All rooms feature blackout curtains to provide our guests a restful nights sleep.
OUTDOOR PATIO:
In the evenings, unwind on the cabin's private deck, where you can watch the sunset over the bay and enjoy a BBQ dinner cooked on the outdoor grill. And when you're ready to retire for the night, you'll fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the water lapping against the shore.
The biggest draw of our cabin is the incredible outdoor opportunities that await you. The Kachemak Bay State Park is a hiker's paradise, with over 200 miles of trails that wind through this stunning landscape. You can also explore the park by kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard, taking in the breathtaking views of glaciers, mountains, and wildlife. For fishermen, the waters of Halibut Cove are teeming with trophy halibut, salmon, and rockfish, and there are several local charter companies that can take you out on the water for an unforgettable day of fishing.
With a unique combination of adventure and leisure on the edge of the wilderness, there’s no better way to have an authentic Alaskan trip of a lifetime. No matter how you prefer to spend your Alaska vacation, we’re excited to help you create a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the Last Frontier!

Summary: We just returned from an 11 day trip to Alaska. There were a total of 4 adults in our group and all would say the highlight of the trip was our stay at Coho Cabana in Halibut Cove! Eric & Sarah have created a restful retreat, just far enough away from the busyness of the world that we felt disconnected for a few days. We were treated to easy access, beautiful scenery, wildlife viewing, hiking, kayaking, local dining, as well as many other local attractions. The cabin is very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed watching the tidal changes from the deck, as well as while enjoying a beachside fire. Fresh oysters from the farm stand directly in front of the cabin were an extra special treat.Eric & Sarah are amazing hosts, providing excellent communications from our original booking, to our arrival, throughout our stay, and upon departure. We especially appreciated the extra info during a tsunami warning! It helped us navigate our safety measures with ease. Coho Cabana is now on our top 10 vacation destination list. We would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Homer and may be craving a little corner of the world for peace and tranquility. We hope to return some day!
