Looking for the perfect romantic Alaska vacation surrounded by wild beauty? Look no further than Baycrest Lodge in Homer — the ultimate couples’ sanctuary on the Kenai Peninsula. Here’s why it’s the ideal spot for a dreamy getaway:

Secluded Cottages with Unsurpassed Peace

At Baycrest, couples can slip away in beautifully appointed one- or two-bedroom Alaska cottages — each nestled privately on the hillside overlooking Kachemak Bay. Think vaulted ceilings, locally crafted furnishings, private decks, plush king-size or queen-size beds, and cozy gas or wood-burning fireplaces. No traffic noise, no crowds, just tranquility and quality time together.

 

Private Jacuzzis & Hot Tubs

Want to soak beneath a blanket of Alaskan stars after a day of exploring? Baycrest provides access to an intimate outdoor Jacuzzi, perfectly paired with the crisp sea air. For even more privacy, some cottages feature their own hot tubs—ideal for sipping wine and stealing kisses in a peaceful, nature-infused setting.

 

Breathtaking Sunsets Over Kachemak Bay

Picture this: you and your partner seated on your private deck, glass of local wine in-hand, as vibrant hues of pink, purple, and orange paint the sky. Kachemak Bay’s coast creates a canvas for one of Alaska’s most stunning sunsets—best enjoyed in quiet, romantic silence.
