    Hosts were friendly, helpful, and made our stay special. Their home is lovely and filled with many beautiful, interesting pieces with great stories to accompany them. The garden is fabulous and the breakfast really wonderful! The view is great, too.

    We stayed at Rosie's for two nights while we were in Homer with our little 11 month old daughter. We loved the comfort and the hospitality the most. Rosie and Erliss were so sweet with our daughter. Rosie and Erliss would play with her and give her things to play with on the floor. She enjoyed the space to crawl around. They made us feel that their home was our home and even adopted our daughter as thier grandaugher. I love love love the garden!!! There is quite a spectacular view of the bay and glaciers from their home. Loved the breakfasts. They also had a great knowledge of the area and things to do while we were there. We left one of our daughter's shirts at the B&B and Rosie went out of her way to mail it back to us. I thought that was so thoughtful and wonderful. If I come back to Alaska, I would make an extra trip to Homer just to stay there again.

    Outstanding B&B

    The home and gardens were absolutely beautiful, the view was breathtaking. Erless and Rosie was generous and entertaining hosts. I would recommend this B&B to anyone.

    Rosy and Erlis (sp?) were devine hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed their company, the conversations, the menu (fabulous!), the room arrangements, and the view of Homer! We can't express our delight enough. They were so pleasant to be with. Our arrival was rather late, but that didn't seem to matter to them. Furnishings for us were terrific, including some of our favorites chocolates by the bedside! Rosy's garden was absolutely amazing and pleasing to the eye to observe. We found that we had mutual aquaintances which made the visit that much more special. For future visits, we would definitely choose Rosy's place again in spite of the fact that we've been to two other Homer B&Bs in the past.

    Great place to Stay!

    Erless was wonderful. Very helpful with local information. Unfortunately did not get to spend much time with Rosie and enjoy her cooking.
