Family Home Base in Homer. 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths. Sleeps 9, Dog Friendly.

Cranes’ Rest is a tucked away, tree-lined green setting about 1.5 miles from downtown Homer, surrounded by trees and birdsong. Big south-facing windows fill the house with Alaska light, and the large deck is made for slow mornings and long evenings — coffee, sunshine, and wide-open quiet. You get the best of both worlds: a quiet, green environment, plus quick access to downtown Homer and the Spit

You will often see eagles, cranes, and float planes overhead, and moose frequently travel through the area, especially in spring. Keep your phone ready — there is no shortage of photo moments here.

Cook and gather with ease. The large kitchen is fully equipped so you can prep your Alaskan “catch of the day,” make big breakfasts, or keep it simple and cozy after a day on the Spit. This home is set up to be a practical, comfortable base for everything Homer offers.

Important notes

This is the upper home in a duplex. A long-term tenant lives in the unit below with a separate entrance. You have your own private entrance on the opposite side of the home, plus full access to your kitchen, living, dining, and deck area.

Because this is a shared building, we ask guests to be mindful of heavy footsteps and late-night noise.

Local lodging and sales tax is assessed per night. For compliance, we include a nightly tax amount of $39.25 in the price.
