Mossy Kilcher is the eldest of the family shown on Discovery's TV series, Alaska The Lasts Frontier and the aunt of pop singer Jewel. She was born and raised in the Alaska wilderness, and for the past 40 years has enjoyed sharing her lifestyle and home with guests from around the world. With her husband Cornelius, she raises beef cattle, Morgan horses, chickens (farm fresh eggs available!), grows raspberries, and makes her own hay. She is an artist, naturalist, photographer, plays the guitar, and produced Alaska's first female folk album in 1977, North Wind Calling. She continues her childhood passions--writing, composing songs, and recording and filming songbirds and their habitats. Mossy enjoys giving nature workshops, and sharing her knowledge of the local birds She created the DVD songbirds and their nests from footage recorded over the years, as well as a songbird CD, with her work available in local galleries. Above all, Mossy is an ardent advocate for the wilderness and the simple, shared lifestyle.

I love this old house because it reminds me--and everyone who visits--of my own childhood. It feels like grandma's farm.
Its nothing fancy, dont expect the best western hotel! Facilities are shared, and a bit rustic. I try to create an out of the way, down home, winnie the pooh playful feeling. I want people to have a retreat here, or mingle with people, enjoy solitude or wildlife and connect with your inner child, with nature and simpler times.

As an added bonus, I will be glad to organize a special tour of my family's cabin at the Kilcher Homestead. Advance notice is required.

The town of Homer is only 5 miles away, with art galleries, theatre, fancy restaurants, coffee shops, fishing opportunities, boat rides, and tours available.
