Glacier View Getaway the Kilcher Family Homestead in Alaska the last frontier

All of the below remains pretty much on target. Your adventure awaits.. see update at end.

This private and cozy guest log cabin awaits you with awesome views of Kachemak Bay and pristine glaciers, abundant wildlife and a ribbon of hiking and cross-country skiing trails through the peaceful Kilcher Family Homestead. It is a great place to get away from it all after a long day of fishing, to curl up with a great book, complete an art project or just relish the quiet serenity (in this case in early mornings and late afternoon/evening).

Glacier View Getaway is fully equipped with everything you will need to make your stay enjoyable including a full-size kitchen, kitchenware and linens. There are two comfortable bedrooms, Jacuzzi bath, dishwasher, propane stove, washer and dryer, deck furniture and propane grill.

Magical Stay!
We enjoyed Glacier View and the Kilcher homestead immensely! The property is just magical from the walk down to the beach to picnic or the evening campfires with amazing views. Catkins cabin has everything needed and she is a gracious and entertaining host. This was our family's favorite part of our Alaska trip and are already planning a return stay. Don't hesitate to see Alaska's splendor and the amazing Kilcher Homestead!

We loved Glacier View! It had more than we needed. So nice to come back from fishing and hiking to such an amazing house. The views were nonstop and we saw moose every evening and one night a bear walked casually through the yard eating. Catkin was great to talk with and helpful! Would love to spend an entire week there! It’s perfect!!

Just a beautiful property. Amazing views! We saw whales in the bay, eagles, and moose right out our door. Immaculate inside. Loved the rustc log cabin feel. Futon couch could be replaced with a regular sofa. Mattress in Master could be replaced. But this would not stop me from staying here again.Loved every minute!

Indescribable
The awesomeness of the location cant be put in to words. The Cabin was warm and very clean and better equipped than any rental we have ever been in. For example, there is both a charcoal and a propane grill. All the cooking tools and dinnerware you wold ever need, even a nut cracker for your crab. Catkin and her husband were very sweet and helpful, even when I called late in the evening. Again, the views are spectacular and seeing moose grazing on the property became 'old hat'. The property is private, so it's your own little slice of paradise.

Beautiful vistas in a secluded and gorgeous location
This is a very special place to stay. Cabin was well provisioned and very comfortable. The views of Katchemak Bay are breathtaking. It is located on a large historic and intact homestead which is also still a family-run farm. We saw moose, a bear, and sandhill cranes on property. Also, there is a mile or so hike down through the property to a very lovely beach without another soul in sight. Catkin is a very welcoming host. She makes sure her guests are comfortable and have the information they want about area. Highly recommend if you want to stay near Homer but don’t want to be in town! It is an authentic Alaskan experience!

Absolutely Spectacular!
We took a few days getaway down to Homer from Anchorage and enjoy being on the East End for the seclusion and views. This was our first time staying on the Kilcher homestead and it’d be really tough to beat how amazing this cabin is, the hospitality from Catkin and Tom is, and how unreal the views are. We are already planning our early summer trip down!

The views never got old! We lucked out with beautiful evenings to have dinner on the deck. Our boys loved the large yard to run around in and we highly recommend making the trek down to the beach. The cabin was well outfitted with everything we needed and very clean! We had a wonderful stay and would love to visit again someday!

Glacier view heaven
This property is everything you see on this site . Charming, clean and everything you need to prepare your meals. The views are breathtaking, glaciers, mountains, moose . Also your host is just a call away should you need anything. We do recommend the Kiltcher museum tour, very interesting. Also take the walk to the beach, challenging but oh when you get there it’s awesome. Highly recommend

Peaceful wilderness retreat!
Our family of 5 enjoyed Glacier View cabin immensely. The cabin was as described and better yet. Thoughtfully appointed and clean, we enjoyed our 3-night getaway on the Kilcher Homestead property. We all loved watching the mama moose with her two calves feed in the field in the early morning and late evening. It’s was a perfect opportunity to slow down in the midst of our 2 week family road trip. We hope to return again someday.

We had a wonderful time at the Glacier View rental. The location and view cannot be beat. A moose and two calves even strolled through the front yard as we were unpacking our car. My only complaint is that we didn't have more time to spend there, relaxing and soaking up the views.
