Family-Friendly Historic Home with Private Sauna and Spacious Yard

This historic home in the heart of Homer is the perfect spot for families looking to spend quality time together. With its blend of 19th-century charm and modern comforts, it offers everything needed for a memorable family vacation.

Step into the cozy living room where you can relax and enjoy some downtime, or gather around the formal dining table to share meals and stories.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances you need to make cooking together easy and fun—whether it's a big family dinner or a quick breakfast before heading out for the day.

Upstairs, you'll find bedrooms designed with families in mind, including a playful room just for kids.

The children's room features fun decorations and soft, comfortable bedding, making it an ideal space for them to sleep, play, and let their imaginations run wild.
The main bedroom upstairs offers a peaceful retreat for parents, with charming vintage furniture and cozy linens.

On the first floor, there is a bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom right next to it, which is great for family members who prefer not to use stairs.

Outside, the fenced yard is a wonderful spot for everyone to enjoy. Kids can play safely, and pets can run around freely while the grown-ups relax.

There is also a beautiful garden area with seasonal flowers and plenty of greenery, creating a lovely setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation. For those moments when you need to unwind, the electric sauna is the perfect escape.

Picture yourself relaxing in the sauna after a day of exploring, then stepping out to enjoy the fresh air on the patio. The patio has lots of seating and a dining area, making it a great place for family barbecues or just sitting together under the stars.

The location of this home makes it easy to explore everything Homer has to offer. It’s just minutes from Homer’s Center for the Arts, where you can experience local culture through events, galleries, and live shows.

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, so you can enjoy a restful stay while still being close to the action.

The house itself is full of vintage charm, with narrow staircases and creaky floors that are part of its unique character. These features are what make this historic home special, but they might not be ideal for everyone, so it’s important to consider them when planning your visit.

Whether you're spending time in the yard, enjoying the sauna, or exploring the nearby attractions, this home is all about creating lasting family memories.

This was a perfect location being just a few minutes from our family. The host offered very clear communication. The check-in process was very simple. The home incredibly beautiful and comfortable! The beds were fantastic. There was coffee and creamer provided we did not cook, but the kitchen is very well stocked so that if we were to cook, we would’ve had everything we needed.when we return to home or we will definitely be returning to this home for our stay thank you, James.

Beautiful home that is actually on the Historic Registry. Perfectly located adjacent to quaint downtown area. Walking distance to restaurants and food market. House was very clean, comfortable, and it was really nice of the host to have Keurig and K-cups available. I would definitely stay here again!

A storybook escape

This historical home was beautifully appointed. You had everything you could ever need plus the most beautiful furnishings, a sauna, and space for a family gathering. I enjoyed playing the piano and taking advantage of the vintage record collection on the amazing speakers. Walk to The Exchange for fantastic food and drinks or to the performing arts center to take in a concert. One of the best parts? The hosts. Their communication was stellar and they made sure everything was just right. You can’t go wrong with this memorable property.

Fabulous Sauna and Property

The place was lovely! Historic property with a soul of hospitality. The outdoor sauna was perfect for the cold weather and relaxing. Curl up with a good book and enjoy this cute downtown only minutes from local bar, Dashers and the Exchange. We will definitely be returning to Homer and staying at this house at future dates.
