We loved this dog friendly property! The whole house was stocked with anything you could need. And the kitchen had coffee, creamer and sugar which always feels welcoming. Turning this into a yearly family get away for sure!

Wonderful!

Easily one of the best equipped properties we have stayed at. Plenty of linens, bathroom supplies, dishes, fresh coffee...etc. Fantastic location. We had 3 of the properties over a long weekend and never ran out of anything. We will schedule our next trip around these properties availability. Thanks!

An OK Stay

We would stay here again but on the upper floor. We did not know there were two floors. The first night 9 people and a camper stayed there, noisey! The next night, two adults, 3 children and a dog.

Hi Steven, we appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you would consider staying with us again. After sharing your comments with the homeowner, they'd like to address your concerns:-We apologize for any noise disturbance you experienced during your stay. We do state in the listing that this is a lower-level unit, but we will ensure this information is more prominently displayed to avoid any confusion.-Unfortunately, we cannot control the behavior of other guests, but we do expect everyone to be considerate. We will reinforce this expectation with all future guests to help ensure a more peaceful environment for everyone.Thank you for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to host you on the upper floor for an enjoyable stay in the future!

Check-in was a breeze. Residence was clean and well equipped and the equipment all worked as it should. What is more, all the necessary supplies were there. Coffee for the coffee maker, detergent for the dishwasher, detergent and fabric softener for the laundry were all good quality and in sufficient quantities for the stay. Only thing that could have been better on that front would have been extra bags for the small trash cans in the bedroom.We did not try the twin beds but the bed in the master suite was comfortable and there were plenty of spare pillows and blankets.Location on Fritz Creek is beautiful and the Creekside unit really is creekside.It is our favorite of the four units on the property.Only one caution for future renters. It is the lower half of a duplex with the Aurora View unit above it. If you are picky about noise, you may want to rent an upper unit. We've stayed in Creekside twice and it has been fine but we did hear the occasional steps, roller luggage being moved, etc coming from overhead.Anyone with a large group might find renting both to be an ideal answer for how to house a large group traveling together.We do travel with a pet and have had no trouble at all staying here with her. Just be sure that you bring everything you need. While they do welcome pets, they do not provide anything for them.This unit has become our go to spot when visiting Homer.

Outstanding Property and Location.

Check in instructions were clear and easy to follow.Property is well maintained and well equipped. Beds were clean an comfortable with plenty of spare bedding. Plenty of towels. Wi-Fi was fast enough to meet our needs and was reliable. Zero issues with it. Same with the TV service.Property is located right on Fritz Creek and is beautiful. It is only eight miles from town and in a quiet rural neighborhood.We were there five days and saw moose on the property twice. We saw a total of 37 while driving between the property and town. Anyone seeking them should drive the road to town early in the morning/late in the evening. The large open fields along the way are moose magnets.We had one maintenance issue come up. Contact with the property contact was easy. He was responsive and had a repairman out to correct it same day. Great service all the way around. If anyone in your party has mobility issues (one in our party uses a cane and has balance issues), the other ground floor unit (Moose Meadow) would be a better choice than Creekside. We loved Creekside but it is a taller than standard step up to the deck and there are no handrails to assist. Moose Meadow is an easier step up and there is a corner wall that will help with support.Our only negative, and it was small and should be easy to correct: The three frying pans in the unit are in need of replacement as the teflon is peeling/chipping.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the location was absolutely beautiful. The setting was peaceful with great views, and it was a great place to explore the Homer area.Unfortunately, there were a few things that kept the stay from being a five-star experience. The cabin wasn't as clean as we expected upon arrival, with quite a bit of dog hair throughout. There's also an upstairs apartment, and noise from other guests carried easily, which made it difficult to fully relax. A few of the doorknobs were broken, and the heat couldn't be adjusted because the thermostat controls had been taped off by the owner, leaving us without a way to warm the cabin when needed.With a little more attention to cleanliness and maintenance, this could be an excellent place to stay because the location really is hard to beat.

Property is clean and well maintained inside and out. Check-in was smooth and easy. Contact with the local manager for the property was simple when I asked about a late check-out. Everything was in working order and the only thing you will need to bring is food. Full, well equipped kitchen with basic amenities, washer and dryer with supplies. Internet and TV worked well.This unit is our preference for our stays in Homer. We've stayed there three times, twice in summer and once in winter. It is out of the way, in a quiet neighborhood and right on the creek. We have had moose wander though several times and this visit I did quite a bit of bird photography on the property. If you are fussy about noise, rent one of the upstairs units. We could hear people overhead but it did not bother us. We prefer the downstairs because of my wife's mobility issues.Only thing that I would suggest for improvement is replacing the skillets. If you are fussy about flaking Teflon they will bother you. Other than that it was yet another perfect stay.

Rented both units

We enjoyed our stay here and having a large group of 9 it was nice to be all in the same place.... the big field and nearby creek was a delight for our younger visitors. We were a little unhappy with the sofa sleepers as they were not comfortable for the 2 adults who needed to sleep on it It may be time for an upgrade of the mattresses. All in all it was nice place to stay not right in the mist of the busy 4th of July in Homer.

Great place but SO loud

We had the upper unit in one house and the lower in another. After asking they were unable to accommodate us all in one, I received a generic answer. Beautiful location with a stream running through the property. Close to town but secluded. Things were in good working order, plenty of towels, pillows,etc. It was so loud everyday in the lower unit. Sounded like they were pulling out the kitchen cabinets and doing a remodel. Otherwise was a perfect place to stay.

Fritz Creek a magical place

Traveled to Homer several times, usually alone and stay on the spit. This time I brought family who wouldn’t have appreciated it as much. Found this little gem and we all had a grand stay! Highly recommend for all ages- thank you 😊

Fritz Creek Retreat is an absolute gem!

The property was immaculate and so comfortable for my little family of 4. We appreciated the amenities offered such as fully stocked kitchenette and proximity to town yet secluded. Will definitely recommend to friends and stay in the future.

No sound proof barrier between up stairs and down.

We loved the apartment is was nicely set up and we were thrilled with the cleanliness. However, there is no sound barriers between first & second floor. A couple with four kids stayed in top floor. Every movement of chairs, walking, jumping made it sound like they were coming through the ceiling. Some sounds were so loud it rattled the dishes in our cupboard.

Monsters upstairs

The property was great! The scheduling of 3 families with 6 Adults, 6 children , & 2 dogs in the upstairs apartment was horrible. They were up un till 3am stomping, screaming, playing, & banging the 1st night. They did the same until midnight their 2and night.
