About the host

Hosted by Janet Erikson Papinaw

Host profile image
The Twin Puffins is co-0wned by the eight Erikson siblings, who together form Erikson Heritage, LLC. While the majority of the siblings have established residences outside of Alaska, several remain in the state year-round. This diverse arrangement allows for both remote and on-site management in the property's operations.
Some siblings manage the short-term rental property remotely, traveling to Alaska as needed, particularly during the peak rental season to provide on-site oversight. This flexible approach has enabled effective management despite the geographic dispersion of the owners.
Beginning with the 2026 season, Janet -who is the sixth of eight siblings, was born in Seldovia (across Kachemak Bay) alongside her twin brother- will take over the management responsibilities for The Twin Puffins. Her leadership will guide the property's operations for the forseeable future.

Why they chose this property

The site for the The Twin Puffins was carefully selected to maximize the natural beauty of its surroundings and ensure an exceptional experience for visitors. Its placement offers stunning views of Kachemak Bay, Kenai Mountains and the Harding Ice Fields. The location is designed to provide a sense of seclusion without feeling isolated. The wide open surroundings offer privacy, yet the property remains conveniently close to Homer, providing a wide variety of activities for the entire family.

What makes this property unique

The Erikson family has a rich history rooted in their homestead property, which has been part of their legacy for nearly a century. In 2003, the Erikson children inherited the homestead, ensuring its continued place within the family. Recognizing the importance of maintaining this connection, they took a significant step in 2006 by constructing the Twin Puffins Vacation Rental Cabin on the property. This venture was created specifically to help preserve the homestead for future generations. The Erikson family ties to Alaska runs deep, with an impressive 95 years of continual residency in the State. This endurance presence highlights their longstanding commitment to the land and their community, making the homestead not just a family property, but a testament to their Alaskan heritage.
