Very nice property which made our 3 day stay very pleasant. There was a minor issue that came about in the accuracy of the property description but Jennifer rectified the issue and to our satisfaction. Very cozy for a party of 4 and reasonably priced.

Loved every bit of it. We assumed the coin operated laundry was on the premises but managed without. Homer was great fun and the property location is awesome. Howard, Dottie, Ambrose and Harriet were so enjoyable too.

We had such a lovely stay in Homer. There were 4 adults and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The cabin was very clean, though somewhat minimal, which we appreciated as it gave us plenty of room to move around. Would definitely come back here and highly recommend this place!

Gorgeous views
A lovely cabin with incredible views and everything you could need. Great market nearby, just 5 minutes to town. Serene spot. We saw a mamma moose and baby walking across the lawn out front. The owners were friendly and even let me pick some rhubarb to make a crisp! We'd stay here every time we visit Homer.

Beautiful cabin and perfect place to stay
We have stayed in many places in Homer over the years and this tops them all! Everything was perfect! From the communication with the host/hostess to the cleanliness of the cabins to the comfort of the bed, we cannot think of one thing we would improve. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Homer! Loved it!
