The Turkington's are 4th Generation Alaskans/Homerites and we love the last frontier. We're thrilled you stopped by our website to learn more about the Estate.

It is even much better than 5-, 6-star hotels. The house is located on the own owned hill, facing beautiful snow mountains and ocean whenever having dinner, sitting in the calm and styled living room, on balcony and outside the house. Especially, the owner, Joyce and Alan are extremely nice, helpful and friendly, making us like at warm home.

The communication with Joyce the owner was very good as she kept us informed of a potential check in issue(which did not happen) due to a very large party checking out before us, but when we encountered her on the property she was very informative on local activities and just very friendly in general. We were able to see a young bull moose, right in the back yard of the house which made my wife's day! I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Thanks for sharing this home with us.

The house was spacious, comfortable, well appointed and lovingly care for. There were Sandhill Cranes spending the day eating and resting in the meadow. The location was private yet close to Homer. Truly a home away from home. ##### David R. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Sept 2018 #### Absolutely loved it! It is a beautiful home and property, complete with a breathtaking view of the bay and glacier. We were treated to a flock of 40-50 Sandhills Cranes most days and some raspberry picking. This comfortable and well-stocked home is in a great location and Joyce and Alan Tarkington are perfect hosts. Thank you for a lovely stay - we hope to be back one day.

It was comfortable and super clean. The hosts anticipated questions with helpful notes around the house and included a very interesting history of the house and the Turkingtons. Downtown Homer was only a few minutes drive but I could have stayed two days in the living room looking out at the incredible views of the ocean and mountains. ##### linda v. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David T. 28 Jul 2018 #### We loved it! For our summer family vacation, we wanted to explore the Homer area. We don't really like hotels, so we thought the Turkington estate would suit our needs. Not only did it suit our needs, it was like a dream come true. The house was spotlessly clean and the view of Kachemak Bay and the Homer Spit was spectacular! The place was so spacious and cozy. The owners were very helpful, recommending places to eat and visit, which turned out to be wonderful. The location was a little out of town, which made it a quiet retreat after a busy day of exploring. We would highly recommend Carolyn's suite to anyone looking for a clean, quiet getaway with a view to die for! ##### David T.

There was more than enough space for us (two couples). The house had everything we needed and more. If we were in the Homer area we would definitely rent this house again. We went Halibut and Salmon fishing and easily caught our limits. Homer is probably my favorite area in Alaska. We highly recommend the Turkington Estate. ##### Rodney M.
