The room was perfect for what I needed this trip. I was a late arrival and Lila made everything easy for me to self check-in - down to a late checkout so I could get some much needed rest! This will likely be my new go-to when I'm looking for a place to stay in Homer!

We had an awesome stay in Homer at the Pioneer Inn. The room perfectly suited our needs and Lila & Paula were amazing. Very responsive to questions and checking in to assure our stay was satisfactory. Also, I tweeked my knee, because you know, walking is hard :). They drove me to the medical center to get it checked out, and came back to pick me up afterward. They also helped me to find a knee brace in town. I would definitely stay at the Pioneer Inn when in Homer again.
