This place was, clean, homey, and overall very relaxing to stay. We enjoyed spending time with family and having a base camp between exploring and fishing. The views were beautiful and the beds were comfortable.
Beautiful property with everything you could possibly need. Quiet and serene. We even had a couple of moose come wandering through the yard. The view is amazing.
We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome place to stay!
Excellent place up on the hillside. Very short drive to town. Nice meadow of fireweed in front and killer view. Good privacy, super kitchen, and great deck. Highly recommend.
Check-in was easy, house was super clean, well stocked, and well maintained. The views that this house had were STUNNING. Everyone in our party had a great stay, no complaints at all. Overall a great stay and we will be back no doubt!
We absolutely loved this house. The location was great with fantastic views. The layout accommodated our group of six with room to spare. The house was very clean and accurately represented by the pictures and description.
Came up to homer for a 3 day fishing charter and the cabin was perfect to come back to after a long day of fishing. Good accommodations to cook some of your catch that night and plenty of room to sleep 6 guys.
Amazing place to stay. The views are spectacular with easy access to the homer area the only negative would be the road was rather rough with pot holes I would highly recommend this property
Fantastic home! So open yet warm and cozy - with views for days! Our party enjoyed the perfectly laid our kitchen and living area. The beds were comfortable and the showers hot with great pressure. Terri was an incredible host - really easy to work with and timely responses. This home is a gem!
This is the second time we have stayed in this house. It is lovely, comfortable, pleasant, roomy, and great for families with kids. Big kids enjoyed staying in the loft, the kitchen was well equipped, the jet tub was a good alternative to a jacuzzi, and the leaving room was a nice hang out place. Tom is flexible, friendly, and very responsive! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Perfect location. Cozy. Had all you need. Clean comfy beds. I’ve stayed twice now. Once in winter and once in summer. Will be sure to reserve for my next trip! Saw a moose and baby in the yard too. Thank you Terri!!
Excellent property in all respects.
Outstanding panoramic views from a high ridge looking out over Honer Spit and the ocean.
We had a moos with two calves that were "residents" on the property daily.
I would definitely return to this rental.
We were given very prompt help with a chirping smoke alarm on a high ceiling that needed a new battery.
Our stay was great, the property is great. So is the view.
One minor issue--no dressers for clothes. But no big deal. We would be happy to stay here again.
Beautiful home! Thank you for sharing with us! Enough sleeping areas so every one has their own space. We had 8 people (3 families) and everyone loved their rooms. The view was incredible. The deck was great! Great location to be close to Homer, yet not in town. We had mamma moose and baby in the yard twice and saw lots of moose between the house and town.

Beautiful cabin but the cleaners had not been there!
We arrived and the cabin had not been cleaned from the previous guests. So that was disappointing. Beautiful views. Loved the deck. It really is a 2 bedroom cabin...the other 2 rooms have curtains. Nicely decorated. We enjoyed our time in Homer!

I'm so sorry you were disappointed in your stay. You had requested an early check in and we make every effort to the accommodate those requests. Unfortunately it was a really busy day for our cleaners and they could not make it happen. As for the bedrooms, our description of each room as well as photos should make it clear how each space is arranged. We will revisit the bedroom description section and see if we can make things more clear for future renters.
This property was great for our group! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and we loved being able to watch the birds, bunnies, and moose! Ample space to hang out with each other and apart from each other. The windows all had dark out shades which worked great (only improvement would be to add curtains for full black-out). Additionally, one of the bedrooms did not have a door, and that would have been nice to have a real curtain or better block off. Otherwise, amazing stay!

Beautiful Serene Setting
My family group of 5 adults and two young children enjoyed ourselves at Diamond Ridge Cabin. Although it rained nearly every day we were lucky enough to catch the fantastic views an afternoon or two. The wildflowers were a beautiful site!
The cabin is appointed nicely and fabulously clean. One of my suggestions may be to not have gorgeous yellow rugs inside the doors where you come in with rainy dirty shoes.
A little frustrating was taking the trash to the Transfer Station as suggested. It was initially closed and we found them quite unhelpful with the whole process. We unfortunately got a nail in our tire while doing this so had to delay departure to have it repaired. Maybe there is another way to handle that.
A couple of very small items considering the location to Homer and all that it has to offer. The owners of Diamond Ridge are blessed to have such a beautiful home and thank you for sharing it with us. Thank you Terri for being so quick with each response.
We look forward to our return next year!!!!!

We're so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay! We're so sorry you got a flat tire on your way to the transfer station, that's never fun to have to deal with. We just wanted to clarify our policy at Diamond Ridge Cabin. We have additional trash bins in the shed for garbage storage, so there is no need to haul garbage to the transfer station. Our cleaning service handles trash removal after check out. We encourage recycling, but unfortunately we do not have curbside recycling in Homer. If renters do want to recycle, they will need to haul their recycling to the transfer station as our cleaners aren't able to handle recycling. We're sorry if our instructions were confusing, we will reword them and hopefully avoid any confusion for future renters. No worries about the yellow entry rug either. If it gets dirty, we just pop it in the washing machine to clean it up. Thanks for your great review and for taking such good care of our home. We look forward to your next stay! -Terri
This was an amazing place to stay. We were there during Thanksgiving and the place was equipped with everything we needed plus some. Beautiful, clean home with an amazing view. Such a quiet atmosphere. Very easy to communicate with our host. Would definitely stay here again.
6 adults stayed in Homer for a week of fishing. This home was perfect for us! It was clean, roomy, and had everything we needed. To top it off, the view was amazing and had a couple moose sightings behind the house. I’d definitely stay here again if I return to Homer!

About the host
Hosted by Terri Barnett
Our family moved to Alaska in 2008 and have truly enjoyed living here. We first visited Homer in 2004 while visiting Alaska and we immediately fell in love with the town. After our visit in 2004, we knew we would be back. Our next visit to Homer was when we got married here in 2008. We've always wanted to own a home here and we finally made it happen in 2016! We are both biologists, so spending time in Homer where we are surrounded by so much wildlife and nature has been truly amazing! When we're not in Homer, we spend most of our summer on the water fishing and shrimping in Prince William Sound.
We have two young boys, Elias (7) and Paden (4) that are very active and love to be outside exploring. The beach is one of their favorite places to go, so many treasures to discover. We love spending time in Homer and hope your family will too!
