This cabin is new and very well maintained. You will want to remove your shoes prior to entry and they ask that you don't clean your fish on site. That said, it was perfect for my family, with all of the conveniences of home. We loved every minute and would highly recommend Bear Canyon Cottages.

Great Family Getaway!

I stayed here with my family of 5 and we had a great time. The place is new, clean, and has everything you need. The front yard is a large mowed field where we enjoyed playing frisbee and the kids enjoyed running around. The house is close to everything in Homer and also has a gorgeous view. Communication and check-in/out was easy. I hope to stay here again and would recommend this VRBO highly. Thanks!
