Pioneer & Veterans Lodge, Kilcher Homestead, Alaska The Last Frontier

The cabin was beautiful. It has $1 million dollar views of Kachemak Bay! We were there for a super moon and it was fabulous! Catkin and her husband Tom were super hosts - very responsive to text messages and phone calls. They stopped by a couple of times to check on us. The walk back up from the beach is no joke! Be prepared! But it's worth it.

The homestead is breathtaking! The views from every window and every deck are absolutely gorgeous. The house had everything we needed and more. Perfect vacation!

We all were amazed at the view as we drove in! It is breathtaking! We had a moose run through the property was one of the highlights! The master bedroom has a view that’s unbelievable. Everything about the property was exceptional. Catkin was the best hostess and did a lot of extras for us. Thank you!

We loved every bit of our stay, Catkin was amazing, the views were breathtaking and the serenity unmatched! My only qualm was that we didn’t stay longer!!

House was beautiful

We had a lovely stay here. We felt very welcomed by our host, Catkin, and all fell in love with the gorgeous views and the expansive property. The master bedroom is amazing and our kids loved having their own little space downstairs. The kitchen was well-supplied and it had a great living room where all 8 of us were able to relax and enjoy our time together.

The location is perfect. The cabin is comfortable. What really made it even more special is how kind and accommodating Catkin was for our group. We were three dads taking our 17 year old sons fishing and exploring Alaska. Catkin not only shared her cabin with us but also some of her story. Don’t miss watching the DVD at the cabin showing the early years of the homestead. So much history. We also enjoyed the walk down to the beach and back. The only recommendation I make is whoever is staying in the master bedroom might want to take along an eye mask since the room with its expansive windows overlooking the bay and the glacier do not (nor should they) have window treatments. It doesn’t get very dark in that one room until around 1:30-2:00 am. I had no problem sleeping. But someone might find it harder to fall asleep with so much light coming in the room. Catkin thank you so much for your hospitality. I hope I can come back again soon!

This place is just breathtaking! We just fell in love with it. Perfect for families, lots of room to spread out. Host very communicative, and cool to come by to tell family stories. We thoroughly enjoyed being on the homestead. The mama moose and baby in the yard was a definite bonus!Could use some more darkening curtains in master suite as the 18 hours of sun was hard to get rest in. Thanks for a memorable stay.

My wife and i stayed a week along with other family members. We had an amazing time. The view is amazing to say the least. Catkin an Tom were fine hosts.Home was clean and everything worked. Truly a fine crafted log home. Highly recommend

We loved our stay at Eagles rest! We've stayed with Catkin before and always enjoy our time. The home is beautiful & the view is amazing. We saw moose in our backyard & sandhill cranes in the front yard. This is our favorite place to stay in Alaska & we will be back again! Highly recommend!

excellent! Most beautiful view in Homer

View was amazing. Hoast was great. The house was clean and well maintained. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful property surrounded by wilderness with incredible views of Kachemak Bay. The owners are very engaged and helpful. Check-in and check-out procedures were easy. Indoor and outdoor spaces easy accomodated our large family. It felt like a home away from home.

Will be back next time in Alaska. Beautiful views! Great host!

Fabulous place to rest from the flights to AK.

Stay was great, everything went well. Beautiful location

We absolutely loved everything about our stay. Catkin is an awesome host!

We absolutely loved this beautiful cabin. The location is breathtaking and the views are incredible. You will love the craftsmanship of the cabin, the welcoming feeling and the opportunity to experience living on the homestead. It was very close to Homer & the Homer Spit. The vrbo communication was great. It was such a positive experience staying here and I highly recommend it. Thank you.

The place was great. Tom was very helpful and nice.

There were 8 of us staying on the property and we had plenty of room, beautiful views, and moose in the yard. It is a short ride to town, but nothing too far. The place was clean and shown as advertised. I wish we had more time at the property to do some exploring, but our travel plans changed due to weather and didn't get the chance. We did get to sit on the deck with the sun shining and enjoyed the view.

Beautiful home on a beautiful property. The views are fabulous, we saw a Moose everyday. Comfortable beds, a very nice kitchen, all in all a perfect place to stay!
