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!

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.
