907 rules!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

We have enjoyed Homer for over ten years and have carved out a little slice above town. Volcano Vista was built to house family when they visit and turned into a labor of love.

Why they chose this property

Volcano Vista is a unique stay because it is out of town with quiet and surroundings and outdoor adventure opportunities. Or just cozy up with a book next to the woodstove. Also, this could be described as the ultimate glamping getaway with an outhouse, but also equipped with a full kitchen, cozy beds, and wifi.
