Older building, but plenty of space for a small family to sleep on vacation for a reasonable price in today’s economy. Enjoyed the self check-in.

Great place!
The Pioneer Inn was a perfect place to rest my family’s heads for the evening after a great couple of days in Homer. There were three beds, a kitchen, and a little tv sitting area. The view from the second floor room was amazing.

There's a great art store and a small museum next door. The staff checked in throughout our stay to make sure we had whatever we needed and to make sure we found good things to do and food to eat. Easy check-in and check-out. We highly recommend!
