This was a great place to stay while we enjoyed three days in Homer. We enjoyed cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, and we appreciated the variety of bed choices because we were traveling with several singles.

Friends gathering for fun and fishing

We enjoyed the big backyard with the pups, the sunny porch and big dining table with our 8 friends from Colorado and Minnesota, Palmer and Anchorage! A larger cook pot could be nice for cooking for a big group but lots of other cooking supplies. We had great fishing and wonderful weather!!

The yard and deck are a great place to gather in the sun and enjoy bare feet, pretty flowers and blue skies over head. I'm so glad I can share this place with folks passing through.

Great stay with family

Really enjoyed this house for our family trip to Homer. We had 4 kids and 4 adults, and there was plenty of room for all. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the extra towels and that laundry was available. The yard was nice, the kids ran around and it was really close to town and the main highway. The house was clean and well stocked. Could have used 1 more frying pan, but other than that is was great! Thanks again!

Thank you so much. I'm happy you enjoyed your stay here. It was my plan to hang a curtain rod for the upstairs room with blackout curtains sooner, but since your stay, I have now done that. Thank you for your honest feed back. I strive to make it the best for my guests.
