The grounds included a bbq gazebo, picnic table, adirondack chairs, and to great delight a spa overlooking the Bay with a crisp view of snow capped mountains and vaguely the Spit. There is also the quaintest inset wood walk going part way down the bluff with access to the beach. Our rooms' quality and impeccably clean furnishings continued the luxurious aura. From decor to amenities, our stay had us feeling pampered. Rest came easily in the crisp quality bedding. And relaxation was plentiful as we created each day reposing over steaming coffee in the upholstered chairs with beautiful Bay views from our room. Evening was slow and easy after a soak in the spa and wrapping in the luxe robes provided. Among other activities, we enjoyed the -5 low tide pools at Bishops Beach. Biking the walk/bike path out onto the Spit. Flagship Creamery has the cutest mini $.75 ice creams for kids and a "blow your mind" crepe bomb for the adults, don't miss the bubble station on the deck while you're there! Calvin and Coyle Trail and the Karen Hornaday Park were more family favorites. Our favorite eats were Two Sisters Bakery, Wild Honey Bistro, Alibi, Captain Patties, and Cosmic Kitchen. The "Stay Awhile" vibe was strong our entire time at The White House Inn. Five out of Five recommend.

My favorite thing to do while we were there was to take my morning cup of coffee and sit in their Adirondack chairs and watch the beautiful ocean. I actually started and ended the days this way! We stayed in the Halibut room and had access to the kitchen so we ate breakfast and lunch there at the Inn then ate dinner on the Spit! We also enjoyed the hot tub that overlooks the bay!! The owners are so easy to work with and the on-site manager was so sweet and helpful! We did see a moose and her 2 babies that live somewhere near the inn (according to the man who lives next door). So fun! If you are looking for a quaint, clean, comfortable place to stay in Alaska the White House Inn is for you!! Great fishing and wildlife viewing in the area!!

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.

We didn't really get to appreciate and enjoy them to the full extent since we arrived so late, went promptly to bed, and had to get up early in the morning. But based on the amenities and location, this is definitely one place I would return to if I were ever to find myself in Homer again. Check in was a little strange, being that you had to check in in a separate spot outside of town. But other than that, the entire check in process was smooth. The space itself was clean, conveniently located, and the bed was phenomenal! We enjoyed the jetted tub and the clear skies and beautiful views of the water. Walking distance from the harbor, several restaurants, and shops, this is the place to stay in Homer! Just beware, that if you stay here in the off-season, you are pretty much out on the spit by yourself with almost no amenities available. We ended up eating at McDonald's because it was the only thing open in Homer at 8 PM on a Wednesday night.

The property itself was well-kept. The lodges are right on the beach at end of Homer Spit, and there was some maintenance construction happening on two or three lodges while we were there--inside the apartment, it was completely silent, though. The radiant heat flooring was a nice touch, and it was great to have direct beach access through the back door. This place also has incredibly soft, fluffy bath towels--this is one place hotels often scrimp, so I am always appreciative of great towels. The shower was a bit tricky to figure out, but an employee answered the off-hours phone line and walked us through it.

Donna Garrett who is the host is an successful and accomplished buisnesswoman in her own right. The Wheelhouse where we stayed has a nautical theme with a full size ships wheel facing the front window overlooking Kachemak Bay and the mountains behine the Bay. This is a large 2 story cabin and just my wife and I stayed here so there was plenty of room, which we both enjoyed immensly. Donna's main "Goto" guy is Ric who did a tremendous job of introducing us to the ammenities that the property offered. All appliances are modern and worked perfectly. The kitchen shelves and the refrigerator were stocked with most every accoutrement and essential spice one could desire to make themselves feel at home. Donna had tbutter, banana bread, apples and bananas ready for our stay. The beds were quite comfortable as were the couches and chairs in the living room. The bookshelves and many nooks abounded with reading material pertaining to the Kenai Peninsula area as well as history of Homer itself. I definitely will recommend this place to anyone who is tired of the hotel and motel life and wants to expand their horizons and relax a bit.

It's located right off the highway but we weren't bothered by any road noise during the night. And they're located just a couple miles from the beach in Ninilchik so it's a prime location if you're gonna dig for clams. Highly recommended.
