Enjoyed our stay. ##### Karen Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey Jul 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Excellent bottom floor retreat. 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendell Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Secluded property set in the woods next to a creek. It was nicely furnished, spacious enough for 4 people, and well equipped with a fully functional kitchen with decent appliances and all the necessary tools for making large sumptious meals for our group. We also enjoyed having a large washer and dryer for a couple of days in the middle of our vacation. ##### Wendell Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### David Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Communication Here is a copy of my communication with the contact person ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodney Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness ##### Rodney Stayed 13 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Philadelphia](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aPHL-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Castles Carroll](https://www.expedia.ca/Carroll-Castles.d6351925-aaCastles.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Eagan](https://www.expedia.ca/Eagan-Hotels.d7092.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [National Park Stay: Comfortable cabin in Alaska's wilds, lakes, hikes.
