Property is clean and well maintained inside and out. Check-in was smooth and easy. Contact with the local manager for the property was simple when I asked about a late check-out. Everything was in working order and the only thing you will need to bring is food. Full, well equipped kitchen with basic amenities, washer and dryer with supplies. Internet and TV worked well.This unit is our preference for our stays in Homer. We've stayed there three times, twice in summer and once in winter. It is out of the way, in a quiet neighborhood and right on the creek. We have had moose wander though several times and this visit I did quite a bit of bird photography on the property. If you are fussy about noise, rent one of the upstairs units. We could hear people overhead but it did not bother us. We prefer the downstairs because of my wife's mobility issues.Only thing that I would suggest for improvement is replacing the skillets. If you are fussy about flaking Teflon they will bother you. Other than that it was yet another perfect stay.

Good for what was needed

Check-in was a breeze. Residence was clean and well equipped and the equipment all worked as it should. What is more, all the necessary supplies were there. Coffee for the coffee maker, detergent for the dishwasher, detergent and fabric softener for the laundry were all good quality and in sufficient quantities for the stay. Only thing that could have been better on that front would have been extra bags for the small trash cans in the bedroom.We did not try the twin beds but the bed in the master suite was comfortable and there were plenty of spare pillows and blankets.Location on Fritz Creek is beautiful and the Creekside unit really is creekside.It is our favorite of the four units on the property.Only one caution for future renters. It is the lower half of a duplex with the Aurora View unit above it. If you are picky about noise, you may want to rent an upper unit. We've stayed in Creekside twice and it has been fine but we did hear the occasional steps, roller luggage being moved, etc coming from overhead.Anyone with a large group might find renting both to be an ideal answer for how to house a large group traveling together.We do travel with a pet and have had no trouble at all staying here with her. Just be sure that you bring everything you need. While they do welcome pets, they do not provide anything for them.This unit has become our go to spot when visiting Homer.

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.
