Wonderful place.

Minor flaws still make it an 11/10. The view is to die for. The location is very close to downtown Homer. Downside it is on the main highway but as everything's facing the other way it doesnt really matter. The cabin is beautiful. We very much maxed it out with 6 people, as far as cutlery and bathroom size go. All is nevertheless functional. We had a great time. Evelyn was super helpful in communication and flexible.

Great location with amazing views!

The Dovetail Cabin was so great! Amazing views from just about anywhere in the cabin and definitely from the deck! We had binoculars and a spotting scope and watched whales from the deck. The cabin had what we needed for our stay to make it convenient and comfortable for me, my spouse, and our two college age children, and allowed space to hang out together but also have our own space. The location was perfect for us, still near everything but not right in the middle of it. The communication with the host was quick and easy, as was the check-in process. I have nothing but good things to say about this cabin! If we ever make it back to Homer we will for sure want to stay here again. Thank you!

What a view!

Our family had a wonderful time staying in this well appointed and rustic cabin. The views across the bay are outstanding. There is a separate entrance for the kids' bedroom. Also be sure to try out the hot tub in the greenhouse down the hill. Be sure to bring an eye mask for sleeping in the summer months, as the loft does not have full blackout curtains.

Perfect!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The Dovetail cabin was by far the best place to stay in Homer! From the most comfortable bed I have ever laid on, to the most breathtaking scenery that you can imagine. This cabin had it all, and the host was wonderful too! We will definitely be returning!

Great spot with a beautiful view!

Our family of 5 adults enjoyed 3 nights in this adorable cabin near Homer. Very convenient to everything Homer has to offer, we fished and hiked and loved every moment. The cabin was clean, well-stocked and met all of our needs. Thanks for a great stay!

Charming cabin

Great view! Beautiful grounds. Very well equipped kitchen and lots of nice towels and bedding. Photos and descriptions are accurate. We had plenty of room for four adults and two children for two nights. Only drawback was the way the keys worked with the bunk room—a little inconvenient.

Great location and kitchen amenities.

Very easy to book and communication was great about the travel itinerary. Easy to find and great location for Homer access. Kitchen and cooking were awesome, including the use of an awesome barbecue. View splendid. We don't feel sleeping info accurate. We feel it sleeps more like 4 comfortably. But overall we had an awesome time.

A whale of place!

We spent every evening sitting on the deck or at the dining room table watching whales feed and sea otters float around. This place was perfect for our family. Appliances worked great, space was comfortable, and it was extremely easy to access and find. Highly recommend for people visiting Homer!
