Halcyon Heights B&B/Inn — Hotel in Homer

How would you feel staying at a relative's place in a touristy place ? Your relatives would ensure you have a comfortable stay, suggest good sightseeing options, make recommendations for tours, keep your dietary restrictions in mind and provide you options for breakfast, right ? Well, Juxia and Steven did all that for us. They are such affable hosts, warm and welcoming. They nudge you in the right direction to make good decisions for your trip. For instance, when our bear watching trip to Lake Clark got cancelled, we reached out to Juxia for advice. This was even before we reached Homer and we hadn't checked into the B&B until then. But still, she spoke to us over phone for a long time, explaining us the options we had and highly recommended a lesser-known Bear Watching Tour. ||And Boy, was she right ! ||We reached Homer, went on the tour and had a blast. It was a pretty unique, Bear Watching Safari Tour and it became a highlight of our trip. All thanks to Juxia.||She also kept in mind our vegetarian diet and made us delicious breakfasts, we were highly impressed by her cooking skills and her attention to detail in plating the meal.||We even spotted a Moose and her calf from our bedroom..yayy :)||Combine all this with gorgeous glacier views, being surrounded by the mountains of Kachemak Bay and you have...

My family stayed 2 nights at Halcyon Height B&B in June 2016.

Halcyon Height B&B got a beautiful view overlooking Homer Spit. On a sunny day, you can see snow mountains, glaciers, boats and planes. It's said moose and bears may visit the yard, but we didn't see one.

The house is decorated with every detail and is as cozy as home. We stayed in the Captain's Room. It's very spacious and well equipped with everything we need and has its own entry. The owner couple are very hospitable and friendly. They introduced all things we need to know around the B&B and Homer. They helped to booked our fishing and sea kayaking tour which turned out to be some of the best experiences we had in Alaska. Because we had to leave for the tour every morning, we were not able to join the breakfast in the dining room. But they prepared very tasty snack for us to bring over to the boat. The lady can cook different cuisine, the way she baked the fresh halibut (we fished!) was so delicious!

We would definitely...

My special needs son and I stayed two nights at Halcyon Heights at the end of our epic Alaskan adventure for his 18th birthday. We had been staying at a different local hotel that was clean, but not quiet at all. Neither of us had gotten much sleep in a week and were worn out from all of the adventuring we were having. Arriving at Halcyon Heights was like finding home away from home. It was so peaceful and just lovely. The view of Kachemak Bay was beautiful; I absolutely loved my quiet mornings on the veranda with a hot cup of coffee and my book, snuggled up in a blanket, enjoying rest, relaxation, and the view. Stephen and Juxia were very kind hosts, welcoming and informative about different places to see in Homer and interesting hiking spots. Juxia made breakfasts that were a delicious and nutritious way to start the day. I recommend Halcyon Heights for anyone staying in Homer. If we ever get back to Alaska, we will stay...
