We had such a lovely stay in Homer. There were 4 adults and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The cabin was very clean, though somewhat minimal, which we appreciated as it gave us plenty of room to move around. Would definitely come back here and highly recommend this place!

Gorgeous views

A lovely cabin with incredible views and everything you could need. Great market nearby, just 5 minutes to town. Serene spot. We saw a mamma moose and baby walking across the lawn out front. The owners were friendly and even let me pick some rhubarb to make a crisp! We'd stay here every time we visit Homer.

Beautiful cabin and perfect place to stay

We have stayed in many places in Homer over the years and this tops them all! Everything was perfect! From the communication with the host/hostess to the cleanliness of the cabins to the comfort of the bed, we cannot think of one thing we would improve. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Homer! Loved it!

This beautiful and clean cabin was a perfect base camp for our 3 day visit to Homer. It has huge picture windows with views of the bay and a large lawn. Was perfect for 2 couples and would be great for families too. Lots of space for kids to run around.

Pleasantly surprised on excellent condition of cabin

We found this place amazing, clean, spacious and friendly owners. For 4 adults, we had plenty of space in the rooms, kitchen and living areas. Sitting on the patio facing wide open yard was delightful. Price was much more reasonable then the local hotel rooms too. I would recommend 100%.
