    Lauran and her home are truly amazing! She’s very responsive to messages and she cares about her guests and their experience! The views are spectacular from inside and outside the home! We saw a bald eagle and Mt. Redoubt from the deck. Mosquitos were non existent as we were able to enjoy bbq’ing, socializing, and a nice fire in the back yard. Be sure to bring firewood! Lauran has a lot covered: matches, binoculars, bear spray, even a Bluetooth speaker! I’d definitely rent Lauran’s place again! Her home is located 10-15 min from Homer and is in a nice neighborhood. I always felt safe!

    We really enjoyed our stay in this cute house. Easy check in, very clean, comfy beds and an incredible view of the inlet and surrounding mountsins. Quiet location with a beautiful yard and loved spending time on the deck enjoying the gorgeous sunsets.

    The view is spectacular - absolutely beautiful. All king beds and were very comfortable; the view from two of the upstairs bedrooms is equally great. Very clean, well appointed, and a convenient location to Homer. We had a comfortable 2-night stay and recommend this property.

    Lookout is a nice cozy 2 level home. It has all the amenities you need to relax while in Homer Alaska area. The view is great, with the exception of windows needing cleaned and perhaps a sir the seals leak to get a clear view …the sun peeping in keeps the cabin warm n cozy. If you like storms this home is for you…the view of the various mountains and bay is beautiful. Moose like to roam the yard and if the weather permits you can have a fire outside in the lovely pit area. The host is very easy to reach and stay in contact with before and during your stay. Like any home that’s notes you can find things that may be a negative, but really this home satisfies our needs and was a delight to find and have the opportunity to stay in. The host has a cooler, boots, bbq and other amenities if you go fishing or out about to use. We would reserve this home agin if the need arises to be in Homer again. Thank you!

    The place was easy to find. Communication with the host was awesome. Location was perfect from being close to Homer and a great view of the water. We have no complaints about this stay.

    A little mix up on the address and ended up in the wrong house but that was quickly resolved. Lauren is an amazing host. We had issues with the water our first day and lauren was on it right away, she even provided a case and 6 gallons of drinking water. The property had amazing veiws. The only bad was the dining room window, the 10 pm sun shines right in your face while sitting on the couch, even with the pull down tinted shade. We will definitely rent this property again when we are ready to visit the Homer area again
