Stunning Views

This place was everything I’d hoped it would be. Very comfortable for two couples and the views from the windows and balcony were incredible. I would definitely stay there again if we ever make it back to Homer which we also loved.

This spacious, well decorated home has amazing views and was so comfortable for two married couples. We saw two moose next to the yard. Twice we enjoyed dinner while gazing at the beautiful bay and mountains. We loved every minute of our stay! Host was wonderful!

Spacious house, wonderful views

Maggie Burns the owner was awesome. A group of four of us fishermen stayed five days, self-catered ,and enjoyed having the two and one-half bathrooms. Of course the views from the decks were magnificent.

The property was fantastic. Actually the photos on web did not do it justice. It was a beautiful home, nicely built. Three bedrooms and three baths. we'll rent it again in the future, for sure.

Perfect Family Home with Amazing Views!

The whole process of checking in and out as well as communication before and during the trip with Maggie was seemless! We would highly recommend this stay! We really enjoyed our morning coffee and evening wine from either outdoors on the deck or indoors from the dining room, livingroom, and master bedroom. We even saw 3 moose- 1 coming right into the yard! It was the perfect Alaskan Getaway! The location was ideal from Homer- super easy access to get into town, yet in the country with the more secluded feel.

Amazing place!

We loved our 5 night stay in this very private, large home. Great views, saw a moose and her calf in the neighbor's yard, comfortable beds and great kitchen (with sharp knives, a rarity for rentals!) Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Homer.

Heaven on earth

I can’t say enough good things about this property. The owners were awesome in assisting me with ANYTHING I needed. The accommodations are everything advertised and more. I really enjoyed being able to sit outside, at the fire pit, taking in all the beautiful surroundings. Lots of outside deck space also to enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Close to town, shopping and restaurants. The house is very spacious and has everything I needed. I will definitely be returning next year.
