Cozy & Beautiful

A well-appointed cabin/home with everything we needed for our one month stay. Leah was a wonderful host and quickly responded to our questions. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by green - trees, lawn and a beautiful deck. The kitchen has all the basics and then some. The laundry facilities are great and the bedrooms suited us very well. Homer is such a gorgeous natural setting for adventures. We couldn’t be happier with our visit.
