This house is brand new and everything is in tip top condition. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are beautiful with fluffy towels and the kitchen is very well stocked. The view from the many windows is beautiful. Our family of 6 adults had a wonderful stay. We actually didn't spend much time in the house as we were out doing the many amazing things available in Homer, but we loved the time we spent there and would definitely return.
