Absolutely adorable, exceptionally clean, and so comfortable! The hosts were incredibly welcoming, and we loved meeting their sweet fur babies. The photos don’t do this place justice—it completely exceeded our expectations. We were blown away by how beautiful and thoughtfully maintained everything was. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay.

The cottage we had was excellent, clean, comfy and overall just plain SUPER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR AN AWESOME STAY. The owner created us upon arrival as he was mowing the beautiful grounds. It was so enjoyable to sit on the porch and enjoy the scenery. THANK YOU.

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!
