What a GREAT Place to Stay!

Super clean, really well laid out and perfect situated to enjoy Homer by day and chill out in the quiet at night. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Homer! Probably the best VRBO I have stayed in yet, and I use VRBO a lot!

Nice and Simple

Very clean ,nice amenities, quiet , owners very friendly, pretty area . Could use alittle more small helps like shelving or cabinetry, wall hooks in bathrm to set clothes, personal items. A door between sink area and livrm for privacy and noise- At least a nice curtain! We enjoyed our stay, the view, and watching the sandhill cranes on the nicely landscaped lawn rt in front of our cabin! Thankyou!

BEST KEPT SECRET

Every time we travel to Homer, these are our go-to cabins. This stay was extra sweet, as both cabins just had a little lift, with fresh paint, new furniture, some new flooring, and a returning pair of sandhill cranes. The cabins are always immaculate, the bathrooms are well stocked, you could cook anything you want in the kitchen and not worry about utensils, and the property is perfectly manicured. This time around the discussion was about officially making this place our annual 4th of July tradition, with new grandchildren and best friends.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and well appointed. It is situated in a quiet location but is close to restaurants, downtown and the spit. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We will plan on staying here whenever we visit Homer!

Love Bear Canyon Cottages!

As always, we had a wonderful stay! We were in the Bird House for this visit, but both cabins are beautifully furnished, very clean, fully stocked for cooking and baking (we had most meals in the cabin), and located on a gorgeous property. The area is peaceful and quiet, with lovely songbirds keeping to keep you company. The check in/check out process could not be easier, and property management (Janet and Jaret) is super easy to work with and easy to contact. These cabins are always our first choice when traveling to Homer.

Super clean, well-equipped, quiet, with comfortable beds and responsive and generous hosts. Beautiful setting and only a few min. drive into Homer and out onto the spit for adventuring with Just Add Water Alaska. We had such a fun time in Homer and would definitely stay in the Bird House again!

Awesome place!

My wife and I enjoyed the property and the hospitality of the owners. They were welcoming and helpful if needed. The property was beautiful and had a great view outside if you wanted to sit in one of the adirondack chairs. We would love to come back again!
