    Very nice cabin

    A friend and I stayed for 2 nights. The cabin is very well appointed, very clean, and the beds are so comfortable. I would recommend this for a trip to Homer, as long as you have a car. It is about 5 minutes outside Homer.

    Perfect place to stay in Homer!

    My husband and I have stayed in many places in Homer over the years, and this one was the best ever! We appreciate it the great communication from the host and horses, the very comfortable beds, the cleanliness of the cabin, the very well-supplied kitchen, the bathroom sink being separated from the shower and toilet room, the washer and dryer, and list goes on. We used both beds as well as the pullout sofa bed and all were very comfortable. We will definitely stay here when in Homer again. Perfect in every way.! Thank you, Jennifer and hubby!

    Very clean ,nice amenities, quiet , owners very friendly, pretty area . Could use alittle more small helps like shelving or cabinetry, wall hooks in bathrm to set clothes, personal items. A door between sink area and livrm for privacy and noise- At least a nice curtain! We enjoyed our stay, the view, and watching the sandhill cranes on the nicely landscaped lawn rt in front of our cabin! Thankyou!

    BEST KEPT SECRET

    Every time we travel to Homer, these are our go-to cabins. This stay was extra sweet, as both cabins just had a little lift, with fresh paint, new furniture, some new flooring, and a returning pair of sandhill cranes. The cabins are always immaculate, the bathrooms are well stocked, you could cook anything you want in the kitchen and not worry about utensils, and the property is perfectly manicured. This time around the discussion was about officially making this place our annual 4th of July tradition, with new grandchildren and best friends.
