Amazing view

Our entire group of 8 loved this house and the layout. The view was amazing! It’s difficult to want to leave with such a view. The house was very clean and there were many small details that made it even better. The hosts were easy to work with and checking in and out was easy. We enjoyed our 3 nights but wish it could have been longer.

Homer Fishing Trip

This home was perfect for our group of 9 adults. The view is incredible and we spent part of our evenings talking on the deck viewing the mountains and bay. The accommodations were large enough for us to eat together and play games. It’s really convenient to the Homer spit where all the charter boats leave, and to other stores for supplies. The owners are great and made everything convenient. Highly recommend.

Doug and Gloria made our first Alaskan experience even better. Easy process from start to finish and super easy to work with…it was almost like I was checking into my own home! Doug recommended North Country Charters to us for Halibut fishing and they didn’t disappoint either! Highly recommended for your Homer stay!

About the host

Hosted by Doug and Gloria Stuart

Host profile image
Gloria and I came to Homer in 1981 from Long Island New York. Our first three children were born there and our two adopted kids were born in Alaska and came to be ours in their infancy. We have had a busy 32 years of raising children, Doug working on the North Slope for ARCO Alaska, commercial fishing and more recently working for the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge as a Naturalist on the State ferry Tustumena traveling from Homer to Dutch Harbor over 120 times. We've built a smaller home out of town to be near our children and grand children. We have loved our 'town house' and have wonderful memories of our years spent here. It's a very comfortable home from which to enjoy and 'take in' all that Homer, Alaska has to offer. Please see our expanded link to see many more pictures and our special free amenities we would like to offer you.

Why they chose this property

As soon as we stepped through the door with our realtor, we immediatly fell in love with 292 Mountain View Drive. It was huge compared to our homestead trailer out of town. It had bedrooms for all and a view that has awed us for 27 years besides having three levels so that children and adults can gather together or separate for entertaining. The benifits of living close to but not next to all the amenities a large, growing family needs was wonderful. Gloria and I feel that not only your needs but all your vacation wishes will be met here also.

What makes this property unique

As large as our house is it has the warmth that makes everyone feel they've come home! We know you will feel that way too. Doug and Gloria Stuart
