Crane's Rest is a wonderful B&B for your Homer experience. Julie and Steve are outstanding hosts, warm, friendly, welcoming to all of their guests. Their breakfasts are great with lots of home-cooked goodies and even generous amounts of fresh fruit, which is a rare treat in Alaska. We stayed in the "downstairs" room which was attractive and spacious. We had... More

If you are looking for a place to rest your head away from the hustle and bustle of the Spit, then the Crane's Rest is a welcoming escape. We stayed in the Puffin Suite for three nights with both rooms offering the basic amenities. The split design bathroom (the counter sink is separated from the shower and toilet) is ideal... More

The Homer area is absolutely spectacular and Crane's Rest is a great place to view it. Julie and Steve are great hosts. If you stay there, and you should, the GPS people do not always recognize Sibson Dr.. Julie told us to enter Gibson Dr. instead and it worked. Also Julie recommended a drive that took us up on the...

Crane's Rest must have one of the best B&B views in the world - glaciated mountains, sea, semi-rural surroundings. For travelers with a car it's only short drive from Homer; without a car, taxis are a bit expensive. Hosts Julie and Steve were wonderful - friendly, helpful and good company. Theirl referrals to local restaurants etc were spot on. Rooms,... More

We spent two lovely, comfortable nights at Steve and Julie's lovely home. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed so very comfortable with proper squishy pillows :) which was very welcoming after a very tiring day "bear watching". The view was amazing and we were lucky enough to have a visit from the Crane's and two baby moose. It... More

Steve and Julie immediately made us feel welcome and at home then showed us to out private entrance room. It was clean and well appointed. They told us about all the great places to visit in Homer, Alaska including the "Spit". They also told us about the "locals" night at a popular restaurant where we could have dinner at about... More

We stayed in one of the rooms downstairs which was quiet, clean, and comfortable. This B&B is only a short drive from town with great glacier views, friendly hosts, delicious breakfast, and sandhill cranes flying overhead. Julie and Steve were very knowledgeable about the area and were happy to make recommendations. We'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Homer and... More

We stayed there for two nights. The hosts were great! Julie really took care of her guests. Breakfast in the dinning room was terrific. We had to leave at 5am one day for our fishing trip and Julie prepared nice to go breakfast for us for that day. We stayed at one of the cheaper rooms downstairs. It had it's... More

Stayed three nights at Crane's rest. Rooms are comfortable and the view is spectacular. Julie and Steve made us feel like we were visiting friends...the full home-cooked breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed sitting around the table with the other guests and talking about our experiences in Alaska. Saw sandhill cranes and ring-necked pheasants in the yard. We would definitely... More
