Small quaint cabin in big indoor space.

This cosy little place in the Homer AK area fit into our escape from Swan lake fire plan perfectly. Thank you for your hospitality!

Simple Pleasures

What a beautiful and unique place to stay! The cottage was so clean and comfortable with so many special touches. The bed was divine with a luxurious comforter! The bathroom was clean and perfect with anything you would need. Sitting in the rocking chairs in the greenhouse with chickens around your feet was just the best!! We loved our stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We were very disappointed, as it did not match the pictures. Property was unkempt and overgrown with weeds. The outhouse had cobwebs and was not very clean. The cottage was a bit rundown, and poorly supplied. There were no paper towels or tissues, and only 2 little kitchen towels and 1 washcloth, so it was difficult to maintain any decent hygiene, or even wash the dishes. If you are considering this place, bring towels and all your own supplies.

Quiet, with kind people

The tree house is so cute! The bed was comfortable (there is room for 6 people to sleep here) and it is toasty warm. The highway was shut down, so I was an hour and a half late-- got in well after sundown, and my hosts were waiting up for me. They were very kind.

Thank you Anya! To clarify for anyone who reads this, the weather was such that we thought Anya would be more comfortable in Treehouse Too, another unit that can be found on VRBO. The Cottage sleeps three and is super cute, hope this avoids any confusion. We enjoyed having you Anya, please come again!

Very friendly and homey! Free ranging chickens!

Very friendly proprietors and delicious muffins upon arrival. Cottage was clean and comfortable. With a little pre-planning you can create entire meals with just one pan, one pot, and a single electric burner. We loved family time in the greenhouse, and were visited by chickens each evening.

Lovely cottage and property

We arrived very late so the owner was kind enough to send a map of the property and there were 3 delicious raspberry muffins waiting for us. The cottage inside of the greenhouse is charming and homey. If we could stay here forever we would. Such a friendly and quaint place. The tree house common room is great, fit with a fireplace, record player and wonderful views. We will hopefully be back again whenever we return to Homer. Thank you Lorraine and Darren :)

A wonderful marriage of camping, a fancy hotel, and a beautiful garden.

I am so excited to review this greenhouse cottage, because I almost did not book this place as it had no prior reviews, and that would have been a shame. This is such a gorgeous property! We literally spent our first hour here taking pictures. The inside of the cottage is just as cute as the outside, with clean, new, nice furniture and bedding. The bathroom, though not attached, is big, warm, clean, and fully functional. The hosts provide everything you need in terms of towels, bedding, dishes, soap, etc. We were even greeted with two huge delicious homemade blueberry muffins. There are a lot of bugs on the property, but we were really careful to not open the door enough to let bugs in. A few did slip in, but they were easy to catch, and we did not get bitten. There was a cat, chickens, and a porcupine running around the yard. There is a wooden swing hanging from the tree house. In general, so so so picturesque. When else are you going to get to stay in the middle of nowhere, in a greenhouse, in a cottage?
