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!

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 .

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.”

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.

Homer Ak Cabin

This was the cutest 2 bedroom cabin in the middle of everything but secluded enough to be private. Had everything we needed to be comfortable and a nice view of the snow capped mountains out 2 very large picture windows. Each Bedroom has it's on bath but a third bath in the hallway made it very convenient for our family of 4. We were on the go but the place has a nice deck with grill for enjoying the outdoors. Would definitely stay here again should we get to come back.

Great Stay—10/10.

My adult daughter and I stayed at Pioneer House in June. The stay had all the amenities you might need. It’s the perfect place for 2 couples. The beds might be the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in in a VRBO. It’s close to everything you might want to do in Homer. Great communication with the host. She was on top of everything.
