This cabin is new and very well maintained. You will want to remove your shoes prior to entry and they ask that you don't clean your fish on site. That said, it was perfect for my family, with all of the conveniences of home. We loved every minute and would highly recommend Bear Canyon Cottages.

Great Family Getaway!

I stayed here with my family of 5 and we had a great time. The place is new, clean, and has everything you need. The front yard is a large mowed field where we enjoyed playing frisbee and the kids enjoyed running around. The house is close to everything in Homer and also has a gorgeous view. Communication and check-in/out was easy. I hope to stay here again and would recommend this VRBO highly. Thanks!

Perfect cabin for our stay!

This place is brand new and very well appointed. The view is spectacular and the yard is huge which is awesome if you have kiddos with you. The pump track/bike park is also pretty close which was an unexpected bonus for us. After 20 years of living in AK we also made it up to the Bear Creek Winery which was just .7 miles away and the perfect way to kill an hour.

The cabin sits on a grassy lawn looking out to the Kachemak Bay, Grewingk Glacier, and the whole Kenai Mountains. The cabin was well equipped, very very clean and inviting. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. We recommend Bear Creek Cottages to anyone.
