About this property
Repurposed Playhouse with room for 2!
A spot of rest along life's busy road. Stop at the Wayside to slow down, simplify and savor the rural beauty of Alaska. The cabin is a former playhouse made from mostly reclaimed materials. As a former playhouse, it has a very steep ladder to the sleeping area, with a distant view of the bay and mountains. There is no plumping ( no kitchen or indoor bathroom.) An outhouse is located behind the cabin - even it was moved and updated. There is a propane fire pit as well as an electric tea pot for heating water.
The tiny cabin is located just off East End Road in the Fritz Creek area, 8.5 miles East of Homer, Alaska.
We hope to add a second rental with indoor plumbing and small kitchen, by mid summer of 2024.
