The room was perfect for what I needed this trip. I was a late arrival and Lila made everything easy for me to self check-in - down to a late checkout so I could get some much needed rest! This will likely be my new go-to when I'm looking for a place to stay in Homer!

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!
