About this property
Husky Ranch-Glacier & Bay Views! Charming Home-Gentle Wilderness--Serenity
You'll feel the serenity of Alaskan country & wilderness beauty staying out of town on 10 acres! A full remodel and sunroom addition after a bad fire in 2023 is allowing this to become a dream home we are looking forward to share with guests! Large windows frame postcard worthy views! A charming 'country feel' inside with 2 bedrooms and a large sitting room upstairs provide ample room. The wrap-around deck outside hosts BBQ and views you'll remember long after you're gone. Located about 15 minutes from town, one of the perks is the incredible drive out East End Road! You see Homer from a whole different perspective as you climb up to 1400ft above the bay! There is Fritz Creek General Store for staples, gas, & liquor will hopefully be open for 2025 after a bad fire. Also, this is "Alaska: The Last Frontier" country as the Kilchers homestead is in the Fritz Creek area only a few miles from The Husky Ranch! There is a State Parks hiking trail within a half mile of the ranch or just enjoy your run the place! Wildflowers galore! The house is 1800sq ft. and sleeps 6; 1 king bed, 1 queen bed and a very comfy double futon. Wi-Fi, smart TV's, all amenities! Early in the season is referred to as 'break-up' and spring is still waking up but come mid June, watch out, the cranes land in the fields and moose frequently cruise through the yard! This once was a robust working sled dog ranch so keep your eye out for the old sleds that grace the property~Peaceful but gently wild~ Complete comfort for the soul and a tranquil spot in our "Cosmic Hamlet-by-the-Sea". Welcome~~!

About the host
Hosted by Lorraine Temple
I graduated from University California Santa Barbara in 1984 and decided to head north before returning to grad school. I came to Alaska and have since lived a rather colorful life as a dog musher, boat captain, fish buyer, commercial fisherman, tour guide and many years in tourism! Needless to say, I never got that graduate degree, but I can certainly tout that I have a degree in Alaskan lifestyle and all the riches that come with it! I hung up my harnesses 10 years ago and haven't run boats in longer than that, but I continue to do motivational presentations in schools across the US, mostly in the western states. I've been doing that for over 20 is good and whereas I've never been married or had children, I've had more than a few beaus and lots of 4 legged children including my beloved horses which I cherish and honor. My current boyfriend Mike and I just bought a house in Cooper Landing up in the mountains on the Kenai River where we run Kahtnu Spirit Lodging. I'll have puppies all summer there for you to play with! Happy trails~!
Why they chose this property
The Husky Ranch is a special spot on the planet that seems to attract the right people at the right time who need a certain newness to their life or a change or a deeper understanding of their connection to this great place called 'life'. The 10 acres was originally homesteaded in the 1950's and has only had one other owner besides myself. It was perfect for my dog mushing business which I did for 20 years as I could access the back country easily; now, there are homes in way and private property to navigate. It offers views that are the classic incredible Homer views with the twist that it is closer to the head of the bay and therefore, feels like you are closer to the glaciers and alp like mountains on the edge of the Harding Icefield. It is a precious piece of land that I get to share with those guests that want to get a little further away from town and experience Alaska a little deeper. Namaste.
What makes this property unique
Entire house to yourself with views that will remain a lifetime with you! Kachemak Bay, the Chugach Mountain Range that drip with glaciers will mesmerize you and make you feel the authentic Alaska experience! You will feel at home with all the amenities supplied to make your stay comfortable, clean and quiet.
