Cozy. Was pretty snug with 2 kids on the pull out couch. Great location. Clean. The door to the bedroom sticks so its hard to go to the restroom without waking everyone up.

We had a wonderful stay at Rangeview Guesthouse in Homer! The property was clean, cozy, and perfectly situated with stunning views that truly captured the beauty of Alaska. Every detail was thoughtfully provided—from comfortable beds and a well-stocked kitchen to helpful local recommendations. It was the perfect home base to explore the area, and take in the peaceful surroundings. Kathy and Dennis were friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The daily desserts were awesome! We left with full hearts and lasting memories—highly recommend!

Very nice B&D (Dessert). We stayed two nights and the owner delivered fresh baked desserts each day while we were out exploring Homer. The unit was very clean and the small kitchen had everything we needed. Sandhill cranes landing on the backyard was a daily event for us. Located in a quiet neighborhood on the hill but only a few minutes drive away from beaches and restaurants.

Great place in Homer!

This was a terrific place in Homer! The place was clean, comfortable, and as the name implies had a lovely view of the sea and mountains. We had delicious desserts both nights of our stay and the host even remembered that we were traveling to Alaska for my 40th birthday. 5+ stars!!

All that was promised! Desserts were wonderful!

Intimate and well maintained- and very clean. We prepared a couple of meals, stove and pans were in great condition. If you love moose, you will love the decorations and the challenge of finding all the mooses! Views across the bay are wonderful with drink of your choice. You will enjoy your stay!

Perfect for a family getaway.

We had a great time biking around with our 7 and 9 year old boys. Playground and beach is just a short distance away. Woke up to sand hill cranes on the front lawn. A moose in the driveway. The dessert treat each day is so unique. Definitely a relaxing place to get away to in a great location!

Very nice

A great place to stay in Homer. Clean and quiet. Owner(s) were very accommodating and pleasant. One small issue. Description said coin operated laundry. I assumed it was at the house, I was wrong. The laundry was at one of the laundry places in Homer.

Cozy room with an ocean view

The apartment is very cozy with limited kitchen space. The front porch is nice with a wonderful view of the bay. Kathy is warm and made us tasty creative deserts. The husband was officious, hovered at times and criticized my wife for having a fan on and "slamming" the front door. He eventually left us alone, but very little sense of privacy. (They also need over head cabinets and a vent fan in kitchen, as well as an outdoor grill.)

Rangeview B&D was the perfect spot to come back to after an exhausting day watching the bears at Katmai! And a specially made dessert waiting for us was the cherry on top! If we are fortunate enough to come back to Homer, we will definitely stay here again!
