Historic Kilcher Family Cabin on Seaside Farm, Homer Alaska
Large Cabin on historic 30 acre Seaside Farm in Homer Alaska with full kitchen, 2 bunks, 1 single bed and 1 queen bed.The best part is the beach access, you can walk right down a beautiful pathway through a songbird habitat to a 20 mile wilderness beach! Cottage has wood floor. Indoor cold running water. Personal outhouse. And access to all the indoor facilities and amenities in the main lodge just across the lawn. We have amazing views of clover filled pastures, mountains, three glaciers and the whole of Kachemak Bay. Gorgeous beach trails to our secluded, private beach, a communal campfire pit, Its a family friendly farm with horses, cows, chickens and pets. Owned by Mossy Kilcher, eldest of the pioneer Kilcher family. Close to Homer's shopping, galleries, fishing, whale watching, tour boats, birding opportunities. Visitors have remarked how much this place reminds them of their own "grandma's farm"!
Our farm is also a well known bird sanctuary and a perfect place to get to know Alaska's birds, see wildlife, otters, cranes, eagles, and beach comb along the peaceful 20 mile shore.

About the host
Hosted by Mossy Kilcher
I grew up the eldest of eight on a remote wilderness homestead --the famous Kilcher Homestead--in Homer, Alaska, back in the 40's. In 1976 I was finally able to purchase this little farm by the sea where I raise cattle, horses, chickens, a large raspberry patch, and enjoy giving bird walks and talks of the area.
What makes this property unique
This place has always been a farm! Also it is a well known birder's hotspot, with an abundance of songbirds, cranes, eagles, shorebirds and sea ducks along our shore. You can wake up to the singing of the hermit thrush and the chirping of the fox the lowing of cows in the distance and the whinnying of our two special Morgan horses, La Nina and Starlight! There are miles of beach to hike in total peace and privacy, to gather driftwood and take pictures. My hope is to leave this place safe and as a sanctuary for future generations and for the songbirds with whom I share this special and unique habitat!
