Fantastic !
We loved the property and the view. The weather helped as we had a G& T or two each evening looking over the bay. Inside was fantastic with a really comfortable bed. It is the best accommodation we have stayed in in Alaska. Loved having a gas BBQ, hope I was able to Kleen it enough. You have our email, if you ever make it to Perth give us a call, we'd love to meet you. Regards, Graham and Linda Cragg

Homer stay
Very clean. Nice gardens. Very close to town. Bonus was the 4 sandhill cranes that flew into the yard and hung out for awhile. Good place for a quick overnight stay connecting with other plans.

Great location and views
Great 1 bedroom house with beautiful views close to downtown and the Spit. We had a wonderful stay. The host was super responsive and the accommodations were exceptionally clean and comfortable. We were visited each morning by a beautiful crane

About the host

Hosted by Kit & Phyllis Barnett

Host profile image
Phyllis was born and raised in Homer where her parents owned and ran the Inlet Trading Post, now the Bunnell Street Arts Center. Kit hails from Scotland where he worked as a groundskeeper and gardener. His expertise has been a great boon to the Homer property! Recently retired from their lives of working in Bush Alaska during the winter months, Phyllis as a teacher, and Kit on the Maintenance & Operations crew, but always returning to Homer in the summer to enjoy fishing, gardening, hiking, and boating with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

The property, with its close proximity to town and the high school, its views and homey feel was the perfect location to raise a family. The home was purchased from the original owners and builders, Paul and Phyllis Banks who had raised their family here. 'The house has always had the feel of a home, it is comfortably cozy with wonderful light and the classic Homer views. This is what we want to share with visitors - a great place to stay while visiting and enjoying the delights of my home town.' ---Phyllis

What makes this property unique

Kit is constantly working on the grounds surrounding the home. It is an ever evolving mix of the practical and the beautiful, the groomed and the wild. Shooting Stars and Lady Slippers explode in the Spring; Poppies, Delphiniums, and Sitka Roses grace the gardens in midsummer; in August, raspberry bushes are loaded with berries.

The entry door for the Garden Apartment opens onto a garden of strawberries and Forget-me-not flowers while large white Pushki flowers crowd around the perimeter of the property.

All of this is set against the blues of the Kachemak Bay waters and Kenai Mountain's snow-capped peaks.
