Victoria is a great host, she thought of every detail to make this home as comfortable as your own home. It is very clean and the location is in a secluded location yet close to everything else. The view is incredible. It was very comfortable. Also Victoria was very responsive to the multiple queries that I had and her recommendations were spot on. Thank you.
Kind of shocked at first when we drove by. It kind of looked abandoned. Then we realized everyone cut their yards with a lot of nature still around the house. The house itself was definitely what we hoped. Plenty of room for all of us. Enjoyed being more towards the edge of town. And the view was stunning. Thank you!
Six men on a fishing trip. Everyone had their one bedroom and bathroom which was awesome. Most of the bedrooms did not have blackout curtains which would be helpful when there’s 20 hours of daylight. Two in the party like to go to bed watching tv. None of the bedrooms had a tv. Home was well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. This place was a great find for our fishing group.
House was conveniently located on east end road just a short drive to everything Homer has to offer. The house was very spacious and perfect for our family get together. Highly recommend it.
Lovely and very roomy house. The beds were comfortable and it was very nice having our own bathrooms. Location was awesome and highly recommend this house for large parties.
This home offers everything you need for your home away from home. The 4 bedroom suites, 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms offer spacious room for quality gathering. We definitely would recommend this home and hope to be back again. It was the perfect ending to our son's wedding week. Thank you Victoria for clean, guiet and spacious accommodations.
We had such an amazing week in Homer and this house was absolutely perfect for our 3-generation family.There is plenty of space to gather together. The dining table fit our entire group and the kitchen was fabulous for making family meals.There is also plenty of room for each person to have their own space. With multiple beds and bedrooms and bathrooms - everyone had plenty of privacy. Being on the bike path was wonderful - we biked to the Spit and went on long walks (even saw some Moose!) You can also walk to a place to get the best bagels I've ever had. And the view! It was breathtaking (even on the rainy days!)Great location, great house, great town! There is so much to do in Homer. We hiked to the glacier and went on a boat trip to Seldovia and went to the museums and saw art and shopped and ate delicious meals. It's a great destination for all ages. We've been home 2 days and I miss it already!

Amazing!!
We had 3 generations here for a family wedding and everyone enjoyed staying here. There was enough room that if you need to get away from the group you could find privacy!! The backyard was great-Very private and large. Spent a lot of time on the back deck taking in the beautiful views. Thank you Victoria for allowing us to stay here😊
This house is fantastic, we had both floors and all rooms for our stay. Everyone had their own bathroom, downstairs had multiple entrances and easy parking. Two separate kitchens was great! With 10 of us staying it was nice not to step on anyone else’s toes.
The bedrooms were all very comfortable, bathrooms are large with plenty of space. Sad I didn’t get to use the soaking tub, next time for sure!
Exceptionally comfortable, well thought out home. Has everything you need. Beautiful views, can see 3 glaciers right outside your back door. Check in and communication was great. Can’t think of enough good things to say. Only downside worth mentioning is there are no blackout curtains so bring your eye masks to sleep.
We were three couples. Everyone had their own Master. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, coffee and a host of condiments. When we reported that a can opener was worn out we had a brand new one delivered that same day.
Very convenient to the spit, the store etc assuming you had a car. All five stars.
We loved it! This house was custom designed for multiple familes, three master bedrooms with king beds and private baths. The extra kitchen downstairs was icing on the cake and three single bedrooms with three more baths downstairs as well. All with a killer view.
We breifly met the owner and she is a doll. Victoria is very personable,knowledgeable and she looks after things.
We are already discussing our next trip to Homer in the Northstar "Retreat"
We had a group of 12 all family members. The house is extremely clean and layout was awesome. 3 large rooms with king beds on the main floor and down stairs 3 more bedrooms with one having a twin bed and two rooms with queen beds….lots of bathrooms. We enjoyed cooking our fresh caught fish in the large kitchen. The view is spectacular of water & mountains. One person had to sleep on a couch. We needed another set of sheets/blanket for him but we travel with small blankets snd just made do. We never ask for any extra linens but it is a suggestion. I would definitely stay here again…just longer.
It was perfect for what we needed. There were 10 of us, 5 couples staying in the house, and there were plenty of rooms, beds, bathrooms, for everyone to have their own space and plenty of room to all come together in a communal area. The backyard is really nice and the view is stunning. We hosted our wedding here and the pictures are so beautiful I couldn't have asked for a better place. The only issue is the trash situation, we were told to take it to the spit to dump in the dumpsters there, but that's generally illegal and we were yelled at when we went to do it, and the dump was closed on Sunday when we left - so maybe could figure out a better trash situation. Otherwise it was perfect - clean, comfy, and plenty of space for everyone
Great home. Very spacious for our large family.
Very well stocked. Communication was wonderful. No issues at all. The house was perfect ( and I’m picky 😀).
Love the house. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms
2 Kitchens and 2 living rooms. Great for a family gathering!
The View is Gorgeous! It is breathtaking!
Loved this place would definitely stay here again!!
Our “Destination Wedding” location. We were staying for 4 nights and had to add an extra night onto the beginning of our reservation; this was not a problem with the owner, Victoria, she was very accommodating. There was enough room for all of our friends and family members. Homer Spit was an exceptional added treat,
delicious food and shopping.
The North Star House is perfect for a large group. The house is clean & comfortable, has beautiful views of the bay, and is well furnished. The host responded quickly to our messages & was very helpful when a problem occurred with VRBO in regards to our booking. We’ll definitely stay here again when there are six or more in our group.
Large group is no problem here! Beds and pillows super comfy, plenty of bathrooms, well stocked kitchen, and very responsive host. Living room/dining room seating plentiful, but could be more comfortable. Big deck with killer views! Would absolutely book again.
As last year, we had another fantastic stay. Property is very comfortable and Victoria is amazing . We left some stuff after checkout and she brought it to me at homer spit! Lovely lady and amazing place. Thanks Victoria
