AMAZING RENTAL!!

We rent frequently on Vrbo so are well versed in dealing with property owners, how true to life the pictures are, etc... It all adds up in quality of life, especially when you rent frequently and for months at a time. Jen was absolutely great to deal with, communicated honestly, quickly and efficiently! She was able to work out any kinks in our quickly changing work situation, the property has an amazing view and beautiful grounds, all details were attended to ~ truly stress free! We're going to be booking them for fishing charters next year when we get some time off! Thanks Jen for making our lives easier and being authentic in your advertising!!

Very nice cabin

A friend and I stayed for 2 nights. The cabin is very well appointed, very clean, and the beds are so comfortable. I would recommend this for a trip to Homer, as long as you have a car. It is about 5 minutes outside Homer.

Perfect place to stay in Homer!

My husband and I have stayed in many places in Homer over the years, and this one was the best ever! We appreciate it the great communication from the host and horses, the very comfortable beds, the cleanliness of the cabin, the very well-supplied kitchen, the bathroom sink being separated from the shower and toilet room, the washer and dryer, and list goes on. We used both beds as well as the pullout sofa bed and all were very comfortable. We will definitely stay here when in Homer again. Perfect in every way.! Thank you, Jennifer and hubby!
