I researched several places prior to staying at Halcyon--I was initially impressed because of the spectacular views of the Homer Spit. It was all I expected and more! I went with a friend who drove, and he was initially annoyed because of the curving around the roads (but it was very late in the evening), and he even later said, "Wow..you were so right--this place was worth it in every way!" It's not right in town, but a little drive up away from town, but not bad at all, or far, and a very pretty drive--thus, the gorgeous view! An excellent, ideal view for pictures, too. You wouldn't get that in town. Also, I often saw wildlife en route to and from town--a moose and a young and older calf, on one occasion!

Juxia was very welcoming and knowledgeable. She knows everything about Homer--and this allowed me to experience things I did not even plan to take part of (e.g., Halibut Cove), but now, so thankful I did! Also, Juxia was always excited to hear what we all had done and how much we enjoyed it when we returned from the excursions. I always enjoyed hanging out, talking with her about various Homer-related events, and just other things, in general. She is really a genuinely sweet, down-to-earth person.

Juxia provided excellent breakfasts which were all-natural, healthy, well-balanced, and generous in amount, as well as varied and creative. I was never hungry until dinner and always skipped lunch--when people asked why, my reply was, "Juxia cooks these great, very filling, big breakfasts every single day, so I'm never hungry."

The place was clean and well-decorated-- I loved my room. It was very cozy. Juxia's dog was also cute and adorable, and enjoyed him since I'm such an animal-lover. I plan to return, God-willing to Homer this summer, and plan to again stay with Juxia. I recommend Halcyon, without reservation!

Room Tip: I had the room near the kitchen with a large bathroom--it was ideal.

We so appreciate the feedback. It is great to know you enjoyed the moose in our yard! Sorry we could only offer a limited discount for your custom package due to our short season and the high operating costs in remote locations. As we are committed to energy and resource conservation, we choose environmentally friendly products, we constantly search for ways cutting costs without sacrificing services. Thanks again for coming to see Alaska and letting us take care of you in Alaska. Keep on the happy traveling.

“An unexpected delight in Homer, AK”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

people found this review helpful

As new residents to Anchorage, my husband and I decided to make our first long weekend trip to Homer in September. We were delighted with our stay at the Halcyon Heights B&B. We stayed two nights and were blown away not only by our host's knowledge of the area and ability to hone in on places we would be interested in, but also by going the extra mile to make arrangements for us at local restaurants and water taxi's without our even having to ask! Upon our arrival, Juxia immediately made us feel entirely at home. The beautiful plants in the main part of the house were especially notable, the view overlooking the Spit was incredible, and our room was extremely comfortable and immaculate. We especially appreciated being able to relax after a day's hike in a room where we could read with excellent lighting, something we often find lacking when we travel. The bed was extremely comfortable. Our breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, and Juxia worked our dietary preferences into the menu. Halcyon Heights B&B is just a few minutes from downtown, and we were very glad to be in a quiet section of town. All in all, we highly recommend Halcyon for anyone looking for a wonderful experience in Homer.

We stayed at Halcyon Heights for 3 nights near the end of the tourist season in September. Juxia was the most helpful host we have ever met. She spoke with us numerous times via phone in the months preceding our trip and helped us arrange a bear watching trip. She advised us to schedule an additional day in Homer as weather was very hard to predict in September and we are very glad we listened to her. If we had not changed our schedule we would not have been able to make the flight to Brooks River to see the grizzlies - a trip highlight. She was a joy to speak with, the room was exceptionally comfortable and the breakfasts were large and delicious. I highly recommend Halcyon Heights to all.

“Great location and overall a great experience”

We stayed here two nights and the breakfast was really good. The hosts were very helpful and they were able to help us with all of our requests and needs. We stayed in the Captain's Quarters which was the right size room for our group.

Juxia helped us with a fishing trip and also made us lunch to take on the boat which was really great.

The had board games, video's and lots of other things available to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

The view from the deck was incredible. The hot tub was in a great location and it was pretty easy to locate the property.

They even helped us locate some great dining options every night. Overall a good place to stay and a good value compared to some of the other places we looked at staying.

Room Tip: Ask Juxia, the host and she will put you in the best room!
