Property was wonderful, very quiet location, awesome view. We use vacation rentals a lot and this one was the cleanest and owner gave thought to what we needed to be comfortable. I can highly recommend this property.
We were blown away by how nice and comfortable The Twin Puffins cabin was. Exceeded any place we other VRBO we have stayed at. Had the opportunity to meet Carlton, the owner, and truly enjoyed getting to know him.
Beautiful views of the glaciers and bay!
My family has found our home away from home.
Could not ask for nicer people.
Wonderful cabin located on the eastern side of Homer. Excellent view of the bay and Homer Spit. Surrounded by nature, yet only a few minutes from town, restaurants, coffee shops and Safeway. The cabin has everything for your stay and is immaculate. Owners are very easy to work with and responsive. I can’t recommend enough!
Twin Puffins is an extraordinary place! It is located on a beautiful hillside. The property is well maintained and manicured. It has easy access off the main road. It is exceptionally clean with some awesome decor. It has all the amenities than some homes. The view from the kitchen/den/deck area is breathtaking. It is surrounded by green vegetation and a pond below. The surrounding area has ample opportunities for various outdoor activities. I would highly recommend Twin Puffins in your next travels.
I can’t say enough about this property. Very clean. Everything worked. Gorgeous cabin. Fantastic view. Peaceful. Modern. Ample deck space. The list goes on and on. We absolutely LOVED it here. Not too far outside of Homer - just a few minutes drive - I wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to come back one day and stay again at this wonderful property. Worth every penny.
Simply amazzzzzzing...just the two of us...we shopped, hiked, explored, ate, drank, relaxed, and just plain enjoyed the unbelievable view. Even saw a black bear in the back yard. Only regret is having to leave and return to reality! We will be back!
Many thanks for sharing your beautiful, perfectly located, well equipped, comfortable home...and the raspberries were realllllly good as well!
Take care!
We had the most wonderful stay at this cabin! It is nestled beautifully in the landscape with an AMAZING view! Our family of 5 was very comfortable. The property manager could not have been better and the cabin was perfectly clean - it felt brand new! Highly recommend this rental!
Twin Puffins has a wonderful deck with the most amazing view of the bay, mountains, and glaciers! Every detail has been thought of in this cabin! Games, list of local activities, condiment s, tea/coffee, soap…etc. Location is perfect - with town a few minutes away. Can’t wait to stay here again!!
We've rented quite a few places and this was the best! The view, the location, the deck, the privacy, and the cleanliness! It is also the little things that made it so great. We have never stayed at a place with so many condiments or with a grill that was spotless and ready to use. We hope to come back and highly recommend it to all.

Beautiful home with beautiful view
I would love to give it a 4.8 rating if I could because the house was perfect for the 3 of us to stay. Only a couple of minor issues: water pressure was low and there was no cutting board in the kitchen. The owner was very nice and accommodating. The home was close to all attractions and very easy to find from the main road. Very quiet and peaceful.
We traveled all over Alaska and the Twin Puffins was definitely our favorite place to stay. It was immaculately maintained with all the amenities of home. A beautiful place to just hang out and take in the amazing views! The plants surrounding the cabin were beautiful. We were close enough to the activities we had planned to do but far enough away to feel like we were in a private, secluded location. Thank you for the fresh raspberry jam. It was delicious! We would definitely recommend staying at the Twin Puffins during your Alaska visit!
Our six nights at Twin Puffin were perfect. The weather was cool and cloudy, which was great for our hiking in the area. There are so many wonderful trails in the area. The cabin’s set up was great. Two bedrooms with king beds and two baths. The best feature though was the large deck, with Grand, unobstructed views of the bay and mountain range. Wow!!! The kitchen is large with a table for 6, which is open to the living area. Both areas look out to that marvelous view!

The hosts are the best!!! They welcomed us with super friendly and informational text messages, and responded quickly to our messages. The cabin was in immaculate condition and beautiful designed and decorated. A log cabin with all the modern conveniences of home. It overlooks pine trees and the Kachemak bay with the Kenai mountain range behind it... a beautiful view that changed with the movement of the sun! The seven mile drive out of Homer was great for seeing moose. We saw a bull and a cow with two calves. It was great for photos!
This is the perfect little getaway for two couples. Fantastic views, great little home, comfortable beds, easy access to amenities and activities yet with privacy. The building feels brand new, the small kitchen is well equipped. Margie is already planning a return visit with her family.
