Beautiful cabin

We loved our stay at the homer seaplane base. Everything was well laid out and we had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. I especially appreciated the laundry facilities after days on the road. The view from the cabins is unbeatable. Easy check in, comfy beds, fast wifi. We loved it

Perfect for our first trip to Alaska

Our stay at this VRBO on a pristine seaplane lake was absolutely amazing! The views were spectacular, and watching planes land and take off was the highlight of our trip. Not only did we get to enjoy the seaplane base, but we also made a reservation to fly with them on one of their excursions, which made it the absolute perfect location. The convenience of having a restaurant onsite, along with a fully equipped kitchen, made our stay even more enjoyable. The place was clean and very comfortable, making it the perfect spot for our first visit to Alaska.

Wonderful place to stay in Homer

The new cabins at Homer Seaplane Base are modern, spacious, well outfitted including a kitchen, comfortable, and have lovely views out over the lake. There is a delicious Mexico-themed restaurant on site. We had a spectacular seaplane tour with our expert pilot Jing out over Kenai Fjords National Park, the Harding Icefields, and an exciting landing on Lake Clark in Lake Clark National Park. They also fly bear-watching expeditions. Staff were friendly, helpful, and informative. Altogether a delightful experience!
