About the host

Hosted by Evelyn Harden

Host profile image
Evelyn purchased the Alaska Adventure Cabins, LLC in June of 2020. Although it was coming home since she was born here into a homesteading family years ago--but it is so much more. This is the beginning of a dream. The reviews and comments of the guests are so important as we continue to increase the opportunities for the guests' enjoyment. Our goal is to provide beautiful, comfortable accommodations the enhance you vacation.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful property is located in Homer, very close to amenities and tourist activities, but very private on the side of the hill, overlooking the Kachemak Bay and surrounding mountains. Guests frequently report whale and bird watching from the deck, as well as frequent wildlife sightings.

What makes this property unique

Along with a 280 degree view of the bay with the plush green landscape with groomed trails and photo opportunities, you enjoy a large deck equipped with furniture and a BBQ, where you socialize while watching a sunset, watching eagles play on the wind and moose will mosey past. (You are safe.) Great photo ops as you walk our summer trails and enjoy the plush green nature.
