Beautiful cabin and perfect place to stay

We have stayed in many places in Homer over the years and this tops them all! Everything was perfect! From the communication with the host/hostess to the cleanliness of the cabins to the comfort of the bed, we cannot think of one thing we would improve. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Homer! Loved it!

Homer Haven

This beautiful and clean cabin was a perfect base camp for our 3 day visit to Homer. It has huge picture windows with views of the bay and a large lawn. Was perfect for 2 couples and would be great for families too. Lots of space for kids to run around.

Pleasantly surprised on excellent condition of cabin

We found this place amazing, clean, spacious and friendly owners. For 4 adults, we had plenty of space in the rooms, kitchen and living areas. Sitting on the patio facing wide open yard was delightful. Price was much more reasonable then the local hotel rooms too. I would recommend 100%.

Perfect place to stay while in Homer

My husband, 19-year-old nephew, and I loved staying here! It's clean, comfortable, and cute. An oasis 10 minutes away from the touristy hustle of the Spit. Shortly after checking in, we were greeted by an adult moose that ran through the yard, past the picture window! The host was easily reachable and quickly responsive. She even loaned us fishing poles! We highly recommend this property.
