Outstanding Property and Location.

5/5

Check in instructions were clear and easy to follow.Property is well maintained and well equipped. Beds were clean an comfortable with plenty of spare bedding. Plenty of towels. Wi-Fi was fast enough to meet our needs and was reliable. Zero issues with it. Same with the TV service.Property is located right on Fritz Creek and is beautiful. It is only eight miles from town and in a quiet rural neighborhood.We were there five days and saw moose on the property twice. We saw a total of 37 while driving between the property and town. Anyone seeking them should drive the road to town early in the morning/late in the evening. The large open fields along the way are moose magnets.We had one maintenance issue come up. Contact with the property contact was easy. He was responsive and had a repairman out to correct it same day. Great service all the way around. If anyone in your party has mobility issues (one in our party uses a cane and has balance issues), the other ground floor unit (Moose Meadow) would be a better choice than Creekside. We loved Creekside but it is a taller than standard step up to the deck and there are no handrails to assist. Moose Meadow is an easier step up and there is a corner wall that will help with support.Our only negative, and it was small and should be easy to correct: The three frying pans in the unit are in need of replacement as the teflon is peeling/chipping.

An OK Stay

3/5

We would stay here again but on the upper floor. We did not know there were two floors. The first night 9 people and a camper stayed there, noisey! The next night, two adults, 3 children and a dog.

5/5

Easily one of the best equipped properties we have stayed at. Plenty of linens, bathroom supplies, dishes, fresh coffee...etc. Fantastic location. We had 3 of the properties over a long weekend and never ran out of anything. We will schedule our next trip around these properties availability. Thanks!

5/5

Everything was exactly as described. Very comfortable beds, stocked kitchen and the grounds were beautiful. So beautiful, it could be a venue or a place for photography, which we did have photos taken of our pregnant daughter on the bridge and in the creek. They turned out stunning. Highly reccomended.

Rented both units

4/5

We enjoyed our stay here and having a large group of 9 it was nice to be all in the same place.... the big field and nearby creek was a delight for our younger visitors. We were a little unhappy with the sofa sleepers as they were not comfortable for the 2 adults who needed to sleep on it It may be time for an upgrade of the mattresses. All in all it was nice place to stay not right in the mist of the busy 4th of July in Homer.
