We really enjoyed our stay at this home. The views just made this stay even more amazing. The home is well kept, just as described and it was perfect for us to spend our time in Homer. We would definitely stay here again.
My family was just wowed by this beautiful home! The views were outstanding and everything looked like it was straight out of "House Beautiful". Decorated in a fun eclectic way. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen/dining area amazing. We had so much sightseeing we wanted to do, but honestly , it was hard to leave this lovely home!! Highly recommend!
This VRBO was perfect for our sibling trip. Room for everyone, immaculate, spectacular views. Couldn’t have asked for anything more and would highly recommend. Absolutely Loved Our Stay.
Homer did not disappoint, and the Kachemak cottage was the perfect place to stay to enjoy all Home has to offer. The cottage is beautifully decorated, fully appointed, offers space for many visitors, and has a view of Kachemak bay that is unbeatable. Highly recommend using this as your home base when visiting Homer.
This house was amazing with a gorgeous view! I could have stayed there longer and would love to go back. For planning purposes, if you are traveling with someone with mobility issues, the main floor bedroom was great but the bed was too high for my in-laws which meant they had to use the space in the lower level of the house. I would definitely book this house again though and highly recommend it to others!
We were blown away by the location of this property. The sweeping views of Kachemak from the deck out front and from the main area in the front of the house was simply incredible. The property was immaculate and exactly as the listing stated. We loved the personal touch of goodies from local vendors. This cottage provided everything, and more, that we needed for our wonderful stay in Homer.
Photos don't do this place justice. The view is incredible, the home was more spacious than expected, and completely spotless clean. It was the perfect spot to relax after a few long days exploring in and around Homer. The hosts were prompt with all communications. I would absolutely stay at this place and book with these hosts again.
Everything was amazing and the home is even more beautiful than the pictures. Kitchen was a blast to cook in - loaded with everything needed. Beds, pillows, towels all comfortable. View incredible. Seating areas abound. Lots of character and charm. Would recommend this beautiful home to anyone. Wowzer!
This beautiful vacation home was comfortable and spotlessly clean. It has a spectacular view of the bay, is centrally located and was well appointed. Highly recommend it!
We had a wonderful stay in Homer at this house. It is beautifully decorated, spacious and has absolutely amazing views. It was the perfect home base for our family to visit Homer and there is a huge yard for kids to run around and play in. We would definitely come back to this house if given the chance!!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The home was beautiful, and the view was incredible. Everyone had their own space, and the location was great. The beds were comfy, and we loved playing cards at the dining room table. Wish we could have stayed longer. There was even a bald eagle that hung out on the roof!

Beautiful house with beautiful views. Our family of 7 had plenty of room.
The home is very inviting and well appointed. Enjoyed the expansive views of Kachemak Bay and Homer from the deck every morning and evening. We liked being away from town but yet only a few minutes away when needed.
Lovely sea themed house. Had an amazing panoramic view of the bay! Could easily of slept 8 if it is couples or people who don't mind sharing beds. A short 10minute drive from everything Homer has to offer. Would highly recommend and stay again.
Great place to stay. Comfortable for 4 adults when it came to sitting in the living room. The kitchen was well equipped with cookware and spices. Bring your own coffee though. There were 2 of the 4 beds that allowed for a darker room to sleep, if that matters to you. The view was work $1M, very nice to sit at the house and enjoy the Homer feel.
If I could give Ptarmigan Cottage 10 stars I would. It exceeded my expectations in every way. The location and view are perfect! The cottage itself, the amenities, the light washed rooms, premium beds and linens, exceptionally stocked kitchen. Book this place with confidence you will have a wonderful stay in Homer!!
This home is beautiful. The beds are so comfortable and it has all the amenities you need. We mostly stayed in and cooked and had everything we needed. But most importantly was the view. This is a million dollar view. I grew up in Homer and this just wowed me.
The views here cannot be beat! We could barely pull ourselves off the deck. The beds are super comfortable and the appointments in this house the best we’ve ever seen. (and we travel extensively). The house is impeccably clean and everything you could want is provided. Fun to watch the pheasant and Steller Jays in the yard. All 4 of us just loved this place!
We stayed at this incredible property for two nights. I did not want to leave. Besides the incredible views, the property is nicely maintained and beautifully decorated. It was a place that will calm your soul! We took our Alaska trip to honor my husbands last wishes. Nothing could have made this any better. We were greeted by a warm welcoming note left by the hosts. They somehow even arranged for mama moose and her twins to visit our first morning on the deck. Again! Magical!! I will be back for a more extended stay. Thank you Roxanne!!
