About this property

Peaceful Setting With Therapeutic Views Of Kachemak Bay And Surrounding Glaciers

Fernwood Estates is located just minutes from downtown Homer and the famous Homer Spit yet offers the Alaskan sense of seclusion. We don't have the only great view in Homer, however, there is something special about this view. It relaxes you inside.

Spacious rooms, spacious lawn, and a place to truly relax. Built for B&B in 1999, Fernwood Estates has been well maintained with cleanliness as a high priority. For winter travelers the roads are well maintained and our elevation offers phenomenal views of the Kenai Mountains and glaciers.

This 2 bedroom 2 bath unit has beds for 6 plus a queen couch bed and extra mattresses. The rooms are well appointed and the kitchen is ready for you to create your masterpieces. High speed internet and sat TV are available for your enjoyment. There are movies, books, games and outdoor activities to occupy you. Lots of wildlife wander through the yard and a few eagles hang out here regularly.

You have a private patio with BBQ and picnic furniture so you can savor your Alaskan experience. Bring some yard games and enjoy yourselves

For your convenience both laundry facilities and fish cleaning stations are just minutes away. The hosts live on site and are attentive to your needs. Children have the freedom to run around, play in the sandbox, and make lots of noise. There are no neighbors to be concerned with! Pets on approval. Smoking outside is fine.

About the host

Hosted by Leah Handley

Host profile image
Bob and Leah designed and built this home in 1999 for Bed and Breakfast. After running the business for a decade they took a hiatus to get their kids through school. Now with grandchildren around they are opening their home and heart to travelers again. They offer warm hospitality and easy atmosphere. Bob is a true Alaskan Sourdough having been in the state since he was 4. Leah is a transplant from Colorado who loves to pick berries and play in the kitchen. The family lives in the upstairs portion of this home and is available for the guest needs. Running a hospitality business comes naturally for them and some of their best family friends began as customers.

Why they chose this property

We love Homer. When we lived north of here we would come down for the weekends just for church! This property was a simple hillside when we bought it. After beginning dirt work we noticed that the Fiddlehead ferns would be crushed one day and begin sprouting the next. Fernwood Estates was named for these beautiful and indomitable plants. It has been a labor of love to build this place from the dirt up but it has been worth it. The setting is perfect.

What makes this property unique

The view fills my heart with joy. What an incredible privilege to wake up to it each morning. On top of that, we have some rather large birds that have claimed our house as their own. Seeing a bald eagle perched on the rooftop is the norm. Other wild animals like moose are frequent travelers through the yard.
We love the house. We designed it, built it, maintain it. The radiant floor heating is wonderful. The best feature is the many windows letting nature come in.
