About this property

Lots of privacy on this 2.5-acre property located out East End Road in a quiet neighborhood. A short, beautiful 15-minute ride from Homer with views of the bay and mountains along the way. If you want to see wildlife, you need to get out-of-town.

Easy living on one-level. No stairs, 1,100 square feet, plenty of room for four people. Living room has Satellite TV, DVD player, and stereo. Nice, covered 200-square foot deck if you want to sit outside and just enjoy the great outdoors. (WE ARE NOT ABLE TO HAVE A GAS GRILL ON THE PROPERTY DUE TO INSURANCE LIABILITY.) Vaulted ceiling. Two-bedrooms with queen beds. All doorways have a 36" wide opening. One bathroom, walk-in shower, no tub. Fully-equipped kitchen with oven and cook top, microwave and refrigerator with ice maker. Washer and dryer. Light-filtering blinds in every room.

Beautiful views of Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Mountains across the way. This is a place on earth where the mountains meet the ocean, so relax and enjoy the views.

Nearby, Fritz Creek has essential groceries, baked goods and spirits. Safeway grocery store in Homer offers a discount card by using your phone number. You may sign up online or in-store.

Some local restaurants we enjoy include Duncan House in downtown Homer which offers reasonably priced breakfast and lunch; Wasabi (which you will drive by on East End Road) offers a variety of seafood; Lands Ends at the end of the spit offers a view of the bay. In "old town" Homer is AJ's for upscale steak and seafood dining and Three Sisters Bakery, a unique coffeehouse with homemade baked goods.

This is the place for us!

I’ve lived in AK, Anchorage borough, for over 30 years.we have family and friends visit nearly every summer. In the past we’ve always stayed at the Lands End, but no more. This home is a true jewel. Quiet, clean, fully stocked, 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen great bath! Then the porch is idyllic. Large enough for every one to stretch out, nice table and chairs for enjoying breakfast outside. But the view knocks you out. There is a large, natural, front yard that brings birds and moose out for your viewing pleasure. The mountains twinkle and shine across Katchemack Bay. Definitely a must stay!

Cabin with a View and a Moose

This cabin is on a slope overlooking Kachemak Bay and Kachemak state park. The view off the deck in the front is gorgeous. We saw a moose off the deck two out of the three days we were there. It is located close to restaurants, shops, and the Homer spit. There are many local restaurants and things to do. The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the shower had good water pressure.

Our stay in Fritz Creek

So quiet with magnificent views.

Comfy cabin deep in the trees at Fritz Creek…about 15 minutes outside Homer. Easy drive. Be sure to stop for coffee at the general store. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds with flannel sheets were great. No other buildings or neighbors in sight. The moose walked by the patio one evening. Awesome view of mountains, sky and clouds over the bay from front room. Quiet nights. Check-in worked great.
