About this cabin rental
Only a short drive off the main road, you’ll enjoy privacy in a secluded setting. With new beds, mattresses and furniture, this is a lovely two-level cabin, hand-built by Homer homesteaders with recent renovations completed in 2015. Moose Meadows has three cozy upstairs bedrooms, a modern kitchen, fully equipped for all your cooking desires, with a fully remodeled bathroom with bath and shower.
The wildlife in the immediate area is abundant, with moose, eagles, sandhill cranes, porcupines and many others. The cabin is sited privately with a large private yard, view of the bay, and a virgin wilderness behind. From the cabin, you can see beautiful Kachemak Bay and the mountains across the way.
The cabin provides modern features, has ample space and is a beautiful spot for a family to stretch out and use as a base of operations to explore Homer and Kachemak Bay. This cabin sits alone on a 3 acre plot 12 miles out East End road but has ready access on a graveled road, and is close to the amenities in the Fritz Creek area (gas, groceries, spirits), a world-class restaurant, and horse-back riding. In the beautiful town of Homer are halibut and salmon fishing, the Pratt Museum, galleries, restaurants, groceries, ATV tours, kayaking, music/theater, glacier/bear viewing, air tours and much, much more.
The cabin is within walking distance of a historic site of rich significance, the Kilcher Homestead, where I grew up in an austere 400 square foot homesteaders cabin that you’ll want to visit. Easy access to the Kilcher Family Homestead provides over 600 acres in which to hike through to the beach via one of only three beach access sites outside of Homer.

The cabin is well stocked and taken care of. Sitting outside on the deck was quiet and peaceful. The cabin even lived up to its name. We came back on our last evening to find two cow moose and one calf just off the deck. It was a perfect ending.

We came to Homer to go fishing. We also took the ferry to Seldovia. Moose meadows was a great place to lay our head after a long day of enjoying all Homer had too offer.

The wooded setting is exactly what we were looking for and recommend anyone coming to Homer to stay in one of Catkin Kitchler Burtons rentals. We watched the tapes provided about the Kitchler family homesteading in Alaska and it was no bed of roses. Someone had to do it!

It was like home. Very clean, comfortable but secluded which is like us at home. Close enough to Homer for us to travel. Enjoyed riding the roads and looking at the scenery.

The cottage was perfect for our needs. We loved the privacy yet close to town. The evenings on the deck were so relaxing. Had everything we needed to cook and do laundry. Would stay again in the future. Catkin was very easy to work with when I messed up our dates.

Absolutely amazing property. We will stay again.

We spent a wonderful week here, it was conveniently just a short drive from all the activities in Homer, and the cabin was the perfect fit for the whole family. It is a wonderful and private place to relax after a day of adventures. The host went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay (including some baby proofing items for our toddler). The cabin lived up to its name with a first moose spotting for mamgu (welsh for grandma) and tadcu (grandpa) on their first trip to Alaska from Wales, UK.

My family and I had an amazing stay! It suited us perfectly, We highly recommend if you are looking to be about 15 minutes from downtown Homer with very quiet days and nights and a large home to accommodate everyone. We appreciated the amenities, to include the basic necessities! Thank you so much!!

Immaculate cabin with amazing deck space. Internet access even allowed my daughter to work on line! All the comfy beds are upstairs...and the bathroom is downstairs...frequent visitors be aware! We drank bottled water. But tap water was fine for everything else..w&d was greatly appreciated! Overall a great but too short of a visit. We would love to come back again.

Moose lodge was an absolute gorgeous place to stay. Views were absolutely magnificent. We had a cow moose and her baby stay with is in the yard through out our visit.
Catkin was an excellent host and made sure all of our questions were answered and was readily available in case we needed anything. The lodge was just as described but pictures did not do it justice.

Truly no better place to spend in Homer! Beautiful, secluded. All the best parts of the Alaskan experience in one.

Cozy cabin
Wonderful cabin home which my husband and I enjoyed. It was just as pictured, clean, cozy, and quiet. We had a minor issue with the key box but Catkin was quick to respond and resolve. Would definitely recommend. Only negative was nothing the host could change. I hadn't realized when booking that the bathroom was on the main floor, with 3 bedrooms upstairs. I have some knee issues & it was just uncomfortable at night to have to go up & down the stairs if you need the bathroom.

Homer Wedding/Fishing`
We stayed in Homer for a wedding and fishing. The location was perfect for us because it was in the middle of both events. The views are beautiful, the nature was perfect. There were moose in the yard when we arrived. The house was as expected, it was clean and ready to go. The water does have some iron in it. The owner was very responsive to text/phone calls so we were able to check in easily. Had she not been responsive we would not have been able to get in because access was not received via email though she said she sent it. We enjoyed our stay, and highly recommend this VRBO. We will definitely stay there again in the future if it is available when we need it. Thank you so much for a great experience!

Staying at this property was great for our family! It was clean, cozy, and had excellent views! The deck was our favorite part! The only complaint we had was being asked to bring our trash to the local dump at checkout. It just added some extra driving time and time out of our already busy day. But overall it was an excellent stay!
