This was a beautiful place. From the moment I walked in the door I was in awe. The views are breathtaking. Everything you need is there, just bring food and clothes! The outdoor sitting areas are conveniently located around the property to enjoy the scenery. The flowers stopped me at the door every time I walked in with their heavenly aroma. If you are going to Homer this is where you want to stay. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place.

Wonderful attention to detail. The rooms were clean and well-thought out: coffee, creamer, heated floors in the bathroom, towels for the hot tub…the room had a nice deck with the most spectacular and clear views of the inlet, mountains, glacier, and harbor. The host ws helpful and responsive, while being completely unobtrusive. It was a wonderful stay!

The perfect place

Absolutely magical! Our stay at this special place in Homer, AK was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views—truly some of the most stunning scenery we’ve ever experienced. The cabin itself was cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully appointed with every detail carefully considered. You can feel the love and care the owners have poured into this place! We had an unexpected hiccup when our son got sick during our vacation, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. This was the perfect sanctuary to relax, recharge, and heal. The peaceful setting, comfy beds, and warm, welcoming atmosphere made all the difference. The owners are the sweetest people—so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Despite feeling tucked away in our own little haven, we were just minutes from everything Homer has to offer. It was the best of both worlds: privacy and convenience. We truly can’t wait to come back and make even more memories in this incredible place.

Beautifully decorated unit and grounds with spectacular view from either of the 2 community use decks or from the private deck, or even from inside the unit with large sliding glass door view out to the beautiful flower gardens and mountains across the bay. Was nice to have the view from the warmth of inside. Bed was very comfortable, shower was spacious, washer and dryer was very handy inside our unit with detergent available for our use. Liz, the owner, was out gardening on our arrival, and was very welcoming and friendly. Even offered to give us bear spray to use if we did any hiking. The cleaner wasn't quite ready for our arrival at 4 pm, so we waited 10 minutes for the floor to dry. Prior tenant hadn't run the dishwasher and we had to ask for more soap and toilet paper during our 2 day stay, but none of that would prevent me from highly recommending the Lighthouse. There were yummy treats in the room for us too, as well as coffee and tea. No sugar but Liz would have provided if we had asked. Hope we can return someday.

The property views were amazing. The bed was comfortable and the accommodations were modern. The electronic door lock was a challenge every time. You never knew if it would lock or unlock. Each time it took multiple tries to get it to lock or unlock. The curtains were not blackout as we have experienced with other Alaskan accommodations. It was odd that the shower did not have a niche or a soap holder. The unit had a washer and dryer that we planned on using, but couldn’t because the washer was full of black mold that did not wipe away. We would not stay here again.
