Cranes’ Rest is a cozy Homer family home tucked into a peaceful, tree-lined setting about 1.5 miles from downtown. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 7 beds, and room for up to 9 guests, it is a comfortable home base for families, fishing trips, wedding guests, and Homer getaways.

Big south-facing windows fill the house with Alaska light, and the open living, dining, and kitchen areas make it easy for everyone to gather without feeling crowded. The large deck is made for slow mornings, coffee, sunshine, and quiet evenings after a day exploring Homer. You get the best of both worlds: a calm green setting with quick access to downtown Homer, the Spit, restaurants, galleries, beaches, trails, and local activities.

Inside, the home has a warm, practical layout with space to cook, relax, visit, and rest. The kitchen is set up for real meals, the living room has plenty of comfortable seating, and the bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements for groups and families. Whether you are coming for fishing, a family visit, a wedding, a summer vacation, or a quiet Alaska reset, Cranes’ Rest gives you room to land and enjoy Homer at an easier pace.

You will often see eagles, cranes, and float planes overhead, and the yard and deck give the home a relaxed Alaska feel without being far from town. It is not a hotel or a luxury resort. It is a loved, comfortable Homer home with character, natural light, and space for people to be together.

Please note that this is an upper-level home with a separate lower unit. A long-term tenant lives below with a private entrance. Guests have private use of the rental space, but we ask everyone to be mindful of heavy footsteps and late-night noise.

The nightly rate includes up to 7 guests. Groups of 8 or 9 may include an additional guest fee to help cover added laundry, supplies, cleaning time, and wear. Local taxes are included in the nightly rate and are remitted according to local requirements.

    What a fabulous place to stay and we’ve gained a new friend in the host Leah. Of all our trips, we have placed this on top. Could not have asked for better. Thank you again so much for the hospitality.

    Really enjoyed this house for our family trip to Homer. We had 4 kids and 4 adults, and there was plenty of room for all. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the extra towels and that laundry was available. The yard was nice, the kids ran around and it was really close to town and the main highway. The house was clean and well stocked. Could have used 1 more frying pan, but other than that is was great! Thanks again!

    We enjoyed the big backyard with the pups, the sunny porch and big dining table with our 8 friends from Colorado and Minnesota, Palmer and Anchorage! A larger cook pot could be nice for cooking for a big group but lots of other cooking supplies. We had great fishing and wonderful weather!!

    A well-appointed cabin/home with everything we needed for our one month stay. Leah was a wonderful host and quickly responded to our questions. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by green - trees, lawn and a beautiful deck. The kitchen has all the basics and then some. The laundry facilities are great and the bedrooms suited us very well. Homer is such a gorgeous natural setting for adventures. We couldn’t be happier with our visit.
