Maisons de vacances en Alaska - Fern Creek Home; près de la ville, confort et vues

I was born and raised in Homer, my husband, Kit is from Scotland. While I have never moved away from Homer, I have done considerable travel. Kit and I have chosen (in my case re-chosen) Homer for our own love of hiking, fishing, camping, and boating.

Previously we worked in Bush Alaska during the school year, I was a high school English teacher, Kit has worked as a VPSO (Village Public Safety Officer), alcohol distribution agent, and school bus driver, then Maintenance & Operations for the school. We are now living in Homer full time and loving it!

This house has a bit of family history. My brother build it in 1991 when his family was young and growing. He commercially fished both Bristol Bay, Alaska (red salmon) and San Clemente, California (lobster). Most of the year he and his family lived in San Clemente, but spent a month or so on either side of the Bristol Bay season in Homer - where they visited family and prepared for the summer season in the Bay. They had outgrown our mother's house for such long stays, so he and I made the agreement that he would build a small cabin on the edge of my property for their use when they were in town and for my use as a summer rental when they weren't. Construction started as I took off for a month long moose hunting trip. Imagine my surprise when I returned to find this two-story 24 X 24 house with double decks!

After some "water under the bridge" and a few years later, Kit and I purchased the house from my brother.
