Cozy inside with 2 bedrooms upstairs and ample room for extra bed if needed. Deck outside hosts BBQ and views you'll remember long after you're gone. Located about 15 minutes from town, one of the perks is the incredible drive out East End Road! You see Homer from a whole different perspective as you climb up to 1400ft above the bay! There is Fritz Creek General Store for staples, gas, post office and the best pizza in town! Also, this is "Alaska: The Last Frontier" country as the Kilchers homestead is in the Fritz Creek area only a few miles from The Husky Ranch! There is a State Parks hiking trail within a half mile of the ranch or just enjoy your run the place! Wildflowers galore! The house is 1400sq ft. and sleeps 4 in 2 queen beds; more possible! Wi-Fi, DISH TV, all amenities! Early in the season is referred to as 'break-up' and spring is still waking up but come mid June, watch out, the cranes land in the fields and moose frequently cruise through the yard! This once was a robust working sled dog ranch so keep your eye out for the old sleds that grace the property~Peaceful but gently wild~ Complete comfort for the soul and a tranquil spot in our "Cosmic Hamlet-by-the-Sea". Welcome~~!

When we got to the cabin in was after dark. But when we woke up the next morning OMG!! I can’t say much cause the views just took my breath away!!! The cabin was perfect for what we needed. This was a trip for us to get away and relax to reflect on the past year of my husbands passing. From the cabin to the view and the host. This was a perfect place to come enjoy and relax. We recommend this place!! We will be back next year!!!

From the minute we drove up to the cabin we loved it we hadn’t even gotten through the door. The view of the glaciers was amazing…the fireweed fields were gorgeous. We had all the equipment needed to make our meals….beds were comfortable. We would highly recommend this VRBO. We will definately stay here again next year.

Magnificent views and a wonderful rental
We loved our short stay here just outside of Homer! The views of the mountains and glaciers were amazing and the property was in a quiet location. We also appreciated the extra water bowls for dogs. The property managers were very helpful and kind (they made homemade muffins and told us where to find the best prices for gas and groceries!). We hope to be back next year for a longer stay!

Incredible view in cozy cabin
This was our hub for Homer area visit of Alaskan tour. Property was very clean, comfortable and welcoming for me and my son. The continuous view of beautiful flowers (fireweed I think?) against the blue and white of Kachemak bay, surrounding mountains and glaciers makes you want to move here! Would definitely come back!

Pictures do not due justice to this dog-friendly gem
My niece and I stayed here with our 2 dogs and It was our favorite for our trip to Alaska. Very homey, quiet, with amazing vistas. On the second night, we watched 5 moose graze on the property. 3 were a mom and her yearling twin boys. Lots of thoughtful touches for us and the dogs at the house as well. We are so grateful for the opportunity to stay here Thank you, Lorraine

Fritz Creek Paradise
The Husky Ranch exceeded our expectations in every way! It was our first trip to Homer and we fell head-over-heels, not just with Homer but with this location. The cabin is exceptionally clean and well appointed. The views are indescribable (the pictures don’t even begin to capture the scope). Waking in the morning to this is the true Alaskan experience, you feel very small in this incredible landscape. We live in Anchorage and have already began looking at nearby properties for our own little piece of this Fritz Creek paradise!

Unacceptable
There were multiple safety issues that made us need to leave: The water that came out of the faucet was brown. We tried to clear it but it was gross. There are very narrow and steep stairs with no banister or handholds. The strikes on the stairs were very narrow, as well. The bathroom is on the first floor which requires traveling down dangerous stairs during the night. Getting suitcases up the stairs was dangerous and almost impossible. We did not feel safe trying it. The grate over the deck by the front door had supports that were very soft and rotting. The front door would not stay closed and had to be held closed with a rock. The rain was coming through the living room windows. They asked that you don’t use the wood stove and keep the other heater set very low. There was no heat upstairs. They asked that the shower curtain be sprayed down with a bleaching cleaning agent after each use. Breathing medical issues made this impossible. We took many pictures and can send to you. This rental was WAY OVER PRICED. We offered to pay one night as we could not leave during the storm. We asked that the other two nights be reimbursed.

Authentic Alaskan Living
This authentic log cabin was set in a stunning location outside of Homer and the hustle and bustle of the Spit. The fall colors were incredible - looking out any of the many windows we enjoyed the fall fireweed foliage paired with the bright greens of a moist climate, bright shades of blue of Kachemak Bay, purple mountains topped with white and crystal blue glaciers all affected by the ever changing skies. We were mesmerized by the stars on 2 clear nights. On one beautiful morning as we drove around the country roads in the area we came upon 3 bears, a moose, 2 sandhill cranes and a Huskie ranch. We loved our time here. As seniors, we were a bit concerned when we saw that the bathroom is downstairs (narrow and without any handrails) while the comfy bedrooms are upstairs but by the second night we felt more confident negotiating the stairs for the middle of the night bathroom run! We would love to go back sometime to Husky Ranch!

Inspiring Views
The Fritz Creek Husky Ranch was a great property. It shows it's age, but everything works properly. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is adequately stocked with utensils. Washer and dryer worked well (thank goodness) and there was a new dishwasher. By far the most stunning aspects were the large windows on three sides of the house that showcased the surrounding mountains, bay and glaciers. It is about a 20 minute drive from Homer, but a rural setting is of high concern for us. We immensely enjoyed our time at the ranch. Mike & Ann
