Cranes' Rest: Cozy Homer Family Home Near Downtown & the Spit

Cranes’ Rest is a cozy Homer family home tucked into a peaceful, tree-lined setting about 1.5 miles from downtown. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 7 beds, and room for up to 9 guests, it is a comfortable home base for families, fishing trips, wedding guests, and Homer getaways.

Big south-facing windows fill the house with Alaska light, and the open living, dining, and kitchen areas make it easy for everyone to gather without feeling crowded. The large deck is made for slow mornings, coffee, sunshine, and quiet evenings after a day exploring Homer. You get the best of both worlds: a calm green setting with quick access to downtown Homer, the Spit, restaurants, galleries, beaches, trails, and local activities.

Inside, the home has a warm, practical layout with space to cook, relax, visit, and rest. The kitchen is set up for real meals, the living room has plenty of comfortable seating, and the bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements for groups and families. Whether you are coming for fishing, a family visit, a wedding, a summer vacation, or a quiet Alaska reset, Cranes’ Rest gives you room to land and enjoy Homer at an easier pace.

You will often see eagles, cranes, and float planes overhead, and the yard and deck give the home a relaxed Alaska feel without being far from town. It is not a hotel or a luxury resort. It is a loved, comfortable Homer home with character, natural light, and space for people to be together.

Please note that this is an upper-level home with a separate lower unit. A long-term tenant lives below with a private entrance. Guests have private use of the rental space, but we ask everyone to be mindful of heavy footsteps and late-night noise.

The nightly rate includes up to 7 guests. Groups of 8 or 9 may include an additional guest fee to help cover added laundry, supplies, cleaning time, and wear. Local taxes are included in the nightly rate and are remitted according to local requirements.
