This was an excellent accommodation while staying in Homer: very comfortable, beautifully decorated and has anything you need! Communication with our host was fast. Very much recommended. I would give 10 stars, but the rating doesnt go further :)

The cabin was perfect for our needs. Everything was clean, all the cooking supplies we needed, lots of small touches like motion lights in the kitchen and outhouse and slippers.
The fireplace made the place very cozy and my kids loved having the upstairs to themselves and the treat of a TV and DVD player!
The location could not be beat for the event we were attending just a mile down the road!
Highly recommend! The views from the front porch are stunning and the cabin is spotless. The hosts are great and very responsive. We can’t wait to return.
Very responsive down to earth owners. The property was very clean and accurate to the description. If you want someplace with a hot shower don't rent here although there's options in town. Fantastic value for the money clean nice house plenty of space awesome porch.
Very clean cabin with the two queen beds being comfortable. It's a ways from town but accessible. The road there is pretty bumpy, normal Alaskan life. Gorgeous views. The kids enjoyed the outhouse experience after all.
Picked a cold and windy hockey tournament weekend. But the view was fantastic! Stars were out just like on top of a Hawaiian volcano, only better. And colder. Great communication with host, Homer is a fun town with great food. Next time we’re back, staying at Volcano Vista again.
Perfect! in every way. I enjoyed a serene 'day off' while the young folks went kayaking. The layout of the cabin was lovely. The view was sublime. It was nice that the owners left a nice pair of binoculars for guests to use. We'd be happy to stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay at Volcano Vista! The views are absolutely stunning, and the chalet was cozy, clean, and well-equipped. We brought our dog along, and it worked out great, there was plenty of space to enjoy the peaceful surroundings together. We'd happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.
This was just the place I was looking for! Beautiful scenic drive up the mountain and a gorgeous property! The outhouse is cozy and clean. Caught the first snow of the season on our last morning!
This was the most beautiful VRBO! The views were spectacular. The small touches were wonderful. It was quiet and peaceful, everything we were looking for. We already talked about wanting to come back.
We were so grateful for the host’s thorough directions into an area of Homer that is off the beaten path. This property is truly a gem. The hosts have done an amazing job with this rental. It is private, clean, quiet & truly offers Alaskan charm! We will stay here again!
