Gorgeous Log Home - Stunning Views, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Infrared Sauna, & Trail

I'll let this 2024 Guest's review start off my description:

"Homer Stunner!!
I've been coming to Homer for over 30 years and this property has the best view of the Bay that I've seen. The well equipped property was a delightful home base for our family. Having coffee in the spa overlooking a glacier does not get old. Enjoying the fire pit in the evening also added to the overall experience. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a special Homer experience."

Playful Ravens: A Luxurious Family Retreat with Heart-Enriching Views

-New for 2026 season a private 1/4 mile trail surrounds our home. It's magical.-

Welcome to Playful Ravens, an elegant family home perched above stunning views that can be enjoyed from nearly every window, the expansive deck, or while soaking in the hot tub. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Homer, this peaceful retreat offers quick access to all the charm and activities the area has to offer.

One of our favorite pastimes is watching the sunrise or sunset from the spectacular deck, and we’re sure you’ll love it too. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, warming up in the sauna, or gathering around the fire pit, this home provides countless ways to create lasting memories with family and friends.

With four spacious bedrooms, there’s plenty of room for privacy and comfort. The movie room, complete with a cozy couch which transforms into a comfortable bed and a wall of books, is perfect for streaming your favorite shows or relaxing after a day of adventures. For deeper relaxation, enjoy the four-person infrared sauna.

The fully equipped kitchen is a cook’s dream, featuring All-Clad pans, a double convection oven, and a large fridge/freezer—ideal for crafting memorable meals. And if you reel in a fresh catch during your stay, it’ll make the perfect centerpiece for dinner!

The side yard’s large fire pit is perfect for gathering around in the evenings to share drinks, stories, and lasting memories.

Playful Ravens earned its name from the air currents surrounding the bluff, creating a haven for birds. Eagles, ravens, and hawks often soar and play on the breezes—nature at its finest.
