There was plenty of room for two. The back bedroom offers privacy and though we didn't use the kitchenette it's a handy option for anyone who wants to cook. The instructions for my arrival were thorough making it an easy process for checking in. Great stay!

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!

We booked 1 night. Within 10 minutes after arrival we added a second night. The place was great. Spacious, clean, had all amenities to make the stay comfortable. Complete kitchen with pots and pans, dishes, coffee maker and ground coffee, toaster, you name it. Cafes, restaurants and galleries in walking distance. Very quite at nighttime, so we could sleep with open window.. would stay here again.

Beautiful area overlooking downtown Homer. Room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Our room was equipped with a coffee maker and supplies of not only coffee and tea but also hot chocolate. The bed was comfortable and lots of towels available. Kitchen supplies would make it a perfect place for extended stay - I’m sorry we weren’t able to stay more than one night.

The Pioneer Inn is not a cabin, it's a motel. It's fine but ground floor is really noisy because of the people upstairs and it's chock full-and I mean chock full-of where to dine info that is tacked onto the walls in numerous places and in books and there's signage virtually everywhere and QR codes to scan in case you missed the analog info.
