacular views.

The master bedroom includes a queen size bed, walk in closet, 8 drawer dresser and full bathroom. The en suite bathroom features a handcrafted stained glass countertop with stainless steel sink. Light-canceling shades offer a reprieve from the midnight sun and alluring views when you're ready to daydream about what adventures await you.

The second bedroom hosts 2 new twin beds, situated opposite each other in a cozy loft bedroom, with plenty of closet space and a luggage rack. Distinctive angles and newly installed birch flooring transform this modest space into an inviting enclave. An additional sleeping space containing a fold-down sofa bed is available on the first floor in a recessed area off the living room. There's a small closet in this area for storing luggage and hanging clothing items, as well as a 3/4 bath just steps away. The downstairs bathroom's unique tile and beach rock floors, sink top and backsplash are noteworthy design features.

An expansive yard hosts guests such as resident moose, eagles, hawks and pheasant; sandhill cranes and other migratory birds also frequent the wide open fields this region is known for. A lovely 2 mile walking trail is accessed in either direction from NamaStay, an easy and relaxing way to explore the neighborhood and all the while be dazzled by breathtaking views.

NamaStay provides all the comforts of home, with an intimate setting in a superb and convenient location. Make NamaStay your home base for your next Alaskan adventure and create unforgettable memories that will leave you beckoning for more.

Beautiful view and nice and cozy. The stairs going up to the bedrooms can be hard and the second bathroom is downstairs. The main bedroom has a bathroom that is attached. The host was wonderful and very helpful. Overall the stay was wonderful!

This was a great house for us! It’s just outside of town enough that it’s quiet but close enough to buzz in to town for whatever your agenda is for the day. Very nicely decorated, comfortable beds and towels, fantastic views!

Killer Views
We booked this house based on the views in the listing pictures and we were not disappointed. THE VIEW IS NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR!! The house is located about 6 miles from town so a car is a must. The drive to town is scenic and not an inconvenience at all. The stairs to the second floor are steep and narrow so that should be a consideration if you are elderly or handicap. Also the master bedroom has the only real bed. The rest of the beds are cots or futons. There is also no washer or dryer. Not a problem for us but it might be useful information tor others. Our only real complaint is a small one - the grass needed to be trimmed around the walkway to the door and at the base of the deck stairs. We would rent this house again.

Great vacation
Family of 5 adults. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property manager was great to work with. Only had one, very minor, issue that was immediately taken care of. This was a return trip for my husband and myself. We brought other family along so they could experience what we had the previous summer. Everyone was very happy. Loved the home and the view. Hope to stay again.

Cozy home with spectacular views!
Only a short drive to downtown Homer, this home has amazing views to the glacier and mountains across the bay. Even though it rained A LOT throughout our stay, the windows ensured we had plenty of light and felt connected to the outdoors, while the window coverings in the bedrooms ensured a good night’s sleep. The home was VERY clean and had everything we needed. We appreciated the nature guides and local info on the bookshelf, and the sandhill cranes in the yard were a treat!

Views for days!
My wife and I enjoyed staying in the beautiful Namastay home. Jaimie was a wonderful host and very prompt. We felt inspired as we enjoy the breath taking views each morning before exploring all around Homer and replenished while cozying up on the deck in the evenings as the sun slowly set past the mountain tops. The home is well laid out with unique decor from places traveled afar.

About the host

Hosted by Jaime Gable

Host profile image
20 years ago, I ventured to Homer, Alaska on a quest to explore the Last Frontier. I was young, eager and fresh out of college searching for a place to call home and plant my feet for awhile. Being a sun-loving surfer chick, I never in my wildest dreams imagined that a place like Alaska could capture my attention for long, or steal my heart. It did. To my amazement, it wasn't just the breathtaking scenery and jaw-dropping views that Homer offered that kept me yearning for more - it was the combination of the remarkable natural beauty with its outstanding community. Having grown up in the suburbs of Pennsylvania, I had never experienced true community the way that I did upon arriving at the end of the road. Since that time, I have adapted my lifestyle in order to maintain a home-base here. As a result of this alternative lifestyle, I have been able to live out many dreams - one of which has been my passion for traveling. The long, dark winter months beckon me to throw some meager belongings into a backpack and hit the jet stream. My travels include destinations such as Africa, India, Colombia, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama and Mexico. And my list is still long. It is my own passion for traveling combined with my love for Homer, Alaska that made me decide to open up my home to other travelers. Besides my love for exploring foreign lands, I also love to garden, hike, cook, and spend time with my beloved dog, Rufus.

Why they chose this property

NamaStay is located in a spectacularly scenic area of Homer just 6 miles from downtown and the Homer Spit. The proximity to town puts you within 10 minutes of Homer's art galleries and great restaurants, as well as heading out on a fishing charter or kayak trip for the day. The residential neighborhood provides great opportunities for wildlife viewing while relaxing on the deck grilling up your fresh catch of the day. There's also great walking/hiking just out your doorstep.
