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!

A few things that make my place unique:
My 5 acres is part of the famous 620-acre Kilcher Homestead, as seen on “Alaska the Last Frontier” TV show. I am the 7th of the 8 children; Atz and Otto are my brothers. There is a special feeling here vibrating in the land, and why our parents picked this spot. Full outdoor kitchen with all you need to cook and wash up; BBQ, hotplate, pure drinking water, spices, pots/pans/dishes etc. The atmosphere feels so pure, so silent, so wild yet comfortable. Drive-in access sometimes, or have to walk 15 minutes, and no issues with mosquitoes!!! You get to meet me and maybe other family members as you cruise around. Homer is 35 minutes away, with oodles of things to do there: great restaurants, a lap pool, fun shopping, etc. We have quite good cell reception here. Lots of options to enjoy your stay!

Mairiis was very helpful in locating a spot on her property with privacy and a great view. It’s a million dollar view across Kachemak Bay.

We camper-vanned (there are cabins too as well as places for tent-camping). Fantastic everything. Incredible views. Peaceful. Bird Sanctuary. Sandhill Cranes flying over in the evening against the backdrop of the Bay and mountain range. Hostess is super friendly. Would stay there every time we ever find ourselves in Homer. Just 5 miles to town if we needed anything but far away from the tourist stuff. Six stars. :)

Serena was a super host! The campsite was as advertised, but when we got there we noticed that the Meadows site better fit our needs than the Sweet Spot and was unoccupied at the time. Serena was quick to our request to change sites and generous in accommodating our request. She also helped us with an unexpected supply shortage and saved us a long trip to the closest store. The site itself is lovely, very quiet and right next to shore so it gave us a beautiful sunrise view of Mt. Redoubt. With Serena's assistance we had a great and memorable stay!

Seaside Farm is an amazing location. Very close to Homer and The Spit. Incredible views and beach. Mairii is a delightful woman. I loved all the special touches and the wildlife.💖

We camped in the meadow. There is a flat spot to camp at the top and the rest of the meadow has a slight downhill slope. Amazing views of Coal Cove and the mountains and glacier. 15 Sandhills cranes flew overhead last night and went to the sand flats at low tide. The pavilion has a sink and two electric burners for common use along with seating to be out of the rain. It is a lovely, tranquil spot to camp.

What a lovely property! We got lucky and got there on a day with nice weather. The grounds are nicely maintained with access to the beach. The camping meadow also has a beautiful view of Katchemak bay. They also have a community kitchen which offers stove, table, and sink with drinking water. We stayed with our camper van & parked next to the community pavilion, though not as picturesque it was level & the property was quiet at night. We recommend the property to tent campers who loves rustic/minimalist vibes & beautiful views as well as campers with 4x4 since they can park further into the farm.

This was a beautiful farm stay which completely exceeded my expectations. I stayed with my two pups in my van camper across from the horses and barn. The views and walk to the private beach were the best. I’d happily return to this spot in the future. I know other people were staying on the property in various cabins and camp spots but we hardly saw anyone while we were there (minus our host - mossy meeting us on arrival). A total local gem on a well kept property.

Incredible little cabin with the best view. Definitely bring some steaks and cook out on the grill! We played scrabble and loved the added touch of having art supplies. What a beautiful little getaway. We will be recommending this place to our friends! Thank you Serena for everything 💕✨

2 nights at Kilcher Homestead MiracleMeadow
Kiltcher’s Homestead is a beautiful, relaxing, clean and safe place to have our getaway. The lighthouse was the cutest, coziest room. We enjoyed reading books from the selection in the lighthouse while sitting in the sun. We walked to the beach and made a campfire

The site was beautiful with great views. We camped near the house on leave gravel.. if we had 4 wheel drive on our Sprinter Van, we could have camped in a field, which would have been nice. But we were totally satisfied with our position

Weekend Trip to Seaside Farm
We had such a lovely time at the farm! The Hideaway cabin was private and beautiful. We loved waking up to the sounds of the waves from the bay, and exploring the beach. This was the perfect home base to explore Homer from.
