You definitely didn't leave here hungry in the morning. The hot tub was nice in the winter; blast of cold fresh air and hot water even when it's snowy outside. Rooms are nice and clean. Their dog is so well trained. He is very smart. I would go here again or recommend this place to anyone. They even had a piano which I was able to play while there. They have christmas cactus growing above an different types of plants. It's actually a very warm and friendly atmosphere. This was my first time to Alaska and I have to say this B&B left a great impression on me even though there is not much daylight during the winter. That's nature for you!

This is the highest ranked B&B in Homer on Trip Advisor, so we thought it was worth visiting. I…read morewent in the winter. Location: up on the hill with amazing views of the spit, water, volcanoes, etc.. A little further from downtown and definitely not walkable, but the views were worth it. They also sometimes have moose and various birds on the front lawn. Room: We stayed downstairs in the connected Portside and Starboard rooms. There were 3 of us, so this was more comfortable than just one room. There were 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full sized kitchen with refrigerator and stove, and a small patio area. No living room area so any social activities (such as playing a game or cards) would be done in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Heater was adjustable. Each room had a TV with cable. You could hear people walking above you, but it was not too disturbing. It was a bit odd that there were wine shelves in the bathroom. Shower had warm water. Overall, the rooms were clean and had nice personal touches. Breakfast: you eat breakfast in the main house with other guests and the hosts, Steve and Juxia. Juxia cooks breakfast which for us was a fritatta, coffee (which Steve is focused on perfecting, although is a bit elusive about his 'blend'), reindeer sausage, yogurt with fruit on top, and delicious homemade wheat bread with strawberry compote spread. It was great meeting the other guests. Hospitality: Steve and Juxia were great. They greeted us when we arrived and sat us down to tell us about the area and pay the bill. Their house has dozens of beautiful keepsakes, each with its own story. There is a large screen TV with hundreds of movies. The hosts welcome you into their main home to watch tv, play the piano or hear more about local attractions. Both hosts were very friendly and full of information. They also love their dog, a collie, who is showcased in all their brochures/emails. Website has a lot of information, but could use an upgrade. Prices were very reasonable, at least in the winter. Free wifi with good connection.

The wine is also excellent, so many different varieties for fruit wine can make anyone into a lush. The staff is attentive, quick to serve and helpful. They're also just fun to be around in general.

A winery in Alaska?! You heard right... this beer forward state actually has a winery too!…read more I like to wine taste in every state and country I visit so this gem was on the list during my Alaska trip. The wines here are all on the sweeter side (I am not a fan of sweet wines) but they did have a few options that even my palate enjoyed to sample though not enough to buy a bottle of... though you may find it to your liking! A fun fact about the Homer Bear Creek Winery is that most of the wine is not produced from grapes but from various local berries. Overall, it was a fun and different experience with a friendly and informative staff member who made the tasting experience quite enjoyable while browsing the trinkets in the gift shop/tasting room. The property also hosts an inn and has a cozy cabin vibe. If going for just the wine tasting I'd say an hour is plenty for a fun thing to do in Homer.

Oddities: When I made my reservation, I was asked for my CC number to reserve the house. When I arrived, I was informed that they did not take CC???? I thought I was renting the house, but discovered i was only renting rooms in the house and that potentially my kids and I could be sharing common areas. Fortunately no one else showed up and we had the run of it. Regardless of the oddities, it was an outstanding weekend and our host Claudia was wonderful.

We enjoyed bird watching from our bedroom window and especially loved watching the bald eagles and sandhill cranes in the tidal flat below us. We even saw a pheasant walking across the backyard. Our host Lori was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, genuinely friendly and very welcoming. She went out of her way to ensure that we had a wonderful stay recommending several things to see, places to eat and even helped us put together an unforgettable tour of the Kilcher homestead nearby. The room was a bit small but comfortable. As I indicated earlier, the view was fantastic. The bed was excellent and the bedding fresh and clean. There is a large kitchen downstairs available if you want to prepare your own meals. I enjoyed the self serve breakfast with the well stocked fridge which I could access on my timeline early in the morning. There is a full sized fridge, a coffee maker and a microwave upstairs if you don't want to come downstairs to the main kitchen/dinning area. We found the fridge and the coffee maker useful upstairs. Bottom Line: I highly recommend this B&B for lodging in Homer. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

Very friendly proprietor, who met us when we checked in and gave us tips on things to do (and even offered to take care of laundry if needed!). I can't, in good faith, give it a 5-star review because it lacked amenities I would expect from a 5-star hotel, but it was a solid, relatively inexpensive place that met our needs.

She can share a wealth of knowledge about the area. And can she cook. Breakfasts are over the top. From freshly ground coffee, to the fresh fruit, egg dishes, her homemade jams on her wonderful slices of bread, smoked salmon, and on and on. We are staying in the forget-me-not room. The tempurpetic mattress is so comfortable. There is a choice of jacuzzi tub, or shower. She has a large assortment of bath gels, shampoos, rinses, creams and emollients. The only problem with this place is that it is hard to leave.

The Inn is about a 10 minute drive to the Spit in Homer. Our windows overlooked lush greenery and the pacific ocean in the distance. The apartment provided a sitting area, comfy bed, full kitchen-stocked with any kind of breakfast food you could imagine, and a full bathroom. It was so nice, it was hard to leave it daily to explore other areas of Homer. Marcela was a perfect hostess. If you are planning to visit Homer, I strongly suggest checking out Cozy Inn. It sleeps 4. I would love to return to Homer in the future and will no doubt plan my trip around the Cozy Cove availabilities.

Pro: this is one of the most gorgeous places to stay in Homer…read more Pro/Con: it's far away for just about everything. Unfortunately, Homer doesn't have a hostel. This is about as close as you're going to get. We slept in a bed in a room on the first floor of this gigantic house. We arrived late at night. In the morning we walked outside and were stunned by the views! We walked down to the water and were again stunned by the insanely cute/cool cabins. You know the insanely remote, girls-only, tree-house you wanted as a young boy? These kind of fit the bill. I should probably try and stay at them eventually. If you're an uptight travel used to staying in sterile hotels and having your hand-held about every little thing, you should probably check out the Best Western/Holiday Inn/Motel 6 instead. You probably won't like it here.
