About this property

Volcano Vista: Adventure Chalet w/ View, 2br (dry property, check description)

  • Relax in the tranquility of a comfy getaway w/ a view. 20 scenic min. from Homer, AK, panoramic vistas, outdoor opportunities, and the charm of a chalet w/ most of the comforts of home. About a mile to Homer Rope Tow, Lookout Mtn. ski trails, & back country trails. Explore nearby trails in any season by foot, snowshoe, ski, fat tire bike, snow machine, or ATV. Wonderful for some time away in winter. Perfect for solitude in summer!

    2 story, 900 sq. ft. chalet with a bedroom on each floor. Each bedroom also has a twin air mattress available for sleeping options. Full kitchen except no running water. (12 gal. of delicious well water is provided per 2 nights.) Bathroom is an outdoor, well lit outhouse complete with heater that is switched on from the chalet. Heat sources are wood stove and oil monitor stove. Relax and enjoy views of the Anchor River valley by day and (hopefully!) northern lights from the deck or living room by night (in winter). In summer and fall take in the rolling hills of forest and fire weed. Upstairs landing has a small TV/DVD player and a selection of DVDs as well as toys, books, baby gate, and pack 'n' play. Opposite small deck has firewood storage and access to outhouse. Fire ring is available in the yard, please bring your own firewood. Wood for wood stove provided. On clear days spot Redoubt volcano from the deck. Location is about 1 mile from Watermelon Trail, Homer Rope Tow, and Lookout Mountain ski trails. In summer the Watermelon Trail is accessible for hiking, fat tire biking, and ATV adventures. Volcano Vista is a great place to relax after a day of fishing or exploring the Spit and Homer must-sees (Pratt Museum, Islands & Ocean, Wynn Nature Center, etc!). Best for 4 guests, up to 2 additional guests, $20 per additional guest per night. Cell phone coverage can be spotty, but is generally reliable. Enjoy a glamping getaway, jumping off point for family adventure, or bring your visitors above Homer for a quiet evening in the hills. ** Please note: parking is nearby and the chalet is not visible from the road. Access is a short walk along the edge of the yard.

The cabin was perfect for our needs. Everything was clean, all the cooking supplies we needed, lots of small touches like motion lights in the kitchen and outhouse and slippers. The fireplace made the place very cozy and my kids loved having the upstairs to themselves and the treat of a TV and DVD player! The location could not be beat for the event we were attending just a mile down the road!

Spring time weekend away

Very clean cabin with the two queen beds being comfortable. It's a ways from town but accessible. The road there is pretty bumpy, normal Alaskan life. Gorgeous views. The kids enjoyed the outhouse experience after all.

Picked a cold and windy hockey tournament weekend. But the view was fantastic! Stars were out just like on top of a Hawaiian volcano, only better. And colder. Great communication with host, Homer is a fun town with great food. Next time we’re back, staying at Volcano Vista again.

Wonderful property in nice very quiet and private location. Very well equipped, felt almost as if it was our own summerhouse.Owner lives nearby and is very responsive if you have a need or concern. View from the house is absolutely stunning. We were there on some cloudier and rainier days. Nonetheless, the fascinating view kept changing and surprising us!

A Perfect Family Retreat – Can’t Wait to Come Back!

The Adventure Chalet is pure magic. This was our second time staying here, and we’re already planning our third. Rachel and Jason have created a true refuge that feels like it was designed with families—and especially kids—in mind.From the thoughtful decor to the well-stocked amenities, every detail is warm, welcoming, and fun. And that view—absolutely breathtaking. It’s just as gorgeous as the photos, if not more.Even the outhouse is charming (I actually wish I’d taken a photo of the interior—it’s that cute!).We’re so grateful to Rachel and Jason for sharing this special place. It’s beautiful inside and out, and we feel incredibly lucky to return to it again and again.Highly recommend to anyone looking for a family-friendly, soul-filling Homer getaway.
Morning magic! The view of the mountains is stunning, but what made it extra special were the thoughtful welcome gifts: a glass of wine for the adults and popcorn for the kids. A simple touch that made us feel truly cared for and welcome.
Not just a house—it’s an adventure clubhouse for kids and a cozy retreat for grown-ups. From the layout to the details, it feels like it was designed to spark imagination and joy. Our kids never wanted to leave, and honestly, neither did we.
A peek inside Volcano Vista: we fully made ourselves at home (mess and all). My son found his happy place curled up in that sunlit corner with a blanket so soft I’m now hunting it down for our house. This chalet doesn’t just look good—it feels good.

Off the beaten path cabin

If you are looking for a quite place to stay, this is you one. The kitchen was well stocked and they provided plenty of water. The views were amazing but you can't see the spit from the house. During the 30 min drive from the spit is some of the most beautiful views we had so far. Oh and one last thing, if your wife is not tracking what a dry cabin means, please inform them.

Fantastic stay

We loved our time at this VRBO. Whenever I had a question, Rachel was extremely prompt in replying. The one thing I can't stress enough is how beautiful the view is from the front window (which faces the back). The fireweed is blooming and the contrast with the trees looking all the way down and out - simply breathtaking. We saw the volcano our first night, when it was clear. Amazing. When the clouds rolled in, it was still lovely. We loved Homer and enjoyed the hike across the bay at the state park. We were so glad we stayed at this place (impeccably clean, great kitchen amenities - and did I mention the view??) instead of in town or on the Spit. It gave a completely different perspective and being higher up was just beautiful. Washing dishes was a little challenging, but the dry cabin experience was just fine. Great spot!

The Vista Is Calling You Must Go

If you want to "fly like an eagle", this rustic-chic cabin is the place for you. From the comfort of the back porch, we were able to see magpies, a young eagle and even a young bull moose. Watching him graze for almost an hour made time stand still and made us feel closer to nature. We were slightly apprehensive about staying in a dry cabin. As the outhouse was just steps away, it was no problem even for city slickers like us. Having to "rough it" a little only added to the charm of our visit. The newly built cabin is a twenty minute drive up and inland from Homer proper. It is very clear with many beautiful decorative touches. The kitchen is well stocked with the essentials like hot cocoa and popcorn and there is an outstanding selection of books about the area to feed the mind. The hosts seemed to have thought of everything a guest might need including eye masks although they weren't really needed. This property is the perfect Alaskan getaway!

A true place to relax

Just driving there I knew that this place was going to be a good stay, the hills were covered with wild flowers trees and we even saw a bull moose from the property. Very charming place to stay with your love one or friends. Just minutes from the homer spit. We enjoyed grilling our catch from our fishing charter trip and had our dinner outside next to the fire pit outside with a beautiful view. Can’t wait to come back next time. Thanks so much.
