It was a beautiful place just far enough out to enjoy the quiet, but close enough to run in and get things. Loved being in Homer and all the beautiful scenery. Thanks.
Roomy and comfortable. We were fishing all day every day, so didn’t spend much time at the house but it was comfortable and equipped for our group, and the laundry room was great
Place was older but updated pretty well. All the rooms had separate heating so we could all adjust the temp to our liking. Beautiful views out the back of the house. Overall, enjoyed the stay and would book again.
The house is amazing, and in the best spot you could possibly be if you have a few friends with you. The host was very nice and had 0 issues with anything. 10/10 recommend!
Huge house with lots of room for everyone. The view of the water is just stunning. The house itself is well-cared for with everything you could ask for. Plenty of toys for the kids which was a nice touch. There’s also an insane amount of movies to choose from (VHS tapes) to keep you occupied when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Just 10-12 minutes from the homer spit. Enjoyed our stay immensely!

So happy you and your family enjoyed our home. Please come back and stay again another time.
Wonderful location with beautiful view complete with visiting moose. Lots of beds for different family configurations and very kid friendly. We received an immediate response to a water and dishwasher issue. Only problem was no SHARP knives for that wonderful Homer farmers market bread. Great experience.
We had a great time at this house. Everything was clean and in working order. There was plenty of sheets, towels, etc. The view is awesome. The manager/owner responded to all of our questions promptly. The house is wheelchair accessible
Our family stayed here for two weeks for vacation. We had 16 people total. One of them was an infant. There was plenty of baby items to use which was nice. The only complaint we had was I would suggest putting blackout curtains in all the bedrooms and a different option for the bathroom door in the master bedroom. But it really was a perfect place for us and the views are beautiful! The manager was great at getting back to me with any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again.
The property is a little bit older but very cozy the view is incredible we enjoyed our stay

The view was amazing and this house was perfect for our famly of 8, here for our son's wedding.
The house was very clean and had supplies in case you needed them(body wash, bug spray, canned and boxed food left from other renters). The people who rented the week before left a chicken and rice dish, from their wedding, that had never been opened. So it was nice that we had a bite to eat as soon as we walked in the door. The living room is very large with windows to see the spectacular view (and Moose), a perfect place for my grandchildren to play. The family of moose graze behind the property and are fun to watch. The fire pit on the back deck was perfect for making s'mores with my grandkids. We used the grill on the deck as well. Not all of the burners on the stove worked but the owner has extra burners to use and they plan to replace the stove top. The water pressure in the shower was very good. It is a great area to go running. It was very close to the wedding venue which was at the Joslyn Peony Farm. We had a wonderful stay with our family. I plan to rent this house again, when we go back to Homer. The owner is very accommodating and kind.
