Great stay!

This was a great house for our group. We all got our own bedroom space and had a nice place to hang out together. It was a beautiful home outside of Homer. We even had 3 moose in our yard sleeping one night!

Family of 5 Adults

We were a group of 5 adult family members who stayed for a week. The house was spacious with plenty of comfortable seating and in a quiet secluded area about 20 minutes outside of town. The kitchen had everything we needed. The ping pong and foosball tables were an added bonus. We would stay here again!

Memorable trip to Homer

This was our first time visiting Homer, and we took advantage of every minute! This house was perfect base camp. We had a group of 8 in our party and the house was just what we needed. It was nice to have a place that had some supplies and dried food goods waiting for us- that was a good surprise. And to end the week, we had moose and even a black bear come through the back yard. Would highly recommend this house!

Awesome property

The house was clean and very well stocked. It’s located in a great location just out of Homer where we got the pleasure of seeing a mother moose and her calf. Overall I would tell anyone who is visiting the Homer area that they would make a great choice renting this property.

Perfect house for our family vacation

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Powell’s Hideaway in Homer. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Homer. We were lucky enough to have a moose visit in the yard!

Fritz Creek

There was plenty of room for the grandkids to run around. One evening a mother moose and her very young calf came running out of the trees ran across the yard and went back into the trees on the other side of the yard while we were sitting on the back porch. The grandkids talked about them for two days.

A group of us from around Anchorage got together for a friends wedding in Homer. I've stayed here before and enjoyed the house. It's a great place to stay and has all the necessary amenities. I recommend staying here for any vacation time in beautiful Homer. Thanks for letting us stay and we'll definitely be back in the future.

We were a group of 8 traveling from Minnesota and this place did not disappoint. Matt and Nicole, the owners were fantastic in every aspect you can imagine. Communication was top notch. The amenities were endless. Everything was beautiful, from the layout of the house to the patio outside. I would recommend this house to anyone traveling to Homer. It’s a 5 star all the way.

Short stay

Nice property. Comfortable. On demand hot water was a little slow but good when it got to open faucet. Would have been nice to have a few more back deck chairs to enjoy the evening on. A step down to the yard would have been nice as well. No fire pit???
