Wow! What a property! Have traveled to Homer many times and have stayed many places. This property will be put on our favorites list! Felt right at home and the view can’t be beat! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
beautiful house with awesome views - really amazing! House was very clean & owner very communicative- appreciate all the amenities supplied in the house - thank you. I would definitely cone back here again!
This property is amazing. Location, location, location... Beautiful views even in the rain. I loved how well stocked like tissues in every room. The decks are everywhere... There was nothing you wanted or needed. The hostesses were great, friendly, and always willing to help. We love Homer to begin with so this was such a bonus to stay here. We will be back. One thing that needed to be stated is there are so many stairs. If you have any problems you might have trouble climbing them, But worth it.. Enjoy your day thanks for a great stay!!!
Maggie's place is an excellent place to stay in Homer. The kitchen was stocked nicely, the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable, and the outdoor space and views were spectacular. Would stay again if we are in the Homer area.
The house was really nice and super clean with beautiful views of Kachemak Bay! It was well stocked with everything we needed. The grill was even clean, which was great. We definitely would stay there again if we are back in Homer.

Stunning views of mountains across Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet. Spacious home, beautiful kitchen and decks. Really a nice place to stay.
We loved our 5 night stay in this very private, large home. Great views, saw a moose and her calf in the neighbor's yard, comfortable beds and great kitchen (with sharp knives, a rarity for rentals!) Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Homer.
This was our second stay at Heather View. In addition to the million dollar view of Kachemak Bay and across Cook Inlet, the house is beautiful. Great kitchen, nice bedrooms and decks. We also really enjoyed the fire pit. This is a beautiful property and a great host.
Perfect location for a family. Very spacious. Between the three floors, giant yard, and balconies, everyone can have their own space. Well stocked kitchen. Amazing views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, house was stocked with everything we needed. A short drive to grocery store and shops. Nature Center nearby was great as was the guided tour.

The House and property was better than described and convenient to everything in Homer without being too close. We greatly enjoyed our stay and Maggie’s hospitality. We even got to see a mom and baby moose at midnight just outside the door one night.
This place was everything I’d hoped it would be. Very comfortable for two couples and the views from the windows and balcony were incredible. I would definitely stay there again if we ever make it back to Homer which we also loved.
