This is one of the nicest vacation homes that I've ever stayed in. I could truly tell that the owners wanted our stay to be perfect, and it was for my entire family. The location and view can't be beat. I highly recommend staying here.
Very easy. Check in great communication with the host. House was amazing. Plenty of room for all of us and everything we needed.. the views were incredible. Definitely will come back again.
Clean home with great space for larger group. Room for 4 couples with private bathrooms. The view is beyond description. BREATHTAKING! Hosts are very accomodating and available whenever you need them.
We had such an amazing time! The house is beautiful and honors the history of the area. The host was absolutely AMAZING making sure we had everything we needed to make our satay comfortable (as it is a short drive back to town). We were on a long trip covering 2200 miles of the state in 7 days and by the time we got to Homer we were ready to be "at the end of the road" and relax watching the glaciers and the bay. We couldn't have asked for a better location or better hosts. Thank you for making our son's graduation trip so memorable.
Beautiful accommodations and location for our stay with family. Home has everything you could ask for. Hope to return again soon. Thank you Kath & Rich!
The Aurora Jewel was an amazing place to stay for a family of 6. Everyone had their own space, the views were amazing and our hosts Kath and Rich were attentive. I would highly recommend this property if you are planning to spend any time in Homer, Alaska.
We loved our stay in Homer! Kathy and Richard were great host. We enjoyed seeing the moose in the yard. Even though the weather wasnât great we truly enjoyed our time at Aurora Jewel!! We would love to come back and stay in the future!
This home was spectacular! The big windows gave stunning views of the mountains, glaciers and bay! Very well stocked and clean. Comfy beds and everything you could ask for. The hosts were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed!
This is hands down the cleanest place weâve ever stayed at! Kathy & Rich were awesome to deal with!!! The view is absolutely stunning! Will definitely stay here again if we ever go back to Homer! Saw cow/ calf moose and bear from the cabin!! Easy access from the highway!
We enjoyed our stay at Fitz Creek. The house was in a perfect location just a short distance from Homer. The view was incredible! Our host Katherine was amazing and very helpful. She met us when we arrived and gave us great information about the area.
We had a great time in Homer and our stay at Aurora Jewel. Aside from the breathtaking views, the home was clean, well kept and conveniently located to Homer. Kathy & Rich were great hosts and a wealth of information of the area, if you need advice they're more than happy to help! Thank you for making your wonderful home available for us to stay in!
Nice property with fabulous views. Spacious. Accommodated our group of 9 no problem. Need to be able to do at least one flight of stairs (entrance to the house).
It was a great house and fit our needs really well. Cousins and their spouse's over 60 getting together for a week of fishing. House was very comfortable and because of the cool rainy weather, it was nice having a fire in the fireplace. Thanks again for everything. We all had a wonderful time.
We are three brothers and their wives. The Aurora Jewel was the perfect final stay in our Alaska vacation. Each couple had their own private space with plenty of other space where we could be together! The view to the mountains and water were more than spectacular!! Sitting on the front porch was our favorite!! Kath and Rich were so welcoming and full of information for us! If you are looking to stay in Homer, don't miss out on this gem!!
This was a property in a rural community with an incredible view of mountains, glaciers and Kachemak Bay. We loved the coziness of the home with the wonderful fireplace and unlimited firewood, that we used a lot. Well stocked kitchen and very comfortable beds made it a great stay for our family group of grandma & grandpa, mom & dad and 3 teen-aged kids. The main floor bedroom was a bonus for grandma & grandpa.
The hosts were incredibly helpful & available. Would definitely stay there again.
The Aurora Jewel was absolutely great. The home is large and spacious with one of the best views in the Homer area. The house is just spectacular. The surrounding lawn and outside area are large and very well maintained. The hosts, Kathy and Rich, are very welcoming and will provide area information that you will be interested checking out. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book this home again when in Homer, Alaska.
Great home, great view and outstanding hosts!!!!
We had a great stay at the Aurora Jewel!! The views are absolutely stunning and we had everything we needed for our party of 5. The table was perfect for playing games while enjoying the long days and gorgeous views. The beds were so comfortable!
We saw a moose on several occasions and a pheasant (I believe it was). It was a perfect location to enjoy Homer during day and family time at night.
The hosts are wonderful and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed and we felt very welcomed.
We will always look to stay at the Aurora Jewel when in Homer!
Thank you for the great stay!
The view is one of the best in Homer and because it is the Old East End Road there is VERY little traffic. The yard is huge and beautiful, front and back porches for diff
erent times of the day, one of them with a great grill. The house is so well equipped and the beds extremely comfortable. Every bedroom has a bath to go with it. When I vacation I spend time in the kitchen and really appreciated all the space and kitchen wares. I would go back again, no question
We have traveled extensively within the US and multiple countries, and oh my goodness--this is by far our FAVORITE place in the world! The space and location are outstanding and work perfectly for our family of five. This home is stocked with everything that you need and if there is an issue, the owners are just a few minutes away. They are so very kind and will do whatever they can to ensure that your stay is memorable! While the location is about 25 minutes from the Homer Spit, it's worth staying out of town. The view is second to none and your chances of wildlife spotting are greatly increased. This is our second stay and it will not be our last!

Location, location, location. Quiet setting with stunning panoramic views of the glaciated Kenai Mountain range and the sapphire-blue waters of Kachemak Bay. House is cedar, spacious, and ready to make you feel at home in Homer. space includes over 3 acres... fire pit overlooks incredible view... Fireweed, moose, sandhill cranes, eagles, ... and, ah, peace and quiet. Serenely magnificent.
