The property was fantastic. Actually the photos on web did not do it justice. It was a beautiful home, nicely built. Three bedrooms and three baths. we'll rent it again in the future, for sure.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Homer in the Burn's home. The fireweed was in bloom and was beautiful overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed eating on the deck and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. And Maggie ordered perfect weather for us!!! The kitchen is very well designed and fun to cook in. The accomodations were great. Looking forward to next year.

Perfect Family Home with Amazing Views!

The whole process of checking in and out as well as communication before and during the trip with Maggie was seemless! We would highly recommend this stay! We really enjoyed our morning coffee and evening wine from either outdoors on the deck or indoors from the dining room, livingroom, and master bedroom. We even saw 3 moose- 1 coming right into the yard! It was the perfect Alaskan Getaway! The location was ideal from Homer- super easy access to get into town, yet in the country with the more secluded feel.

This was our second stay at Heather View. In addition to the million dollar view of Kachemak Bay and across Cook Inlet, the house is beautiful. Great kitchen, nice bedrooms and decks. We also really enjoyed the fire pit. This is a beautiful property and a great host.

Breath taking views near Homer

The home was great. Very clean and well equipped kitchen. Our only suggestion would be to put a queen sized bed in the guest bedroom and a king sized bed in the master. Maggie is a great host. You will love staying here.

Beautiful home with beautiful view

The House and property was better than described and convenient to everything in Homer without being too close. We greatly enjoyed our stay and Maggie’s hospitality. We even got to see a mom and baby moose at midnight just outside the door one night.
