About this property

SANDHILL COTTAGE- Secluded Retreat-In-The-Woods, Ocean Views, minutes to Homer!

Come and relax in a NEW cottage retreat! Very secluded, no visible neighbors...yet minutes to downtown Homer. This cottage is designed for a couple's getaway, a small family or up to six people if a couple of them are willing to sleep the couches. The feel is modern-chic with a lot of rustic wood touches. Designed and built by a local Homer craftsman specializing in artistic designs, this cottage has a charm that is both appealing to the eye, yet comfortable for the soul. The views over the Cook Inlet lead to the Alaska Range in the distance, with views of world famous Mount Augustine lighting up the skyline. Moose, lynx, and porcupine frequent the neighborhood, and the absence of city lighting leaves the skies clear and bright at night.
The master bedroom is ideal for a couple to enjoy their own privacy. The second "bedroom" has been purposely designed as an open space, with flexibility in the layout of accessory sleeping quarters for a larger group. Two single beds are separated by a fireplace, and the super-comfortable couch can be converted to two seperate beds...giving space for up to six people.
The bathroom has a spectacular design...and pictures alone can define that space!
This cottage is really meant for folks that want complete, secluded privacy in the northwoods of Alaska...yet want to enjoy the amazing amenities of Homer only a few minutes away...incredibly artistic food, world class views of the ocean and glaciers and mountains, and outdoors activities that truly makes Homer "America's #1 Wilderness Town"!

Home-base

What a cute wonderful home-base for our fishing trip to Homer. On a short 20 minute drive to the spit. The cabin was clean, cute, and quiet. Loved the surrounding nature and feeling away from it all.

Nice cozy place in the woods

Just outside of Homer, the cottage was reasonably priced, and perfect for the four of us. Very clean, and nice and quiet at night. Good communication with the owner, who was very responsive. We will definitely be back again !!!

Great little place

Very nicely appointed with easy access to Homer without the high price tag. The bed was a little hard so I’d warn of anyone with a bad back but other than that, everything else was great. Would definitely stay there again when coming to Homer. The owner was super easy to connect with and spelled everything out with ease. Thanks!

Homer Pottery Tour!

We had a blast visiting the potters. This cottage was the perfect landing place. A bit out of town and secluded, perfectly quiet and cozy. We both decided we'd love to visit again. It's small but could comfortably fit six! Lovely little spot.
