Willy and Marcee's place is a labor or love and deserves much more than 5 stars! They are very kind hosts--you feel like old friends the second you meet them. The location was so beautiful and peaceful. We LOVED the sauna and enjoyed kayaking and watching the wildlife both inside and outside of the water (Bear, bald eagles, sea otters, jellyfish, etc). We were amazed by the workmanship and many special details. We loved sitting on the deck soaking in the view--heavenly!
It is a very one-of-a-kind opportunity to stay here, and the views alone outweigh any cons by far, but for the price, there are some things that could be improved upon. I only mention it because with how remote it is, there is no going to the store to grab something or contacting the host for needed things (except for an emergency of course).
The cabin could be better stocked in the essentials, though there was plenty of TP. (hand soap, paper towels, garbage sacks, dishsoap, charcoal for grill--we were low or out on these things). There was only one towel per person and only one blanket per bed which we made due ok, but it was pretty slim pickin's. (We definitely could have used some extra throw blankets.)
Also, the beds are very uncomfortable--you can feel the springs through the mattress, and the sheets are scratchy. Only one or two of the beds have box springs, so memory foam or something like that would have helped make for a better night's rest. The cabin is clean but the sheets gave me allergies--not sure if they are stored somewhere where they collect dust???
Also be prepared to bring your own entertainment--one of the days of our stay it poured rain the entire day, and there was not much to do in the cabin. There are a couple of games provided (clue and backgammon), but a few more games/novels would have helped make a rainy day a 5 star experience too.
Be aware that the boat ride from Homer to the cabin is uncovered and exposed to the elements. We were lucky that it wasn't raining coming or going, but it was still a pretty cold boat ride for June. Be prepared and dress warmly for the ride.
I don't want this to sound like a negative review, because we all REALLY loved our time spent at the cabin, and both Willy and Marcee were awesome to work with, but I would have wished for a better night's sleep.
