What a view!

The garden apartment had everything you needed from toiletries to coffee and tea. Bed and pillows were very comfy and two full baths so could easily accommodate two couples using the pullout couch. Bonus apartment comes with washer/dryer.

We enjoyed the stay very much. Clean and thoughtful amenities. Not far from grocery store, restaurants, and shops. Had a small issue with t.v., but the hosts were quick and courteous to fix it. We appreciated having a place that offered so much information about Homer.

My sister and I had the pleasure of staying here while visiting Homer, AK. The place was impeccably clean and felt like a cozy little home, complete with everything we needed. Waking up to the beautiful garden views with trees and mountains in the distance was truly amazing. We felt very well taken care of, with all the essential products provided for a comfortable stay.

Visiting family

Absolutely wonderful!! The view from the front yard was breathtaking. I sat outside so much and just took in the beauty of the views and flowers. The home was exceptionally clean and was just perfect for us. Quiet and peaceful but also like 2 min away from town. It was really hard to leave. It was fun to see A momma moose and her baby And later in the week we saw a family of Sandhill cranes … all right outside our window. We met the owners and they were such a lovely couple. We will def book with them again when we return

Lovely Garden Apartment with Gorgeous Views

The apartment is spacious and comfortable! It is very well equipped to make some nice meals in. We appreciated the coffee beans and variety of tea! We appreciated being able to do laundry during our trip. The views were beautiful and we were able to see wild life right out the window.

Great property—very clean. I have stayed at the other property on the grounds owned by the same owner—it was also incredibly clean. Beds were comfortable—kitchen had everything you needed. Views were awesome—we even had a mother moose and her babies visiting in the yard. Had some changes to our stay and the owners were very accommodating and kind. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely time at this garden retreat. The grounds are private and so pretty with flowers and birds. We even had a fly over very close by the Sand hill cranes as we were leaving.
