We booked 1 night. Within 10 minutes after arrival we added a second night. The place was great. Spacious, clean, had all amenities to make the stay comfortable. Complete kitchen with pots and pans, dishes, coffee maker and ground coffee, toaster, you name it. Cafes, restaurants and galleries in walking distance. Very quite at nighttime, so we could sleep with open window.. would stay here again.

Beautiful area overlooking downtown Homer. Room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Our room was equipped with a coffee maker and supplies of not only coffee and tea but also hot chocolate. The bed was comfortable and lots of towels available. Kitchen supplies would make it a perfect place for extended stay - I’m sorry we weren’t able to stay more than one night.

Great stay at this Inn!

Good view over of the ocean and good location to restaurants! We had a spacious suite and our communication with the management/owner was outstanding! Owner, Lila, borrowed us hiking poles, bear spray, suggested hikes, restaurants for all meals and steered us in so many fun local ways! We would stay at the Pioneer Inn again!

Pros: The room was super clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was hot with lots of pressure. There were eating places within walking distance. Internet service was good. Cons: Could hear people walking outside and upstairs which was very loud and annoying. The room had a king bed but was otherwise fairly small. The owner did give us a $30 refund and offered to move us to a bigger room.
