If you're using Vagrant though Homestead, it's possible there was an error mounting the shared folder. It looks like Vagrant takes your files from that folder and swaps out the files that are actually on the host machine on boot, so if there was an error, you're essentially trying to access your Laravel installation from when you first made it (which is why you're only getting "home"- that was generated during installation).

You can easily check this by sshing into your vm and checking the routes/web.php file to see if it's actually your file. If it isn't, exit out and vagrant halt, vagrant up, and look for errors on boot.
