Relatively new, beautiful, Scandinavian-influenced, cozy, 360 sq ft one-room cabin/cottage -- a tiny house-- is modern, with all of the amenities needed for your perfect weekend getaway or week-long stay in Homer. Located next to the owners' house, tucked away from the road, on an acre and a half in a subdivision overlooking Homer, the views are fabulous of Kachemak Bay, Cook Inlet, and the volcanoes. Few places in Homer have views of both Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet. Hardwood floors and Jøtul wood (gas) stove give the cabin a warm and cozy feeling. Majestic large windows bring the views into the cabin.

The cabin is consistent with the tiny house concept, providing everything you need efficiently in a small space. Beautifully decorated with a modern, Scandinavian design.

The one-room cabin sleeps two in a queen-sized bed. The luxurious cotton sheets, down pillows and comforter make this bed truly comfortable.

Ask about the possibility for extra guests. The cabin accommodates two people comfortably. We have a Pack-and-Play for your baby or toddler, two thick foam twin mattresses. An extra fee of $40 per stay per person is charged for more than two people. Upon approval, one to two guests may stay in the loft, which has a queen-size mattress. Guests in the loft must be able to climb a ladder and be fairly young and hearty. Please inquire for details. No children under seven in the loft.

The kitchen is fully-equipped with a two-burner stove, a small, mini- refrigerator with freezer under the counter, microwave, counter-top oven, coffee pot, and electric tea kettle. All of the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils you need are provided. Any spices you need are available--just ask! And ask if you need anything else. There is no dishwasher and no washer/dryer. There is a laurdry mat in Homer.

There is a full bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet. The dining room table seats six people comfortably.

SAUNA: Helen lived in Finland for two years and we are sauna enthusiasts. For an extra fee of $40 you can take a sauna--as good, or better, than any sauna you will find in Finland. We have a Finnish wood Harvia stove and beautiful cedar walls. The sauna is part of the cabin building so you just step out of the front door. Upon pre-approval, we will warm the sauna up for you--we just need three hours advance notice and a discussion with you. Towels are provided. Guests are not allowed to warm up the sauna themselves.

Sadly, the sandhill cranes have not returned to the nesting area for two years. In other locations, they can be seen from May into September, except when they are nesting in late June and early July. Sandhill cranes can be seen overhead, walking along the street, or strolling in Homer. Moose are regularly seen year-round walking through the property or in the neighborhood as well as eagles perched in the trees by the cabin. A walk on the streets in the neighborhood and an undeveloped subdivision offers majestic views of Kachemak Bay. When you are ready to walk the beach, go out to eat, get some groceries, or explore Homer, it is a short drive to downtown Homer (3 miles) and another ten minutes to the Homer Spit and Harbor for fishing, kayaking, and boating or bike riding on the Homer Spit Trail.

We have WiFi and good cellular coverage in the cabin—most days. There is no TV.

Take your breakfast or dinner outside on the deck to enjoy the spectacular views and at some times of the year fantastic sunsets over Cook Inlet with views of the volcanoes.

Coffee and teas, sugar, and honey are provided for your convenience.

Pets are no longer allowed.

WE WELCOME ALL PEOPLE regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, political viewpoints, religion, and all LGBTQIA+.

    We had a lovely stay and enjoyed Homer very much. The drive to the spit was only about 10 minutes and very scenic, with multiple sightings of moose and other wildlife. The hosts were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Will stay again if I get the chance to visit Homer.

    We recently spent a week in Homer visiting our son and had a wonderful stay. Helen was a fantastic host—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and just right for what my husband and I needed.The only thing to note is that the fridge is a smaller, hotel-style unit, but we managed just fine and it didn’t take away from the overall experience.We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Helen, for making our visit so enjoyable.

    We greatly enjoyed our stay! Everything was provided for such as kitchen utensils, towels, toiletries, dinnerware & pots/pans. For the females, there was a hair dryer & makeup removal wipes. The views of downtown Homer, the bay & mountains was fantastic! On a clear day, you can even see a glacier from the backyard. Upon visiting Homer, we would consider staying again at the cabin.

    We had a wonderful 4 night stay in Helen's cabin - cozy, clean, comfortable! Loved the deck with the spectacular views of Kachemak Bay, perfect for morning coffee and evening wine (weather permitting!). The owner's live on the property, but the set-up affords lots of privacy. Helen greeted us upon our arrival. She was welcoming and full of helpful tips for us first timers to Homer. My only suggestion would be to add a place to unpack clothes - there isn't a closet or dresser. This was minor, however, as everything else was fabulous. If we get back to Homer, we will definitely stay again!

    My husband & I were visiting Homer to go back to my childhood home in Anchor Point. We decided to rent VRBO & found this charming little studio! It was perfect, so clean, and the decor made us feel like we were in Alaska & Nordic country!! It had all the creature comforts of home including Coffee & Tea!! Our host Helen was so sweet & accommodating even before we got there! If you’re looking for a little gem in the hills above Homer w/stunning views of Kachemak Bay & a darling little patio to sit & watch the sunset (sort of) lol. The Sandhill Crane Cabin is for you!! Mahalo for such a great stay!!

    The host was extremely thoughtful, quick to answer, gave great directions, and was happy to help with any issues we had during our stay. The cabin was spotless and very comfortable; easy to use; notes are posted in helpful places; the notebook if full of maps and local info. The cabin is just next to the main house but we never felt that our privacy was infringed upon; it felt safe, private, and close enough for them to run over and reset the wifi. Plenty of quality dishes, cooking items, linens, bedding, and appliances; no oven but a cooktop and a nice baking/toaster oven, microwave, and minifridge. We would love to stay again!

    This was a very clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated lodging and a refuge after busy days in Homer with a pretty view of the sunset, the water, and snowy peaks. The hosts were friendly, but not hovering. They knew much about the area, and had spot-on suggestions for us as well as organized binders of info to peruse at our pace.
