Fire & Ice LodgingRatesNestled on the shores of Kachemak Bay, Homer is a nature-lover's delight and a "must see" for all travelers to Alaska. Perched between boreal forest, alpine tundra, temperate rain forest, and a productive marine environment, the area accommodates a rich diversity of birdlife, fish, whales, ocras other mammals including moose and brown bears in all seasons and in spectacular abundance in the summer.  Homer is the summer residence for the elegant Sandhill Crane and the rocky islands in Kachemak Bay are home to two types of Puffins.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have many birds, such as Eagles, deep blue Stellar Jays, Gray Jays, Redpolls, Grosbeaks, Nuthatches, sparrows and many others and even a pheasant feeding at the birdfeeder.

Moose seem to love the alder trees in our yard and many a morning we have had a mother and calf  grazing.  One winter we had a young moose licking salt off the front steps.  (Please take care and do NOT approach as they are dangerous and very protective of their young.)

This year (2009) we had even had a black bear cross our front yard into the woods behind our property and this past winter we saw a lynx.

We have an abundance of wildlife right in our yard.  Everyday we see Bald Eagles flying by and many perch on the trees on the property.  We have even had one fly up to our bird feeder and front window.
