I so enjoyed my day at the day spa. I received a gift certificate for the "Blissful Beachfront Spa" package. I have had many massages, and have visited a few day spas, but this was a real treat. The therapist (Annette), took every care to make me feel pampered. The place is just gorgeous, and you are in a separate cabin overlooking Kachemak Bay, so it is very quiet. The aromatic foot soak was just lovely, and included a sugar and coconut oil exfoliation (but this is not pedicure level sandblasting, so do not expect that). The hot stones were wonderful, and the massage was deep and thorough, relaxing and therapeutic at the same time (I went in with a 2-day stiff neck). I enjoyed the steam facial at the end of the massage (again, there is no black-head removal here, just warmth and relaxation on a cold winter day). My face glowed for hours. I am a Homer girl, so there is one thing I will note that did not take away a star for me, but should be known by those used to more posh places. The cozy cabin is about 20 outdoor steps away from the lodge, where the bathroom is.

Overall very nice with beautiful views. You feel secluded, private, and cozy. Good wine and tea available. Breakfast is only Quaker packaged oatmeal for you to cook yourself. Fridge and microwave in room. Coffee is available to make in your room, but our room was not cleaned after our first night- bed was made, but towels on the floor weren't replaced, we'd tracked in dirt which wasn't swept, and the coffee pot wasn't cleaned out so I couldn't make coffee the next morning. Despite this, there was a tip envelope for preparing the room prior to our stay. I was a little taken aback. We never saw anyone at the front desk after check-in. Our smoke alarm sat on the front counter untouched for our entire stay after we had to remove the battery the first night due to chirping. We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again, but for the price I paid, I expected much higher quality.

Since i had posted a review about how disappointed we were, there have been several reviews on another site giving this place 5 Stars. They all were from locals so therefore I can now understand how we were misled and how this place received such a high rating from Trip Advisor!! From here on we will consider the source of the reviews. How easy it is to get your friends to rate you! How disappointing!

Homer Inn and Spa is a gorgeous peaceful place to stay in Homer, Ak. It overlooks Homer Spit and provides a gorgeous view of the glaciers. They give you complimentary homemade wine. We tried the Blueberry Merlot. It was sweet but tasty. We stayed at this location because it had a hot tub that sat on the bluff just above the ocean. It was amazing. We spent as much time as possible there enjoying the amazing view. I do not have any trips to Homer planned but when I do this place is the first reservation I will make. The only thing they could improve is adding a better shower head. The shower was really cool but the shower head was a bit of a downer. Honestly I can overlook this small details for this charming Inn.

This place is absolutely fabulous! If you go, ask for Holly... her technique is one of the best I've ever experienced, and I've been getting massages for 18 years. (I had the swedish/deep tissue combination). Also, I recommend sitting in the jacuzzi for a half hour beforehand; you'll see sea otters playing and the occasional porpoise. After my massage I opted for the glacial mud facial, which really helped my wind chapped skin. A wonderful experience!
