Welcome to our Timberframe AK Retreat, a stunning Alaskan escape infused with charm throughout the home and landscape.

This spacious and thoughtfully designed retreat offers plenty of room for relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories. The open-concept kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring multiple prep stations, allowing family and friends to cook together with ease. Gather around for lively meals, sharing stories and laughter in the heart of the home.

Lounge and unwind in multiple cozy spaces — whether it’s the inviting living area, the serene upstairs library, or the whimsical kid’s nook. The unique turret offers two distinct seating areas, perfect for curling up with a book or soaking in the breathtaking mountain views.

The master suite is a true sanctuary, boasting a luxurious bathroom designed for ultimate comfort. Step outside to a large private yard with a fire pit, outdoor games, and garden space. Relax on the deck or around the fire pit, taking in the peaceful surroundings under the endless Alaskan sky.


~Wildlife:

Our 8-acre property offers a unique opportunity to explore and witness Alaska's remarkable wildlife up close. While walking the property, keep an eye out for moose and their calves, eagles, cranes, and occasionally bears. Remember, wildlife is in the area, so stay vigilant. When exploring nearby wooded areas, talk loudly or make noise to alert wildlife of your presence. Never approach or confront any animals.

~Extras:

We have strawberry plants, blueberry, raspberry bushes and rhubarb plants on the property. If you see berries, or rhubarb that are ripe and are calling your name, please help yourself :)

Conveniently located in Anchor Point, just 2 miles from the beach and world-class fishing, and only 14 miles from Homer, this retreat is the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.

Whether you're here for adventure or relaxation, Timberframe AK Retreat welcomes you to experience the best of Alaska in comfort and style.

The whole house is available for use. We have closed off the garage and utility/boiler room.

Simply said, this home is fantastic. The hosts were quick to return messages and everything was described perfectly. The home is incredibly close to river fishing at Anchor river or ocean fishing out of Homer. Thank you again for all your hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Daphane Maxon

Host profile image
I first came to Alaska as a toddler when my family homesteaded near Tok, and although we left for a time, I returned at 15 and have called Alaska home ever since. Gordon was born and raised here, and together, we share a deep love for this incredible state. We feel fortunate to live in such a peaceful and beautiful place, and we enjoy opening our homes to others so they can experience the serenity and natural wonder that make Anchor Point so special. Our two vacation homes reflect the heart of this area—and we’re honored to share them with guests from near and far.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for its peaceful setting, stunning views, and its perfect balance of country charm with close proximity to Homer. Just a short drive away, it offers the quiet we love while still keeping us near the conveniences of town. The neighborhood has a wonderful, down-to-earth feel—families, kids, and friendly neighbors with horses, chickens, rabbits, and dogs all add to the sense of community. While we do have neighbors, each home sits on generous acreage (approximately 8 acres), so you’ll enjoy plenty of space and privacy—it’s not a subdivision with homes close together. It’s a place where you can truly relax and feel at home.

What makes this property unique

Our Timber frame Retreat is a one-of-a-kind blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and Alaskan character. The home’s stunning timber construction creates a warm, rustic atmosphere while showcasing the artistry of exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. Thoughtfully decorated with a mix of local history, native art, and boho charm, the space feels both inviting and inspiring.

Guests often say it’s the little touches — like the cozy upstairs library with a foosball table, kid’s nook, and turret seating area with breathtaking views—that truly set our retreat apart. Outside, you’ll find a peaceful garden seating area with a rustic waterfall crafted from shovel heads once used by my father on his property, adding a meaningful and unique touch.

The expansive yard offers plenty of space to relax and play, featuring a cozy fire pit area—perfect for gathering with family and friends, roasting marshmallows, or enjoying a glass of wine under the stars—along with games like cornhole and a fun, family-friendly hatchet throwing game (using rubber hatchets and a durable bristle target). Whether you’re sitting on the deck enjoying a good book, visiting with friends and family, or simply taking in the surrounding nature, the setting invites you to slow down and unwind.

For those who enjoy staying active, we offer handheld weights, yoga mats, an elliptical machine, and a treadmill. For fishing and outdoor enthusiasts, we provide a selection of rubber boots to borrow, along with fishing poles, a cooler, and a picnic basket to make your adventures even more enjoyable.

Surrounded by nature, with room to roam and opportunities to spot wildlife like moose or cranes, it’s the perfect blend of peaceful escape and authentic Alaskan experience.
