Seaside Farm is a 30 acre, magical, park like farm on the shores of Kachemak Bay, just outside of Homer, a few miles down from the Kilcher Homestead where I grew up in the 1940's! . Now a song bird sanctuary, with trails, lawns, gardens, trees, hay fields, and a private beach, cabins, a clover camping meadow, it was also once part of an original Alaska pioneer homestead. Although an organic farm, with hay fields, pastures, farm buildings and raspberry patch, it is also the home of hundreds of songbirds, moose, coyotes, wild hares, flocks of sandhill cranes, two sweet Morgan Horses, and an assortment of chickens. I love sharing my farm and home with travelers, and visitors seeking peace, nature, wildlife, walks on pristine beaches, and connecting with nature, in a real Alaska, original, and non touristy setting. This property has three different types accommodations: Rustic, cozy cabins (no indoor running water), a big field for tent campers only, and a few spaces reserved for 4 wheel drive vans , and similar small vehicle camping, including rooftop tents and occasionally a small pop up trailer. If you prefer camping away from the tourist crowds, you will find our soft clover meadows, surrounded by green trees and well kept lawns, a deluxe and memorable experience. The beach is a short walk down the trail, where its peaceful and private, with no motorized vehicles or noisy crowds, only the sound of the seagulls, and the waves. Van campers have a few special areas to park their vehicles, most with a stunning view of the glaciers and mountains. There is limited parking and turnaround space, and we like our farm peaceful and not too crowded to provide a special rural experience to all who visit this magical farm. It helps to call or text before you arrive to make sure we are on site and can help you with parking and other details! There are three cabins sprinkled throughout the property. Two are off grid, close to the beach, private and magical, with wood stoves. All cabins are able to use the main farm lodge amenities, just a few minutes walk away and have their own outhouses..all with amazing views! You can walk on the beach from the main lodge parking area, there is a covered camping pavilion available to all guests, a communal campfire spot and bbq grill, lovely maintained walking trails and meadows, and even wifi! We allow most types of dogs, but do ask you to contact us before booking with us, so we can let you know our rules before you travel. All dogs must be well behaved, social, on leashes and at owner's side at all times to protect our trusting wildlife from accidental harm, like our baby pheasants, moose, bunnies, and songbird nests! TOURS OPTION As the eldest of the Kilcher clan (yes, the homestead family portrayed on the "Alaska The Last Frontier" tv series), and when time allows, I'm open to give a special tour of the unique and historic Kilcher Family Homestead and original sod roofed, log cabin museum. Available only by special prior arrangement for an extra fee (donation to the museum)

Seashell Glamping Cabin

We had a lovely stay and would recommend staying at Seaside Farm to anyone. We stayed in the Seashell cabin and enjoyed amazing views and quick access to the beach. Our stay was cozy and felt secluded while still having easy access to town.

Beach Hideaway Cabin

I’m unsure that you’d ever be able to find a piece of property as spectral at and accommodating as Mossy’s seaside place. It’s an absolute time capsule overlooking the bay with the bubbliest, gentlest hostess. You will be completely wooed by the animal (wild and domestic), the fields and the beach front. You will swap stories with other wanderers and delight in what this Earth brings forth.

Beach Hideaway Cabin

Our Homer home!

This small cabin was absolute heaven. We had the best time here, and the hosts were incredibly generous and accommodating. Although we had a short stay, the cabin was more than picture us with a perfect view of the beach. We can’t wait to come back again.

Seashell Glamping Cabin

Mossy’s space and the area she’s called home for so long was a dream come true. A truly special place that all should visit if they are in the area.

Beach Hideaway Cabin

Rejuvenated by Nature

This spot was so beautiful. We arrived a little tired and travel-worn, but being surrounded by nature and the sounds of the water got us very rested and relaxed.

Seaside Farm Meadows

Ended up just spending the afternoon looking at the view. Could not get enough. Nice cushy grass for camping and quiet.
