Welcome to our charming Up the Hill cabin, just two miles from town. Enjoy birds-eye views of the bay, the Homer spit, glaciers, and mountains while you relax on the deck, Please be aware that there are 26 fairly steep steps up to the cabin to get that view. The cabin has a loft with a queen size bed and a fold-down futon in the living room. The kitchen includes a gas stove and a full-sized refrigerator, locally roasted coffee and a small drip coffee maker, toaster, all pots, pans, and utensils, and basic pantry items.

Up The Hill cabin will give you a taste of the true Alaska with all the modern conveniences: You'll have wi-fi and Netflix, and a gas grill on the deck that overlooks the spit, bay, and Grewink glacier. The cabin sits on 1.5 acres offering privacy for your stay. A car is required, and if you fly in from Anchorage rental cars are available at the airport. If you stay in the winter, a four-wheel-drive vehicle may be required to get up the driveway.

We live next door to the cabin and are available any time to make your stay more enjoyable. Many people fall in love with Homer after visiting and want to invest in their own place here. If you're one of them, I'm a licensed associate broker with Homer Real Estate and am available to help you find that perfect place.

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The views were absolutely fantastic—high on the hill overlooking the Homer Spit and the airport, with nothing blocking the scenery. It was easy to get to from town, and the property itself was a quaint, cozy little place.The cabin was very clean upon arrival, check-in was simple, and the owner was friendly and welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked with equipment, making it convenient for meals, and the heater kept the space warm and comfortable.As mentioned in the listing, the stairs are steep, but we expected that and had no issues. The loft area does have low ceilings, so taller guests should keep that in mind.Overall, this was a great stay at a fair price. We would happily return and recommend it to others looking for a peaceful spot with amazing views.

    The view is spectacular! The kitchen is well stocked with items left behind by others, I suspect. We had no trouble preparing a meal that we enjoyed on the deck. The stairs to the loft are so much better than a ladder would be but still tricky for old stiff knees and ankles. This is a great rustic cabin.

    The cabin was clean, well equipped and everything it was advertised to be. The hosts were very accommodating, allowing us to arrive early. The view was fantastic, and it was a short drive to town. I highly recommend this as a place to stay.

    The view of the Greningk Glacier and Kenai mts was spectacular and the place was charming and had all we needed (including 4 cans of bear spray!). Loved sitting on the deck and proximity to The Spit.The street appeal could be taken up a notch (plywood underneath is first thing you see). And the loft ceiling is pretty low. Otherwise lovely!

    The view is amazing. Place was clean and well stocked for our needs. Property manager was available and helpful. Would recommend staying here. Only issue was low ceilings over the bed, mind your head.

    The property has an amazing view of the mountains across the bay, and is a very cozy place. However, there was no warning about the steepness of the steps, both inside and outside and, most importantly, the difficulty of actually getting into bed. The roof upstairs (where the bed is) is raked so steeply that you have to hunch over around the edge of the bed to access it. Even then it is easy to hit one’s head . To use the bathroom at night you have to negotiate very steep and narrow steps Otherwise , a delightful small cabin.

    This cabin was perfect! The location and view is incredible. Since I am obsessed with moose, I loved how close they came to the cabin. Our host was readily available if needed. We loved our stay!

    cabin was very clean and had everything you need. The view was amazing! Almost daily moose strolling by yard or sleeping around cabin. Easy access to everything Homer has to offer. I could easily live there permanently. Host brought me fresh eggs from her chickens. Absolutely Wonnderful!

    The deck and stairs should be improved to make it safer. I would not recommend it for little children.

    Peaceful and beautiful, close to town, yet has the country feel! Has one of the best views of the spit and bay.
