This was our second stay at Heather View. In addition to the million dollar view of Kachemak Bay and across Cook Inlet, the house is beautiful. Great kitchen, nice bedrooms and decks. We also really enjoyed the fire pit. This is a beautiful property and a great host.
Perfect location for a family. Very spacious. Between the three floors, giant yard, and balconies, everyone can have their own space. Well stocked kitchen. Amazing views!
The House and property was better than described and convenient to everything in Homer without being too close. We greatly enjoyed our stay and Maggie’s hospitality. We even got to see a mom and baby moose at midnight just outside the door one night.
The home was great. Very clean and well equipped kitchen. Our only suggestion would be to put a queen sized bed in the guest bedroom and a king sized bed in the master. Maggie is a great host. You will love staying here.
This place was everything I’d hoped it would be. Very comfortable for two couples and the views from the windows and balcony were incredible. I would definitely stay there again if we ever make it back to Homer which we also loved.
We loved our 5 night stay in this very private, large home. Great views, saw a moose and her calf in the neighbor's yard, comfortable beds and great kitchen (with sharp knives, a rarity for rentals!) Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Homer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, house was stocked with everything we needed. A short drive to grocery store and shops. Nature Center nearby was great as was the guided tour.
This is simply the best property we’ve ever stayed in through VRBO! Amazing home, views, and host!
The host had wonderful communication and showed thoughtful preparation for our arrival and stay.
Close to Homer and all the places and things the area has to offer.
Stop looking and book this property!
wonderful place, wonderful host. worth every penny.

Incredibly beautiful and well maintained. Maggie keeps it stocked with many of the everyday items you need. Million dollar views of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet. Remote, peaceful and awesome. We hope to be back.
This was a repeat stay for us. We just love the house and the views of the deck are incredible. And then there's Maggie...the best host every she is so accommodating with any request. We will definitely be back again we just fell in love with Homer.
Maggie Burns the owner was awesome. A group of four of us fishermen stayed five days, self-catered ,and enjoyed having the two and one-half bathrooms. Of course the views from the decks were magnificent.
The property was fantastic. Actually the photos on web did not do it justice. It was a beautiful home, nicely built. Three bedrooms and three baths. we'll rent it again in the future, for sure.

Honeymoon Retreat
Maggie and The Captain, we cannot thank you enough for opening your home to us. This property is perfect. From the comfortable master bed to the expansive well stocked kitchen, the breathtaking views and serene location, we truly could have not chose a better place to stay. Thank you so much for making our wedding and honeymoon so memorable. We hope to return one day as either out of towners or locals.
The whole process of checking in and out as well as communication before and during the trip with Maggie was seemless! We would highly recommend this stay! We really enjoyed our morning coffee and evening wine from either outdoors on the deck or indoors from the dining room, livingroom, and master bedroom. We even saw 3 moose- 1 coming right into the yard! It was the perfect Alaskan Getaway! The location was ideal from Homer- super easy access to get into town, yet in the country with the more secluded feel.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Homer in the Burn's home. The fireweed was in bloom and was beautiful overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed eating on the deck and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. And Maggie ordered perfect weather for us!!! The kitchen is very well designed and fun to cook in. The accomodations were great. Looking forward to next year.

Awesome, stunning view
We enjoy our yearly stay at Maggie's. She is quite a gracious hostess. Her home has a beautiful kitchen... and deck with grill.... overlook of the valley is so peaceful. We were graced with good weather and fun times fishing and lounging and enjoying family. The firepit begs for smores!!!! Yum. Thanks Maggie for allowing us to experience such happy times.

When my wife and I booked the house the dozens of 5 star reviews did sway us. Sadly, I cannot give it the 6 stars which it deserves. Beautiful house, wants for nothing, and you feel at home immediatley.
The photos of the views look good, but when you are there they are stunning. Homer itself is small and all the local people we met were very friendly. Discovered a lot about fish, wildlife and coastal conservation and was surprised how little we knew before. Even saw a Moose in the car park of the Homer Bookstore !! Wonderful place to visit and Maggie is the perfect host, available as often or as little as you want. Would love to return.
