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, Seaside was once part of an original Alaska pioneer homestead. It is also the home of hundreds of songbirds, moose, coyotes, wild hares, flocks of sandhill cranes, two sweet Morgan Horses, an assortment of chickens and visitors seeking peace, nature, wildlife, pristine beaches, in a real Alaska, non touristy setting. This property has three different types accommodations: Rustic, cozy cabins, a big field for tent campers, and a few spaces reserved for 4 wheel drive vans, and small vehicle camping, including rooftop tents If you prefer camping away from the tourist crowds, you will find our soft clover meadows and well kept lawns, a deluxe and memorable experience. The beach is a short walk down the trail, where its peaceful and private, with only the sound of the seagulls and waves. Van campers have a few special areas to park their vehicles, with views of the glaciers and mountains. There is limited parking and turnaround space, and we like our farm not too crowded, to provide a special rural experience to all who visit. It helps to call or text before you arrive to make sure we are on site and can help you with parking! 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 but 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 dogs, but 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!

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Seaside Farm offers a welcoming and serene environment for campers. The place is praised for its stunning views, cozy cabins, and proximity to nature, with sounds of the ocean and wildlife creating a peaceful atmosphere. While most guests found the accommodations clean and comfortable, a few noted minor inconveniences like dustiness and early morning rooster crows. Overall, the friendly host and beautiful setting make it a highly recommended choice for those visiting Homer.

    It was everything we needed and everything we wanted. If we had more time on our trip we would have happily spent several days at the cabin just enjoying the view from the porch and wandering along the beach at low tide. We were able to cook and eat a hot breakfast and snacks in the little kitchenette. The bed in the loft is very comfortable. The host was gracious enough to let us extend our stay and also to come in the off season. We would have loved to stay longer. Thank you always Ms. Mossy!

    Seaside Farm was the most magical place I’ve ever been. The views and sounds of the ocean brought me so much peace, and the cabin was so cozy! I will forever remember our candle lit nights and mornings on the porch listening to the birds. My only regret is we couldn’t stay longer. I hope to be back soon!
