There is a lot to love about this property. A ton of care has gone into designing the rooms. Mine had a faux fireplace, a state-of-the art shower, and some really cool lighting, plus a great bed and bedding and some other stylish touches. The semi-private patio and hot tub are the stuff of dreams and the shared patio overlooking the spectacular bay is just stunning. The only issue (and the only reason I didn't give five stars) is that the room is actually quite small. I was traveling alone and the weather was good (allowing lots of use of the outdoor spaces), so no problem, but even with a romantic partner, it would have been quite cramped. Even so, this is a special place and well worth staying at. I didn't use the spa services, but they looked really nice. This is a fun, interesting, and stylish place to stay. Highly recommended.

We ended up having a few days and decided last minute to go to Homer. We found this place through Expedia and reviews. It was amazing. My wife and I absolutely loved it. Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful view. People were fantastic! Can't recommend it enough.

Raymond,Thank you staying with us and taking the initiative to leave a review. Our Expedia listing states under room amenities that we have climate-controlled heating. It is uncommon for oceanfront properties to have air conditioning, but recognizing that the weather can fluctuate, the staff makes fans and blankets available to guests at no additional charge, should one be requested.I understand they were attentive to your requests for both during your stay, and I hope you will consider visiting Homer, and our hotel, again some day.

Glad to hear you had a great stay! We are about a 20 minute walk to Pioneer Avenue, where there are a lot of art galleries and restaurants. Our location is in central Homer, on the beach, in a secluded coastal setting. We usually recommend renting a car while in Homer...there are just so many great views in different parts of the area! Thanks...and please come on back for another stay! Paul Hueper, GM

We stayed in a studio, but it was spacious, light and airy. Beautiful view, every amenity we needed. We had problems with the stairs, but that's due to old knees. The gravel road getting to the property was a little rough; made us think we were headed the wrong way. But a moose walked across the road in front of us, which was interesting. It was a beautiful room. We enjoyed the property's jacuzzi, too.

I stayed here previously & had a good experience. I booked the same (pet friendly) room that I had stayed in but when I arrived I was told it was being renovated & they would have to place me in an upgraded suite with an upcharge. The suite wasn’t as nice as the room I had booked but did have multiple beds shoved about (futon, single bed beside the futon, bunk beds) a weirdly renovated room. I recommend calling in advance to make sure the room you are renting on Expedia will be the one you are staying in to prevent any additional charges.

Ashly, Thanks for letting us know you had a less-than-perfect stay with us. Please come on back, and we will comp you a similar room as you had before (please call or e-mail with this letter if you decide to come and enjoy an oceanfront room). We are constantly upgrading and improving our rooms...and I am so sorry that there was a mix-up on our part. Whatever it takes...we want to makethat right for you! Paul

Wonderful 2-night stay!
This place is beautiful- we booked the King suite and it had sweeping views of the water and bay. Loved it! The amenities were lovely and the fire pit and hot tub were great! The hotel is about 5-7 minutes outside of the Homer Spit, close enough to the action but also far enough away to feel secluded and cozy. Would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Homer! :)

The pictures don't do this justice. We came to Homer for an athletic event and I wasn't sure how we would all fit in the space but it was roomy enough for us. We enjoyed the views, the hot tub, and the special treats. My only critique would be to give us enough treats for our party.
