Homer Haven

This beautiful and clean cabin was a perfect base camp for our 3 day visit to Homer. It has huge picture windows with views of the bay and a large lawn. Was perfect for 2 couples and would be great for families too. Lots of space for kids to run around.

Pleasantly surprised on excellent condition of cabin

We found this place amazing, clean, spacious and friendly owners. For 4 adults, we had plenty of space in the rooms, kitchen and living areas. Sitting on the patio facing wide open yard was delightful. Price was much more reasonable then the local hotel rooms too. I would recommend 100%.

Perfect place to stay while in Homer

My husband, 19-year-old nephew, and I loved staying here! It's clean, comfortable, and cute. An oasis 10 minutes away from the touristy hustle of the Spit. Shortly after checking in, we were greeted by an adult moose that ran through the yard, past the picture window! The host was easily reachable and quickly responsive. She even loaned us fishing poles! We highly recommend this property.

It is a great place to stay.

The place is nice, clean, and comfortable. The host is super friendly and accommodating. If you like fishing, please contact the host for ‘just add water’ fishing expedition. We would return to this location for sure.
