About this property

Delightful Historic House In The Heart Of Downtown - Walk To Everything!

Just a short walk to so many of the things our wonderful Alaskan town has to offer - gourmet restaurants, sandwich shops, Thai, Sushi, pizzerias, characterful bars, cheerful cafés with locally roasted coffee, art galleries & pottery shops featuring the myriad of talented local artists who call Homer home; The Pratt Museum, the Islands & Oceans Visitor Center, a movie theater - even the beach ... all within striking distance of this charming house.
A short drive away is the famous Homer Spit which leads you to the harbor and all the fabulous fishing & nature activities we offer here.

Completely rebuilt and remodeled, this historic house was saved by its owners as a piece of Homer's history. It has everything you will need for a most comfortable stay - a brand new full kitchen to prepare your freshly caught fish, two bedrooms each with their en suite bathrooms, and a guest restroom if you have extra people. One bedroom has two extra long twin beds that can be made in to a King bed. The other has a Queen bed. Its spacious deck is warm and sunny and has a view of the Bay and mountains beyond. Though right in town, it has a lovely private, woodsy feel. Don't be surprised to find a moose napping under the trees!

The property was in a convenient location with plenty of restaurants within walking distance. At the time we were there several trees were being cut down with chainsaws and a shredder right next to house. I felt that check out at 10:00 am was a little early and having to find and take the trash to a dumpster inconvenient. Great communication with the host.

Comfortable home and great location

Victoria is a very kind and responsive host. Gave us great recommendations too! The home is lovely with comfortable beds and is located close to everything. We were able to get to the spit for our fishing trip quickly, the grocery store was nearby and plenty of restaurants to choose from in close proximity. The home is equipped with everything you could need and having 2.5 bathrooms was great for our group. It was fun watching the wildlife in the front yard....bunnies and sandhill cranes. Will definitely come back again.

2024 smith Alaska trip

Went to visit Homer and could not have found a better location. A short drive to the Spit and a walk away from several restaurants and shops not to mention the beach. The home was much larger than expected from the ad and very comfortable for 4 adults .

Homer stay

Our group of 2 couples, (4 adults) stayed here for 3 nights. We definitely wanted 2 bedrooms and 2 separate bathrooms, this place had 2 1/2 baths and that was awesome. Everyone had enough privacy, kitchen was well equipped, location was good, had the weather been better we definitely would've taken advantage of the deck more. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house for family vacation

The Pioneer house was perfect for my family of 4. Super comfy beds and fluffy towels,. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, utensils and fridge had basic condiments. Really appreciated the washer and dryer after hiking around. Victoria was very friendly - would definitely stay here again if we are ever in Homer.

Great place!

Perfect for 2 couples. Highly recommend although the only place you can walk to is Alice’s Champagne Palace across the street but no biggie since we had a vehicle. No hot tub. Which we did not care about, anyway. Had a little trouble locating it because the other reference building is no longer marked so key in on “Alice’s.”

Seldovia Excursion

We had a fun stay in Homer, with our ferry excursion and day hike to the beaches in Seldovia. Location was great, with fun bar with live music. Very clean, cupboards and pantry well stocked. It was my first tie where I stayed and had condiments, spices to not have to buy when I arrived. Only thing missing was a couple of throws (blankets, sheets for couch sleepers). would highly recommend this place!

Cute, Clean, Comfy

Clean and updated house close to town. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient place to stay while in Homer. Accuracy of listing only rated 4 stars as check out time is listed as "check out after 11AM" yet it was requested of us that we needed to depart by 10AM or cleaning would be an additional $50. Note to owner: please change your listing details to reflect this.

Trash

The only thing I would suggest is that the owner provide trash service. I think for what people pay that should be provided instead of having to haul the trash to the spit and find a dumpster to put it in.
