Cozy cabin
Nothing but positive things to say about this cozy cabin. Generally well appointed/stocked however, if I might make a constructive suggestion, it would be to add a cutting board in the kitchen and a mirror of some sort in the new bedroom. A small fan would have been a bonus, as it was quite warm and without screens on most of the windows we were hesitant to open the windows for fresh air. These were the only things that would have improved the stay even more. Otherwise we loved the house!

Very nice
The property was very nice--very clean--plenty of room for our group of 3--could comfortably house more. Everything necessary was there and all appliances were modern and worked well. It came with all you would need--it was clear to me that the owner provided not only what we would need, but everything we might need or want.

Perfect
Loved the location. We could have walked to restaurants shopping or the grocery store. The backyard was so peaceful and loved to be able to grill. Never heard a neighbor besides the occasional chicken which was cute! The extra amenities like hand soap, dishsoap, toilet paper ect was so nice to have so we didn't spend a fortune on those things. I have recommended to friends and family already.

A Homer oasis right in town
Our stay was fantastic! The house is directly in town but on a side road so it’s not too busy. It’s one street away from Karen Hornaday Park which has a huge playground. Chantrelle recommended several great places to eat and all the local insight for beach combing and fishing. Her place looks like it’s brand new and the kids LOVED the back yard. The house had everything we needed and then some but Chantrelle was really easy to connect with in case you had any additional questions. We’ll be back for sure!
