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. Definitely will be back!

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

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. This place is super clean with a comfy bed. The two bathrooms were nice too. It had everything we needed. Thank you

Great place to stay in Homer
This VRBO is a great place to stay in Homer. It sits on a hill just out of the town proper so you have a beautiful view of the mountains. It is roomy and very comfortable. We stayed for a week and it was a great home base. We had everything we needed including a washer and dryer which was nice. The gardens are beautifully maintained and there was a pair of resident Sandhill Cranes that visited the yard most days, one of which did a courtship dance right in front of me which I was able to video with my iPhone. Being a bird photographer, this was quite a treat! Very happy with our choice and highly recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Homer and the accommodations were perfect and centrally located. It was clean, neat, and had every thing we needed to be comfortable.
