The kitchen was very functional with basic spices and olive oil. Cookware is good quality as were dishes and silverware. The beds were comfortable and clean. Washer and dryer worked very well. This was a great place for our family of two parent and three adult children. It was clean, easy to find, quiet, and gave us a chance to rest and cook our own food in between Homer adventures. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendell 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Secluded property set in the woods next to a creek.
