What a wonderful property! We were in town from out of state for a college family weekend and absolutely loved staying in this beautiful home. Our children were able to stay with us as there are 6 gorgeous bedrooms and we walked in to downtown Homer (adorable town!) for breakfast, and shopping with ease. The common spaces were decorated beautifully and we loved having a kitchen and dining space! The owner is super responsive and our stay was perfect! We can’t wait to stay again!

This is a Historic Gem located in the heart of the village of Homer! The VRBO is spacious, has a well equipped Kitchen and we loved the outdoor patio with firepit and grill. The furnishings were complementary to the era of the house and at the same time super comfortable. We will be back!!!

Wonderful Place!

The house was simply wonderful and perfect for our family group celebrating a graduation. The size, amenities, and overall bright and cheery feel of the place made the 40 minute drive worth it. We loved the two living rooms - the young kids hung out in one while the older folks settled in the other. Great, large dining table allowed us all to enjoy dinners as a group. Definitely hope to stay here again. Thank Karen!

Weekend getaway!

This house was absolutely beautiful, and the hosts could not have been more gracious. The pictures truly do not do this home justice. It was the perfect place for a quiet staycation. We had 6 adults and 4 children, there was more than enough space. We were sad to leave, and would highly recommend!

Amazing!!!

The home was absolutely beautifull ! It was actually nicer than the pictures. The home owner was amazing, she knew we were celebrating a birthday, so they made us a chocolate and peanut butter birthday cake as well as lemon blueberry scones for breakfast. They completely spoiled us. I rent VRBO often and this was the nicest, friendliest, cleanest home I've ever been too. We will definitely stay again!

Historic property in quaint neighborhood

Our large family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic property in lovely downtown Homer, NY. Plenty of bedrooms to spread out and yet come together in the common areas of this unique home. Close to area ski resorts and just down the street from quaint shops and eateries along Homer's Main Street.
