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.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom with a shower/tub combination features a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Pamper yourself with onsite massages or enjoy recreation amenities such as a hot tub.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.

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.

The perfect vacation cabin

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.

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.

Relaxing family adventure

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.

Discovering Homer Spit & Kenai Peninsula

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!

Exceptional Vacation

We just returned from a week at this cabin and cant say enough good things about the property and host. The cabin is neat, clean, decorated nicely, completely furnished and the beds were comfortable. The view is spectacular. Just what we were looking for. Owner was extremely easy to get in touch with and great to work with. She goes out of her way to make your stay memorable. We cant wait to go back. It is a great area to visit and a great place to stay. When you go take the time to go and visit the Homestead. The views are breathtaking.
