Very comfortable cabin. The location offers fantastic views of Homer and is close to everything. The place worked great for what we needed (a place to stay to enjoy the fishing in Homer). Would stay here again.
We spent 2 nights here for our anniversary and had an excellent stay. The cabin was just as described and has AMAZING views! We lucked out with great weather. It was a super quick and easy drive to everywhere in Homer. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area.
We had an amazing time staying at the Melody Rose cabin. We did not see any wildlife while we were there, but still enjoyed the views and the piece and quiet.
We really loved our stay in this cozy cabin. It had some of the most beautiful views of the Homer Spit, Kachemak Bay, and even the glaciers. It had everything we needed for a lovely long weekend in Homer. The cabin was just minutes from downtown, but far enough up the mountain for a quiet and laid back atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again.
Amazing views from deck and living room! Super quiet and peaceful. Cozy and comfortable for 2 people. Kitchen has everything you need. Be organized so you don't have to climb the 55 stairs too many times - but what a view when you're up there!

Cute cabin with full kitchen. Unbelievable sweeping views! Cabin is cozy and comfortable. Listing correct with stairs an issue for some. Good location in Homer - just a short drive to shops and restaurants. Owners very responsive.

Why they chose this property
Melody Rose cabin is a special place. As world travelers, we have stayed in many short term rentals, and always felt that the best ones were the ones that were private and in their own world. The view from the cabin is the best we have seen in all of Homer! We filled the cabin with amenities (upgraded kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer) so that you can stay perched on the mountain side for as long as you want, watching the tides go in and out :). Since the cabin is only 10 minutes away from all of Homer, you're also ready to launch into adventure at a moment's notice! We truly feel its the best of both worlds.
