Best Place to Stay in Homer

Review of Juneberry Lodge
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 3, 2021
I had an amazing stay with Marcia and Mannfried. I was visiting Alaska with family and Marcia and Mannfried made sure to give us the best information on where to go, how to handle logistics, and most importantly, a great place to stay! Juneberry Lodge itself is an amazing log cabin filled with artifacts and art representing Alaska indigenioous culture, wildlife, and unique frontier history. Mannfried made us delicious breakfasts every morning and Marcia gave us the best tips on where to go and how to best experience Homer and the surrounding areas. I plan on returning soon!
Date of stay: August 2021

Hard to decide what was best about Juneberry Lodge: The views, the awesome breakfasts (thanks, Mannfied), or the accomodattions. Oh wait, I know the best part: the hosts! Friendly and a wealth of information!

The home is gorgeous, with the guest rooms on their own floor for privacy. The location is convenient to all things Homer and easy to get to from the main road. Whether it was a lazy morning in, or an early evening of reading and watching the ever-changing view, Juneberry Lodge was a great place to relax as well as a base of operations for our Alaska trip. Marcia's recommendations all worked out wonderfully for us. An utterly unforgettably trip. We'll be back!

The very best part of Juneberry Lodge is the guests! We love sharing this amazing place with guests and always hope they fall in love with it, too ... as you did. We look forward to your return. THANKS for all the great photos you took. They really captured the essence of this corner of Alaska.

What a remarkable accommodation!!! I could not get enough of this place - absolutely the best stay in Alaska and one of the few top places we've ever stayed around the globe. Marcia and Mannfried made our time here a one to remember for good. In fact, we had decided to cancel all our plans for the only afternoon we had in Homer just to enjoy this place, the deck and the view. We had room on the first floor with 2 beds and private bathroom – very comfortable sleep, spacious enough for 3 of us, beyond cozy. Hosts are extremely hospital, top notch communication. Marcia has a collection of donated bear sprays for hikers :) The whole property is uniquely decorated, immaculately clean! It was so good to share few stories at the very tasty breakfast, play some music – it became personal. My heart melts every time I think about this stay. Next time I’m in Homer – I know where to go :) Guys, THANK YOU so much for sharing your home with us – splendid experience!!! :)

Room tip: every room is unique - ask the hosts - they are very responsive and caring

Wow! Thank you for your many kind words. We loved visiting with you and so enjoyed the piano concert. When we stayed here as guests many years ago, we fell in love with it, too, and look what happened to us! Watch out, the next time you come, you may not leave! You are always welcomed.

We stayed at Juneberry for two nights, wish we could stay more...
The room was extremely comfortable and clean and has everything we needed, the breakfast on the deck facing the magnificent view was both pleasant and delicious.
And above all - Marcia is a great hostess, she gave us a lot of useful tips and recommendations and was fun to meet and talk to, thank you Marcia for making our stay at Homer so enjoyable!

Absolutely wonderful. Marcia was an amazing hostess with a wealth of local knowledge. She made you feel very welcome.
The breakfast was top notch with every item carefully homemade. She even had starter dough over 100 years old!
The only thing I could suggest is to install black out shades in room. Also...there is no TV in room, which is fine with me but just mentioning it for some that may like to watch news or something. But she had WiFi so most people today watch stuff on their devices.
Anayway...5 stars and would gladly stay again. I felt sad when having to say goodbye to Marcia.

THANKS so much for your encouraging comments and suggestion. Good to know that the blinds in that room are not sufficient. No one has mentioned that before, so we're glad you brought that to our attention -- good for you! I enjoyed your visit immensely. We love this area and love sharing it with guests who are so curious and interested as you two.

I’ve been wanting to post a review ever since returning from Alaska a year and a half ago --- but maybe it’s better that I’ve waited --- to let you know how unforgettable this particular Alaskan B&B is!
The Juneberry Lodge has the perfect location: it's close to town, the Spit (home to popular Homer restaurants), hiking trails, and even the Kilcher Family homestead.
The Juneberry Lodge invites you to feel at home and supplies all the necessities for a satisfying stay. Our room was very clean & our bed warm and comfy. The room we stayed in is on the ground floor and has access to a bathroom with limited sink space across the hall, which meant we had to carry some of our toiletries over and back, morning and evening. No big problem, really, except that in one carry-over, I lost a gold stud earring, and never found it. So if you’re wanting to pan for gold in Alaska, the Juneberry Lodge might be the place to start!
The “aspects” of the Lodge that deserve the most attention, however, are the hosts. What treasures they are!
Marcia is a gracious advisor who suggested restaurants, hikes, and even particular Spit water taxis. She took the time to make reservations and draw maps, just to make sure we got to where we wanted to go.
And Mannfried is a wonderful cook. Please make sure you stay at the Juneberry Lodge long enough to partake of a particular breakfast of fruit and delicately cooked crêpes, because it is one of the best breakfasts you'll ever taste! (You might see a photo of this particular breakfast as part of the Lodge’s “description”.) Mannfried is more than a master chef, however, and if you’re very lucky, you might even get a chance to experience one of his other skills – as he plays the cello for you.
Have a great stay, and pat sweet Django on the head for me (us!)
