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.

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!

Great communication with hosts, very easy check-in process. The cottage is extremely clean and well equipped for all your needs for a nice stay in Homer. Very quiet and peaceful setting and waking up to Sand Hill cranes every morning was a nice bonus. Thanks again!

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.

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.
