The 10 best hotels in Homer, United States

June 25, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Homer is a nature lover's nirvana where common sights can include moose grazing, a black bear crossing the road or porpoises playing in the surf. The charming seaside city, overlooking Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Mountains, can be the starting point for a multitude of exciting adventures, including glacier skiing and viewing and guided kayak tours. Naturally splendid Kachemak State Park offers even more outdoor fun, with miles of excellent backcountry hiking trails. Explore nearby Halibut Cove, a unique fishing and artists' enclave where the roads are made of water. Or head to downtown Homer to sample delicious seafood, art galleries, museums and shops that sell locally made crafts. A trip to Homer would not be complete without casting a rod for salmon or halibut, the area's major catches. Head to the Homer Spit and try your luck from the shore or join a chartered fishing boat excursion. No matter which activities you choose, a weekend in Homer is sure to be an unforgettable experience.

Maria’s BnB was absolutely wonderful! She’s a fabulous chef and breakfasts were delicious. The view from our deck was gorgeous and peaceful. We actually extended our stay an additional day so we could relax and enjoy the accommodations and the hosts. Everything was neat and tidy and clean. The bedding and linens very comfy and the kitchenette was perfect for our needs. We look forward to another stay at this majestic BnB!!

LAND'S END is doing much better this year. Assume new management. They have a new coffee shop. some might like it as it is more 'upscale' with seats for computing, etc. Not much in the way of souvenirs. I liked their cards and tee shirts and sweatshirts. Even the neighbors were quieter! that's a biggie.

Great tiny house

Reviewed By aks_travels

My husband and I have stayed at the Driftwood Inn many times in the past 10+ years. We have stayed in a variety of their rooms and were excited to try the tiny little mermaid house. It is a bit expensive, but a cute little cabin in the RV park with its own bathroom and kitchen, so I think it is worth it. It is a little bright in the summer (could use some curtains on the front door), but otherwise we enjoyed our two nights there.

Reviewed By D7983SFmichaelv

Very nice place. Quiet and peaceful. Great view of ocean from deck. Not down on the beach, but up above it by over 12 feet. No access from resort, but it can be gotten to nearby. Not a deal breaker. Room is very spacious. Large bed with incredibly soft and comfortable sheets. Fake fireplace makes for nice soft nightlight. Unique floor is made up of wood pieces. Not perfectly even, but easy and comfortable to walk on barefoot. Took a bit to figure out the shower controls. Kind of like trying to crack open a safe. After the initial full body blast of cold water, warm water never changed and stayed consistent throughout shower. Kind of exciting to figure out the different shower head options. Fun to watch my wife try. Large bathroom very well laid out. Large mini fridge, microwave, coffee machine, Tea pot in room Three remote controls in the room. 1 for TV,  1 for TV and DirecTV. 1 for the King size bed. A remote for the bed!! It was awesome! Message yurt was great. Well worth the money. Machine messages but excellent chairs. Back and feet feel incredible and relaxed. Highly recommend! Had a visit from hotel Kitty. Made herself at home.

Not impressed

Reviewed By akkricket

The day I left, the front desk left a voicemail on my phone letting me know I forgot my hat. When I called back, the gal that answered didn’t know about it so I heard her ask Barbie about it and heard Barbie say yes they had it. I asked if I mailed them a prestamped mailer, if they could pop it in the mail and they said yes. So I did just that. Then I got a call from Barbie saying they got rid of the hat because they didn’t know who it belonged to. So that was a straight out lie. I was blown away by the dishonesty. The room: we stayed downstairs so we had a view of rocks and the parking lot. The hallways were very dimly lit with different watts/different shades of yellow light bulbs by every single doorway, The hallway reeked of cigarettes, and it sounded like we had elephants in the room above us. They kept stomping around until close to midnight. The only decent thing about this place was the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. With the dishonesty factor alone, I’d not recommend this place or stay there again.

Brigitte's Bavarian Bed und Breakfast

Brigitte's overlooks Kachemak Bay, the Kenai mountains and their glaciers. It is quiet here, at the end of the road. All rooms have a nice view from outside and within, private entry/porch and bath. Each contains a queen size bed and a twin. Books on Alaska are in each and there a fossils from the area. Walkways lead into the gardens. Hiking trails start from right outside the rooms.

Authentic Swiss-Alaskan hospitality!

Well appointed cabins for a relaxing stay. Kitchenettes are fully stocked with dishes, cookware and some cleaning supplies. Just bring your food! Quiet location and minutes to town. Love the large grassy field out front of the cabins for our small dog to play. There are 3 very friendly large dogs that come to visit from the house next door. The largest dog is one gentle giant! Two different cabins I’ve stayed in have a king bed and fold out futon. The king bed doesn’t slit to 2 twins. The cabins are fresh and clean.
