About this property

Charming Up the Hill Cabin with spectacular views

Welcome to our charming Up the Hill cabin, just two miles from town. Enjoy birds-eye views of the bay, the Homer spit, glaciers, and mountains while you relax on the deck, Please be aware that there are 26 fairly steep steps up to the cabin to get that view. The cabin has a loft with a queen size bed and a fold-down futon in the living room. The kitchen includes a gas stove and a full-sized refrigerator, locally roasted coffee and a small drip coffee maker, toaster, all pots, pans, and utensils, and basic pantry items.

Up The Hill cabin will give you a taste of the true Alaska with all the modern conveniences: You'll have wi-fi and Netflix, and a gas grill on the deck that overlooks the spit, bay, and Grewink glacier. The cabin sits on 1.5 acres offering privacy for your stay. A car is required, and if you fly in from Anchorage rental cars are available at the airport. If you stay in the winter, a four-wheel-drive vehicle may be required to get up the driveway.

We live next door to the cabin and are available any time to make your stay more enjoyable. Many people fall in love with Homer after visiting and want to invest in their own place here. If you're one of them, I'm a licensed associate broker with Homer Real Estate and am available to help you find that perfect place.

This cabin was perfect! The location and view is incredible. Since I am obsessed with moose, I loved how close they came to the cabin. Our host was readily available if needed. We loved our stay!

Incredible view, difficult steps

The property has an amazing view of the mountains across the bay, and is a very cozy place. However, there was no warning about the steepness of the steps, both inside and outside and, most importantly, the difficulty of actually getting into bed. The roof upstairs (where the bed is) is raked so steeply that you have to hunch over around the edge of the bed to access it. Even then it is easy to hit one’s head . To use the bathroom at night you have to negotiate very steep and narrow steps Otherwise , a delightful small cabin.

Stunning view

Check in was easy and the host is a good communicator. The cabin is small, but tidy and well-appointed. Towels and linens were fresh and clean. The cabin is situated overlooking the Homer spit and has amazing views from the bedroom, living room and front deck. And it’s a short and easy drive into town.

We loved this place! Spectacular scenery with so much to do in the area and much wildlife to be observed! We did a half day kayak trip in Halibut Cove. We had wonderful guides and great weather. We also did a few hikes. Debbie was so friendly and an awesome host. Wish we would’ve stayed longer!
