About this property
Moose Meadows near Kilcher Homestead in Alaska the Last Frontier
Only a short drive off the main road, you’ll enjoy privacy in a secluded setting. With new beds, mattresses and furniture, this is a lovely two-level cabin, hand-built by Homer homesteaders with recent renovations completed in 2015. Moose Meadows has three cozy upstairs bedrooms, a modern kitchen, fully equipped for all your cooking desires, with a fully remodeled bathroom with bath and shower. The wildlife in the immediate area is abundant, with moose, eagles, sandhill cranes, porcupines and many others. The cabin is sited privately with a large private yard, view of the bay, and a virgin wilderness behind. From the cabin, you can see beautiful Kachemak Bay and the mountains across the way. The cabin provides modern features, has ample space and is a beautiful spot for a family to stretch out and use as a base of operations to explore Homer and Kachemak Bay. This cabin sits alone on a 3 acre plot 12 miles out East End road but has ready access on a graveled road, and is close to the amenities in the Fritz Creek area (gas, groceries, spirits), a world-class restaurant, and horse-back riding. In the beautiful town of Homer are halibut and salmon fishing, the Pratt Museum, galleries, restaurants, groceries, ATV tours, kayaking, music/theater, glacier/bear viewing, air tours and much, much more. The cabin is within walking distance of a historic site of rich significance, the Kilcher Homestead, where I grew up in an austere 400 square foot homesteaders cabin that you’ll want to visit. Easy access to the Kilcher Family Homestead provides over 600 acres in which to hike through to the beach via one of only three beach access sites outside of Homer.

It was like home. Very clean, comfortable but secluded which is like us at home. Close enough to Homer for us to travel. Enjoyed riding the roads and looking at the scenery.
The cabin is well stocked and taken care of. Sitting outside on the deck was quiet and peaceful. The cabin even lived up to its name. We came back on our last evening to find two cow moose and one calf just off the deck. It was a perfect ending.
The cottage was perfect for our needs. We loved the privacy yet close to town. The evenings on the deck were so relaxing. Had everything we needed to cook and do laundry. Would stay again in the future. Catkin was very easy to work with when I messed up our dates.
We absolutely loved our stay. The main house has is beautiful and has everything needed for our 6 days stay. The extra cabin and outhouse was a great addition. The outdoor fire pit was enjoyed in multiple nights and one special night our son heard some crashing in the woods. He came and got all of us and we were able to see a momma moose with her two babies. Catkin was a wonderful host. She went above and beyond to find something we lost there. We would love to stay again! Highly recommend this piece of paradise !
We came to Homer to go fishing. We also took the ferry to Seldovia. Moose meadows was a great place to lay our head after a long day of enjoying all Homer had too offer.
Moose Meadows is so beautiful and peaceful. The decor is very cozy and we felt right at home. Everyone slept like a dream. Hope to make it back someday.
We really enjoyed this home in the country. It was close enough to Homer to enjoy all the area has to offer. The house was very accommodating and the house offered everything we needed.
Moose Meadows is in a beautiful place with a great view. The property is in a great location as well. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. It was a great place to stay and would definitely stay here again!There is 1 bathroom on the 1st floor and all bedrooms are on the 2nd floor and the water has a strong tinny/metal taste/smell. You can not park near the house either so be prepared to walk all items through the front yard to get them to the house.
Great place from which to launch our adventures. Well-appointed kitchen and easily-accessed location. If I return to Homer, I'll look up this house again.
This was a terrific rental experience for our adult family. The setting was spectacular, fire pit and deck were a huge plus. House had everything we needed and the owners were always in communication and very friendly
This cabin was great for our group, about 20 min drive to Homer. Quite location, privacy. Communication with Catkin was excellent. Will definitely consider coming back.
My family and I had an amazing stay! It suited us perfectly, We highly recommend if you are looking to be about 15 minutes from downtown Homer with very quiet days and nights and a large home to accommodate everyone. We appreciated the amenities, to include the basic necessities! Thank you so much!!
Wonderful well maintained cabin in the woods. Private and well equipped with everything you need. Great place to decompress and enjoy the peace and quiet. Catkin is a lovely hostess and she made certain we had everything we needed including great directions. Will book again next trip to Homer
Nice quiet place tucked away in nature with great views of the mountains and glacier. Some views of the bay. Cabin was as described and then some! Plenty of room for our group of four. Watched both movies about the Kilcher Homestead and family. So very interesting! Cooked many meals with the variety of dishware/cookware and spices. We enjoyed a campfire one evening. Catkin was very responsive and helpful. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing this wonderful property.
We spent a wonderful week here, it was conveniently just a short drive from all the activities in Homer, and the cabin was the perfect fit for the whole family. It is a wonderful and private place to relax after a day of adventures. The host went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay (including some baby proofing items for our toddler). The cabin lived up to its name with a first moose spotting for mamgu (welsh for grandma) and tadcu (grandpa) on their first trip to Alaska from Wales, UK.
This was my second time staying on a property with this host. House was fine for our two couples needs for 3 days. Property was very clean and exactly as portrayed online. We enjoyed the deck and made a fire our last night there! Thanks again Catkin for everything!!
The wooded setting is exactly what we were looking for and recommend anyone coming to Homer to stay in one of Catkin Kitchler Burtons rentals. We watched the tapes provided about the Kitchler family homesteading in Alaska and it was no bed of roses. Someone had to do it!
