    The host was great at communicating with us. The covered deck and fire pit was a nice addition. It was a bit awkward when the other guests arrived and the deck is right off their window. It was not clear to us in the listing that we were attached to the other cabin but could have been a misunderstanding on our end. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed seeing the moose and babies in the yard.

    Comfortably furnished second floor apartment that needed some TLC. Several lights needed bulbs or maintenance and the shower head was held on with rubber band's. The floor hadn't been well cleaned. All this is easily fixed and the chairs and beds were comfy. It's a beautiful location with a friendly dog next door.

    Owner has two agressive dogs who are allowed off leash. One dog charged my leashed dog upon arrival (I had to lift my dog by the collar to get him out of range). Owner apologized saying she had thought dog was contained in her porch and it wouldn’t happen again. Loading the car the next morning, this dog and another one ran at me and my dog again, second dog jumped on me scratching my shin and planting his front paws between my shoulder blades as I again had to lift my 6# dog out of range. Owner ran out, apologized, said this was unacceptable and she’d remove the dogs for the weekend. At bedtime that night, I got a message that they’d been unable to remove their dogs from the property and planned to let them out if my dog wasn’t out. This property has NO business being advertised as pet-friendly. Their dogs are aggressive to other dogs (all of their behavior was directed at my small, leashed dog, they ignored my 3 yo grandchild) and after it had happened TWICE in 24 hours, they still did not plan to keep their dogs confined.I’ve rented dozens of times in multiple countries and have never written a negative review before. General facilities were fine. Cleaning was B- at best: used tissues under a recliner in living room and dust bunnies under a bed (3 yo crawled under). Only dishwashing implement was a very used sponge so we washed with paper towels. Also be aware of drain cleaner and bear spray in low, open cupboards if you have kids.

    Gorgeous setting! We had a baby moose and a mama moose come right through the yard one night! The owner’s dogs were really sweet too.

    Perfection in paradise does not begin to describe this beautiful home in this gorgeous location. Minutes from the Homer Spit yet secluded in the mountains overlooking the gorgeous scenery of the Homer Spit with the mountain backdrop. We stayed in the Otters Den and Lazy Moose. Super clean and comfortable with anything you could need. Beautiful outdoor deck with grill offered excellent space for our group to relax. The washer dryer was great with easy access in a room between two units. Great kitchen with all supplies available. Great parking. Excellent hosts with easy communication. Five stars all the way around. Thanks for sharing your perfect place in paradise with us! We loved it!

    My family (which includes two dogs) loved staying here. The unit was clean and inviting, and we had everything we needed to get settled in. A nice bonus that isn't pictured is that they have a Keurig for coffee. They also have a new partially covered deck that is for the upstairs unit, and the deck in the picture is for the downstairs unit. Some previous reviews mention the stairs being steep. From what I could tell, they fixed that issue with the addition of the new deck and staircase. It was no steeper than a standard staircase. The yard was expansive, and our dogs loved playing in it. The hosts were very friendly, responsive, and welcoming. I absolutely recommend this unit for a family getaway in Homer.

    Great place to stay, be aware there are very steep steps in/out as it is on the second floor. Not suitable for someone who has any mobility or balance issues. The view isgreat
