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.

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!

Spring time weekend away

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.

Wonderful property in nice very quiet and private location. Very well equipped, felt almost as if it was our own summerhouse.Owner lives nearby and is very responsive if you have a need or concern. View from the house is absolutely stunning. We were there on some cloudier and rainier days. Nonetheless, the fascinating view kept changing and surprising us!

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.

A Perfect Family Retreat – Can’t Wait to Come Back!

The Adventure Chalet is pure magic. This was our second time staying here, and we’re already planning our third. Rachel and Jason have created a true refuge that feels like it was designed with families—and especially kids—in mind.From the thoughtful decor to the well-stocked amenities, every detail is warm, welcoming, and fun. And that view—absolutely breathtaking. It’s just as gorgeous as the photos, if not more.Even the outhouse is charming (I actually wish I’d taken a photo of the interior—it’s that cute!).We’re so grateful to Rachel and Jason for sharing this special place. It’s beautiful inside and out, and we feel incredibly lucky to return to it again and again.Highly recommend to anyone looking for a family-friendly, soul-filling Homer getaway.
Morning magic! The view of the mountains is stunning, but what made it extra special were the thoughtful welcome gifts: a glass of wine for the adults and popcorn for the kids. A simple touch that made us feel truly cared for and welcome.
Not just a house—it’s an adventure clubhouse for kids and a cozy retreat for grown-ups. From the layout to the details, it feels like it was designed to spark imagination and joy. Our kids never wanted to leave, and honestly, neither did we.
A peek inside Volcano Vista: we fully made ourselves at home (mess and all). My son found his happy place curled up in that sunlit corner with a blanket so soft I’m now hunting it down for our house. This chalet doesn’t just look good—it feels good.

Off the beaten path cabin

If you are looking for a quite place to stay, this is you one. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided plenty of water. The views were amazing but you can't see the spit from the house. During the 30 min drive from the spit is some of the most beautiful views we had so far. Oh and one last thing, if your wife is not tracking what a dry cabin means, please inform them.
