Comfortably furnished second floor apartment that needed some TLC. Several lights needed bulbs or maintenance and the shower head was held on with rubber band's. The floor hadn't been well cleaned. All this is easily fixed and the chairs and beds were comfy. It's a beautiful location with a friendly dog next door.
This property is located ion a beautiful hillside location overlooking Homer. Very private and quiet. Jason, the host was welcoming and easy to communicate with.
We had a lovely time in Homer and the Otters Den was perfect spot to stay. The communication with the owner was wonderful and they were very helpful and accommodating too. We would love to stay here again in the future.
This place was in a perfect location and the view was incredible. It was very clean and in excellent shape. All the beds were comfortable, and the recliner & couch reclined. The host was very friendly and understanding. Highly recommend :)
Beautiful property and Jason was a great host! Great spot for a family with a dog! My Lizzie moved it, as did our family! Beds were excellent!!! Will definitely book again!
We had a lovely stay at Otters Den! The property is absolutely gorgeous, and the clean, cozy upstairs unit was just what our little family of four needed for our stay in Homer. Jason, the host, was very responsive. He even brought out some lawn games for the kids to play! Thanks for a great stay!
They allow dogs, which is cool. They have dogs that roam around which isn’t that cool because the mastic isn’t very friendly. Otherwise it was a great spot and a great location.
Great place to stay, be aware there are very steep steps in/out as it is on the second floor. Not suitable for someone who has any mobility or balance issues. The view isgreat
Wonderful place to stay in Homer. Location was gorgeous, you can see the spit from their front windows. The house was well maintained and furnished. The owner was very responsive and friendly. Having grown up in anchorage and having been to Homer hundreds of times, this place is on the top of my list. Their effort to make a beautiful place for guests is well shown. We thank them again!

Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to having you back soon!
Excellent choice for us. We enjoyed our time in Homer and staying at the Otter’s Den made it even more memorable. Morning moose visits and awesome views are some of the highlights. Our boys loved the e-mountain bikes. Thanks to both our hosts Jason and Teena for making our stay more enjoyable.
Perfection in paradise does not begin to describe this beautiful home in this gorgeous location. Minutes from the Homer Spit yet secluded in the mountains overlooking the gorgeous scenery of the Homer Spit with the mountain backdrop. We stayed in the Otters Den and Lazy Moose. Super clean and comfortable with anything you could need. Beautiful outdoor deck with grill offered excellent space for our group to relax. The washer dryer was great with easy access in a room between two units. Great kitchen with all supplies available. Great parking. Excellent hosts with easy communication. Five stars all the way around. Thanks for sharing your perfect place in paradise with us! We loved it!
My family (which includes two dogs) loved staying here. The unit was clean and inviting, and we had everything we needed to get settled in. A nice bonus that isn't pictured is that they have a Keurig for coffee. They also have a new partially covered deck that is for the upstairs unit, and the deck in the picture is for the downstairs unit. Some previous reviews mention the stairs being steep. From what I could tell, they fixed that issue with the addition of the new deck and staircase. It was no steeper than a standard staircase. The yard was expansive, and our dogs loved playing in it. The hosts were very friendly, responsive, and welcoming. I absolutely recommend this unit for a family getaway in Homer.

Thank you for the very thoughtful and informative review. I need to update my site, and brag a little more.:)
Beautiful, extremely clean property. We were on the upper level of the cabin with great views. Cabin had everything you could need or want during your stay. Beds were extremely comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. We had 4 adults and 2 teenagers in there. Hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. They went above and beyond helping us find a last minute fishing charter when the one we had was cancelled due to mechanical issues. Also loved that there was a washer & dryer available, very much needed after a day out on a fishing charter! I would definitely rent here again if we get back to the Homer area!
