Wonderful place.

Minor flaws still make it an 11/10. The view is to die for. The location is very close to downtown Homer. Downside it is on the main highway but as everything's facing the other way it doesnt really matter. The cabin is beautiful. We very much maxed it out with 6 people, as far as cutlery and bathroom size go. All is nevertheless functional. We had a great time. Evelyn was super helpful in communication and flexible.

Great location with amazing views!

The Dovetail Cabin was so great! Amazing views from just about anywhere in the cabin and definitely from the deck! We had binoculars and a spotting scope and watched whales from the deck. The cabin had what we needed for our stay to make it convenient and comfortable for me, my spouse, and our two college age children, and allowed space to hang out together but also have our own space. The location was perfect for us, still near everything but not right in the middle of it. The communication with the host was quick and easy, as was the check-in process. I have nothing but good things to say about this cabin! If we ever make it back to Homer we will for sure want to stay here again. Thank you!

What a view!

Our family had a wonderful time staying in this well appointed and rustic cabin. The views across the bay are outstanding. There is a separate entrance for the kids' bedroom. Also be sure to try out the hot tub in the greenhouse down the hill. Be sure to bring an eye mask for sleeping in the summer months, as the loft does not have full blackout curtains.

Great view! Beautiful grounds. Very well equipped kitchen and lots of nice towels and bedding. Photos and descriptions are accurate. We had plenty of room for four adults and two children for two nights. Only drawback was the way the keys worked with the bunk room—a little inconvenient.
